Nobody saw that coming...oh wait, I did?

Which 3 players, currently signed to a CFL team, are going to make 2011 their breakout season?

Definition: For the purpose of this question lets define "breakout" as a player that finishes in the top 5 of their respective statistical category for the first time.

Mine are (and they are all from Winnipeg):

QB - Buck Pierce - I'm basically basing this on the prayer that he remain healthy for one entire season...his talent is obvious but his durability is horrific. Of course, this wouldn't really surprise anyone so just for fun, I'll also say Joey Elliot. He might not even make the team, but the kid is fun because he gets excited and it's always easy to root for the players that genuinely enjoy playing.

WR - TJ Harris - He was on pace to be the rookie of the year last year until an injury sidelined him. He is incredibly dangerous in the open field. He seemed hesitant his first few games back but picked it up a little at the end. If he can return to the form he started last year with, he will lead the league in YAC and will hit four digits in pass yards.

DE - Dorian Smith. Smith will benefit from three things...the departure of Philip Hunt, the return of Doug Brown and his coach, Richard Harris. It's because of the last two that Winnipeg has had one of the best defensive lines in the league the last half decade. I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach double digits in sacks.

    QB - Travis Lulay, he's the next rising QB star of the CFL. He'll really benefit if Wally manages to re-sign Jackson as a mentor.

    WR - O'Neil Wilson, I'm sure he has lots of talent bottled up inside of him and 2011 will be the year where he lets it all out.

    DT - Eric Taylor, he will add toughness and experience to a very young Lions defense.
