Breakout Players from the NFC North

Do you remember the worm? Not Dennis Rodman, but the break-dance move? Well, get ready for a comeback, as <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/isaac-teslaa/86201">Isaac TeSlaa</a> loves to hit the worm when he scores a TD. And that's something he's done in every preseason game so far. TeSlaa looks poised to pass <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/tim-patrick/16262">Tim Patrick</a> as the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/detroit-lions-depth-chart">Lions</a>' #3 receiver. He has great size and hands to go with his great dance moves.

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/green-bay-packers-depth-chart">Packers</a> went and did something they hadn't ever done for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/aaron-rodgers/1536">Aaron Rodgers</a> by actually spending a first-round selection on a pass catcher to help the offense. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/matthew-golden/86081">Matthew Golden</a> is a smallish receiver with blazing speed. He has shown a nice rapport with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jordan-love/2030">Jordan Love</a> in camp and will slide right into their starting lineup. The Packers are in dire need of an alpha in their WR room and Golden may finally give that to them.

New Head Coach, Ben Johnson has come to town to fix the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/chicago-bears-depth-chart">Bears</a>' offense, and if his track record in <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/detroit-lions-depth-chart">Detroit</a> has shown us anything, it's that he likes to run the ball in a variety of ways. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dandre-swift/1363">D'Andre Swift</a> will likely be the Midway version of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jahmyr-gibbs/2151">Jahmyr Gibbs</a>, so who will be the Monty? Some think it may be rookie <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/kyle-monangai/86441">Kyle Monangai</a>, but I think <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/roschon-johnson/1756">Roschon Johnson</a> gets the first crack at the job.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jordan-mason/2648">Jordan Mason</a> burst onto the scene last year in <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/san-francisco-49ers-depth-chart">San Francisco</a> once the 49ers' merry-go-round at running back gave him his chance. Unfortunately, it didn't last too long as he eventually got banged up and missed the last few games of the season. Now sharing the backfield in <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/minnesota-vikings-depth-chart">Minnesota</a> with an aging <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/aaron-jones/1994">Aaron Jones</a>, Mason has an opportunity for goal-line work as well as a significant share of the touches.
