Identifying the top offensive positions in the NFC South division
It wasn't long ago that the NFC South division had some of the finest offenses in the NFL. Quarterbacksand Tom Brady are among the best ever at the position. Matt Ryan and Cam Newton made several Pro Bowls, while Jameis Winston was another high draft choice that put up prolific numbers.
Earlier this week, we broke down the best position groups on defense in this division. As the 2024-25 campaign approaches, let's have a look at the best offensive positions in the NFC South.New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan rushes the passer against Atlanta Falcons offensive tackle Kaleb McGary / Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
New Orleans TE Juwan Johnson could have a big year in new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system. A converted wideout, Johnson provides an athletic mismatch for the Saints if used properly. Tampa Bay also has a solid receiving option at the position in Cade Otton, but neither player has risen to the next level yet. Carolina has an intriguing but unproven player in athletic rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders out of Texas.
Carolina has made efforts to give second-year QB Bryce Young some weapons after a miserable rookie showing. The Panthers traded for Diontae Johnson and drafted Xavier Legette, along with TE Sanders, to join reliable veteran Adam Thielen and second-year WR Jonathan Mingo. The eighth overall choice in last year's draft, Atlanta's Bijan Robinson showed signs of a bright future. He ran for 976 yards while averaging 4.6 per carry and added 58 receptions for another 487 yards. Look for both numbers to go up this year. Backing Robinson up is Tyler Allgiere, a bruising runner who had 1,035 yards rushing as a surprising rookie two years ago before picking up 683 in more limited duty last year.
Cousins, who turns 36 next month, was signed by Atlanta after missing the last half of 2023 with an Achilles injury. He's capable of some big performances and can be an accurate passer, but has often played his worst in his team's biggest games.
