Perhaps they needed a change of scenery or their time had run out at their previous NFL team. A lot of these players figure to benefit from the changes, whether they were bad last year or not.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some NFL players might just surprise the world by playing better than anyone expects them to. They might have been injury-plagued or just bad last year, but that probably won&#8217;t be the case anymore. Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<h2>NFL players that could be surprisingly good next year<\/h2>\n<h3>1) Allen Lazard<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aaron Rodgers Seen Working Out With Jets&#039; Allen Lazard, Wearing Jets Cleats?! | Pat McAfee Reacts\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JEisvCgTPUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\" data-embed=\"JEisvCgTPUc\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/2cd33-16812169300463-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/2cd33-16812169300463-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-jets-hatching-cunning-move-aaron-rodgers-favorite-teammate-bid-hasten-trade-four-time-mvp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Allen Lazard<\/a> isn&#8217;t a top wide receiver as he was somewhat pushed to be last year in Green Bay. He&#8217;s good, but he&#8217;s not someone a defense particularly gameplans for. Nevertheless, he could be surprisingly good in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>If Aaron Rodgers joins him on the New York Jets, he&#8217;ll have a good rapport with his new quarterback. He will also have the benefit of defenses shifting coverage towards Garrett Wilson. Those two factors could make Lazard a sneakily good wide receiver next season.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>2) Jimmy Garoppolo<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UNDISPUTED - Skip and Shannon react to the Raiders signing Jimmy Garoppolo\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IK-efNlRaes?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\" data-embed=\"IK-efNlRaes\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/c826a-16812170884766-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/c826a-16812170884766-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jimmy Garoppolo isn&#8217;t an elite quarterback. His win\/loss record is due to a few things, primarily his team&#8217;s talent but also because he&#8217;s worked with good offensive minds. It&#8217;s hard for anyone to look bad with Kyle Shanahan running their offense.<\/p>\n<p>However, Garoppolo might surprise people next season when he looks once again like one of the most skilled and competent NFL players in the quarterback position. Josh McDaniels is not Shanahan, but he has a good offensive mind. He&#8217;s also familiar with Garoppolo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-jimmy-garoppolo-reveals-tom-brady-left-starstruck-first-patriots-encounter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">from their time in New England<\/a>. Throwing to Davante Adams won&#8217;t hurt, either.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>3) Miles Sanders<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Panthers RB Miles Sanders Talks Jalen Hurts, Leaving Eagles, NFL Draft w Rich Eisen | Full Interview\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kdpSFd9bfpk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\" data-embed=\"kdpSFd9bfpk\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/7f0fa-16812172279007-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/7f0fa-16812172279007-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers don&#8217;t have the dominant offensive line that the Philadelphia Eagles do. They also don&#8217;t have Shane Steichen running their offense or Nick Sirianni helping. They also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-nfl-insider-reveals-whether-panthers-still-thinking-bryce-young-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">don&#8217;t have a rushing quarterback<\/a> to take pressure off of the running back.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, many fans expect Miles Sanders to be one of the NFL players who regresses next season. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/cj-stroud-panthers-carolina-pushing-hard-land-top-qb-prospect-bryce-young\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Panthers<\/a> do have a very strong offensive line. They went from Christian McCaffrey to Chuba Hubbard and D&#8217;Onta Foreman and hardly missed a beat.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders is also a really good player who might not be as dependent on the situation as people think. He could be surprisingly good this year.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>4) Odell Beckham Jr.<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Did the Ravens Overpay for Odell Beckham Jr. Just to Lure Lamar Jackson? | The Rich Eisen Show\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bWRyC9RicbQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/youtube\" data-embed=\"bWRyC9RicbQ\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/e90b8-16812173705569-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/e90b8-16812173705569-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Odell Beckham Jr. is coming off a major ACL injury and hasn&#8217;t played in more than a season. He also has other injuries in the past that gave many teams pause this offseason. However, he will likely surprise many people with how good he is next year.<\/p>\n<p>Beckham was one of the most dynamic NFL players when healthy even in 2021- the last time he played. People may have forgotten that he was headed for a Super Bowl MVP award before he got injured and helped guide the Los Angeles Rams to that game in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>If the Ravens pair him with a legitimate NFL quarterback, he will have a surprisingly good year.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>5) Kyler Murray<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Kyler Murray might be one of the more surprising NFL players\" src=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><img class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg?w=720 720w ,https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg?w=840 840w, https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w , https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 720w,(max-width: 420px) 840w,(max-width: 600px) 1200w, 1920w\" alt=\"Kyler Murray might be one of the more surprising NFL players\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/ce9a3-16812174537353-1920.jpg\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201280%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Kyler Murray might be one of the more surprising NFL players<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kyler Murray signed a massive extension last offseason.
