5 Breakout players from training camp to watch out for in 2022/23 NFL season

NFL training camp gives each team the opportunity to officially begin preparations for the upcoming season. It's the first time during the offseason where all players and coaches are in the team facilities together. During this timeframe, they can formally begin working out the playbook and implementing strategies for the regular season.

Training camp also gives NFL players an opportunity to carve out a larger role for themselves by impressing the coaching staff. This is especially true for rookies and other players who may be further down the depth chart. Here are five players who have already established themselves as potential breakout players during training camp ahead of the 2022/23 NFL season.

#1 - Gregory Rousseau

Gregory Rousseau played in all 17 games for the Buffalo Bills during his rookie season last year, recording four sacks and defending well against the run. He now has an elite mentor this season as the Bills signed Von Miller during the offseason.

Here's a training camp example of Von Miller giving Greg Rousseau help with pass-rushing moves.

We've seen this dating back to OTAs and minicamp.

Miller is one of the best pass rushers of this generation, making him the prime candidate to help Rousseau develop his game.

#2 - Velus Jones Jr.

The Chicago Bears are in desperate need of offensive weapons as they are projected to have one of the weakest rosters in the NFL this season. They may have found a spark in Velus Jones Jr., who they selected in the third round of the 2022 draft.

Jones is an extremely dynamic player who can play many different positions, similar in style to Deebo Samuel. During his college career, he was utilized as a receiver, rusher, and returner. He has reportedly been lining up all over the field in training camp so far as well.
