Second and third-year players ready to break out in 2018

Forrest Lamp

Going into last year’s draft, it was Haason Reddick and Forrest Lamp who really caught my eye as big-time prospects coming from smaller schools. While Reddick played the whole year in various roles for the Cardinals, Lamp was already lost for the season with a torn ACL back in August and is now looking to make his debut in year two.

The Chargers also drafted Indiana’s Dan Feeney a year ago, whom I liked a lot and I thought had a solid rookie campaign, but it was Lamp I had as my number one offensive lineman available. After seeing the transition inside from playing left tackle for the Hilltoppers in limited time at the Senior Bowl, I projected him to be a high-quality guard at the next level. I have yet to see him back on the field, but his athletic ability to mirror the best pass rushers at the collegiate level and the grip he keeps on defenders leave me with very high hopes for the second-year man.
