I know it's still early, but I wonder what everyone thinks about the WRs that are (maybe) coming into their own. Most of them have new coaches or QBs or Tropical Storms in their offenses that could make or break them.
I'm leaning towards Samie Parker. He's got some playing time under his belt (had 500/3 last year), he's quick, and could find himself open for a vet QB while defenses focus on LJ and Gonz.
Thoughts?

the problem is that many of the receivers from that draft such as lary fitzgerald, roy williams, and michael clayton have already broken out in at least one of their years. michael clayton's breakout status can be challenged b/c he broke out in his rookie year, but its still questionable.
there are some other players worth mentioning as possibilities of breakouts from that year. lee evans and michael jenkins are other possible cantidates, and rashaun woods was drafted in the first round, although he's now the 3 or 4 receiver for san diego, so thats unlikely.

no, it's not the best list of 3rd year WRs I could come up with.
it's the best list of 3rd year WRs that haven't done much yet (but might) and are in interesting team situations.

I'll go with Roy Williams. I'm really starting to warm up to Roy now that he has an actual NFL-caliber QB throwing to him. Now he just has to stay healthy, hopefully the Detroit training camp will be the real deal. I could see him pulling a Larry Fitzgerald this year.
With Pot-Head Rogers and Twinkie Man Williams, Scotty Vines may step into the #2 spot in Detroit with a great o-cordinator in Martz. Watch out for a possible break-out
