I am going to go with Sweezy.

He was a DL player in college, and ended up starting in the NFL on the O-Line months later.

It was a difficult transition, however, you could see flashes of decent play.

After a year, I think he is going to be improving rather well. Now we drafted another one in Jared Smith.

I'm hoping it's Sweezy or Breno. That would be huge.

Hoping it's Carp. His size and strength could be so helpful on that line.

I say the jury is still out on John "Trial by my Peeers" Moffitt

I think and hope it will be Big Red. I have no confidence in Carpenter or Thurmond remaining healthy next year.

Let's say It's Irvin...bulking up + PED suspension = Better improve a lot if you want to stay here

Chancellor. He got his ankles taken cared of and should be ready to not only lay the lumber, but break up some more passes.

I think Sidney Rice blows the doors open. He was open and missed A LOT by Wilson last year.

Add Harvin to the fray and the fact that Russell Wilson has probably watched every play from last season 10 or more times and I expect RW to play to Rice's strengths.

Really, a strong and viable case could be made for half of our roster.

I'm stoked.

I'm with this. I could list a lot of guys:

1. Carpenter
2. Thurmond
3. Irvin
4. Mebane
5. Baldwin
6. Rice
7. Turbin
8. Chancellor

The case could be made for all of these to have big leaps in productivity this year. Some on this list didn't perform poorly, but maybe less than the standard they have recently set. I figured that would qualify as turnaround too.

Kam Chancellor. He just didn't seem himself for most of last season, but a few times near the end of the year (SF, etc) he started to kick ass again. He's had ankle/foot surgery since then and claims to feel much better. Maybe it's just press talk, but it's not hard to believe that something was holding back Kam for most of last season.

Irvin isn't going anywhere, even if he were to never become the full time leo. As long as he learns some more pass rushing moves he'd have a role as a pass rushing specialist.

I do agree with the Irvin pick, Im hoping that him bulking up + an offseason of coaching can help him learn some pass rushing moves and improve his rush defense.

Breno. Contract year. You'll see his best football this year and he'll stay away from penalties. I wouldn't be shocked if he rates out on one of those football sites as the best lineman this year on the team. From practice squad guy to pro bowl caliber. Thats what I call a turnaround.
