# Rob Rang: Rang names one 2025 draft pick from each NFC team he expects to break out in their second season, attaching specific role and production expectations to several of them (Skattebo as the Giants' bell cow, Campbell starting and starring in Philadelphia, Croskey-Merritt leading Washington's backfield, Burden becoming Caleb Williams' top target, Riley replacing Alontae Taylor, Martin starting for the 49ers by December, and Mills posting five sacks in Seattle). **Claimed:** Aug 13, 2026 **Pundit:** Rob Rang — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rob-rang **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/year-2-breakout-candidates-one-player-from-each-nfc-team-primed-take-leap 25 checkable claims — 16 sleeper calls, 7 depth chart calls and 2 player season numbers — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 32 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 6. > But I don't think Campbell is just going to start — I think he's going to star. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
