4. Clinton Lynch goes over 1,000  yards from scrimmage

This shouldn’t be too much of a surprise especially following Lynch’s strong 2016 season where he had 415-rushing yards and 490-receiving yards for a total of 905-yards. Now with Marcus Marshall and Dedrick Mills both gone, Lynch will become even a bigger proponent of the Jackets offense.

While he won’t lead the team in rushing yards, it wouldn’t be shocking for Lynch to close in on 500-rushing yards in 2017 while 600-receiving yards is certainly in reach. While he may barely make it over 1,000 all purpose yards, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Lynch land anywhere between 1,000 and 1,200 yards from scrimmage.
