4. KJ Hamler, WR

Wide receiver KJ Hamler has made a handful of spectacular plays this year. He’s one of those players who is such a threat to the defense whenever he touches the ball because his athleticism is off the charts. That’s primarily the reason why James Franklin would like the young wideout to get the ball more on the offense.

Unfortunately, the offense doesn’t seem to run through KJ Hamler, though at this point. As good as Hamler is, the Lions can’t seem to throw him the ball and become successful always. That’s really nobodies fault, but perhaps that monster breakout game that Hamler has been yearning for is coming.

When I say monster breakout game, I’m talking close to 200 yards with multiple scores from the young wideout. After all, that’s what Hamler has been striving for all season long. While he’s happy with his progress, he’s not exactly satisfied. Perhaps, the big stage will be the perfect time for Hamler to have his desired monster performance against Michigan. That would be ideal.
