The Buffalo Bills are coming off a great season. They reached the AFC Championship Game. Quarterback Josh Allen was the breakout player for the Bills last season. He finished second in MVP voting only behind Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Bills roster was improved even more in the off-season through free agency and the draft. The key free agency signings included resigning safety Micah Hyde and bringing in wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders had a tough 2020 season but is a former Pro Bowler. Sanders has a chance to revitalize his career alongside one of the best receivers in the league Stefon Diggs. He will also have a chance to play with an up and coming quarterback Josh Allen.

The Bills roster also includes many players that have a chance to breakout. Here are 3 potential breakout players for the Bills in the 2021 NFL season.

Bills breakout candidates:

3. Running back Zack Moss

With Devin Singeltary struggling throughout the season, rookie Zack Moss stepped up. He has showcased his great potential as he is a very physical runner. With a great passing game a running back like Moss will help elevate the offense to the next level. A physical runner like Moss can wear down the defense and create easier running lanes as the game moves on.

The offense could become a great balance between the run and pass game. Moss will be a big part in making that happen and transforming the offense to an elite group for years to come.

Look for Moss to help improve the offense even more for the Bills.

2. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds

Tremaine Edmunds is already a great linebacker but he has the chance to become a superstar. Edmunds has made 2 Pro Bowls in his first 3 seasons and could become even better. He has all the physical tools and skills to be a top linebacker in the league. The speed he has at his size allows him to stay with almost any player in coverage. The former 1st round pick will enter his 4th year in the scheme with a great shot of breaking out.

Prepare for Edmunds to take a jump to a new level and become a defensive leader for the Bills.

1. Defensive end A.J. Epenesa

A.J. Epenesa didn't get a ton of playing time in his rookie campaign but when he did he showcased his potential. His best games were in Week 17 and in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Epenesa should see more time this season and could make a big impact for this Bills team. He could develop into a great pass rusher for the Bills and become a great player for years to come.

Look for Epenesa to take a big jump and become an impact player for the Bills next season.

The Bills are primed for another great season. With up and coming talent paired with great veteran players, the Bills are set up to succeed. The Chiefs will be a threat for the Bills every season but they have the talent to beat them. It appears that the Chiefs and Bills will be going at it for many years due to the elite quarterback play on both teams.

Fans should be excited as this Bills team looks ready to compete for a Super Bowl this season.
