The younger Lopez tallied nearly 3,500 yards and 30 scores last season, and he will be the focal point of every team's defensive game plan. In the passing game, Aldo Hernandez is a top target, while RB Esteban Cruz is equally adept at passing and catching. The offensive line has a key player or two back, but they must mix in a few newcomers. The defense is a work in progress with only two starters back. If the defense can limit opponents, the offense will take care of the rest.
