Predicting Breakout Stars for All 32 NFL Teams in 2012 | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1063131-predicting-breakout-stars-for-all-32-nfl-teams-in-2012)

Leonard Hankerson, Wide Receiver

Provided the Redskins actually bring in an NFL quarterback in 2012, Hankerson should have a monster season in his second year.

He showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie campaign, his best performance coming in in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins (his old stomping grounds from his record-setting days at Miami) totaling eight catches for 106 yards.

Unfortunately, his season was cut short on his eighth catch of that game as he tore his labrum, leading to surgery and a spot on the team's injured reserve list. He is in recovery now, and he should be good to go for training camp.

Hankerson is a productive receiver with speed and soft hands, and I'm expecting him to become an integral part of Mike Shanahan's offense for years to come with the Washington Redskins.

Jabar had a good year for sure, but he isn't the playmaker MM is/can be at times. Both are solid 2's

JG is more consistent, while MM tends to be all or nothing.

I'd be leary of giving MM a big money deal based on what he did in the SB.

Mike Wallace?

word is Pittsburgh may have to let Wallace walk, I doubt they do though

Patriots do have 2 #1 picks, one of which they could send to Pittsburgh for Wallace

San Fran and Baltimore want a WR too...

Manningham is still better then anything the Skins have now.

I'd rather have Gaffney. Any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Sounds like B. Lloyd wants to reunite with his boy McDaniels, that could be a nice move for them.
