| 2008 Target Players: AFC North By Jay Miles jmiles@progridironfootball.com May 7, 2008 Every year, there is always that one player that each team, fans, and media are waiting to "break out". PGF's Jay Miles examines a player for each team he believes that everyone is waiting on in our 2008 Target Players. |
| Mark Clayton, WR Ravens |
| With progressing in his first two years in the league (44 rec., 471 yds., 2TDs in 2005, 67 rec., 939 yds, 5 TDs in 2006), Clayton went backwards in '07 (48 rec., 531 yds., 0 TDs). Part of can blamed on the Ravens inconsistent passing game, but most of it can be blamed on his inability to get open. Clayton is a big part of the Ravens passing game and must return to '06 form. |
| Chris Perry, RB Bengals |
| Perry has had a injury plagued career, but has shown flashes (4.6 YPC in 2005) the limited time he was on the field. With the backfield getting crowded (Rudi Johnson, DeDe Dorsey, Kenny Irons, and Kenny Watson) its now or never for Perry. |
| Eric Wright, CB Browns |
| With Leigh Bodden traded to Detroit, Wright has become the #1 corner in their secondary. Wright, in his rookie season, has shown that he is a good tackler, but must step up this year because he is facing the opposing teams #1 receiver. |
| Heath Miller, TE Steelers |
| Miller has shown himself as a legitimate red zone threat and big play tight end, but has been too inconsistent. Miller has all the intangibles to become an elite tight end, but has to stop fading late (Has only 5 touchdowns Weeks 10-17 in three years) in the year. |
