2. Rueben Randle

I’ve been extremely critical of Rueben Randle and for good reason. Since being the team’s 2nd-round pick in 2012, his play on the field has been questionable.

Some say his head isn’t in the game all the time, and that he struggles with the playbook. What makes me believe he could surprise many in 2015 is who he has around him. A healthy Victor Cruz and Odell Beckham Jr. means less attention on Randle from opposing defenses. Less attention equals better matchups.

Randle, ended the season with back-to-back stellar performances, which is something I think he can carry into this season. The pressure of living up to Cruz and Beckham Jr. should elevate Randle’s play and increase his want to improve.
