I keep reading about other teams having players poised for breakout years (or that next big step) which will make that team dangerous:
1. Patrick Peterson for AZ
2. Robert Quinn for STL
3. Okung for SEA
Are examples. But don't hear much about the 49ers having such a player(s). I would say Bowman, and Aldon to some degree, did it for us last year. But who do you thing has that potential for us this year? ASmith, Crabs, Culliver? I doubt it will be Jenkins in his first year. It's hard to predict a rookie as having a breakout year, it's more for other players that made strides last year and now can jump into key player roles.

Crabtree
I would've said Tarell Brown, but after a slow start in the first couple of games, Brown really did breakout last season. The only other player defensively that might be deemed a "breakout" is Culliver.

He seemed to be finding his place towards the end of the season. He was only a rookie. I think he's gonna be pretty good.
As far as us? I have to say Alex t.b.c.h. I think he's going to really turn some heads this year. Especially with the best WR core he's had, and a full offseason with a competant coaching staff.

He was a rookie starter on a pretty bad secondary and did a pretty decent job

I'd go withj T. Brown or Crabs.
T. Brown had a sensational year which was overshawowed by bigger names on our team. His coming out party might be 2012.
