RJ YOUNG'S TAKE

DeFilippo takes over a Breakers' team that reached the playoffs last year. He will have some of that team's outstanding nucleus of playmakers returning for a second season, including All-USFL Defense selections Howard and Fernandez.

Offensively, wideouts Adams and Dixon, and running back Ellis highlight a loaded veteran group that should compete once again for the South Division title.

With an outstanding starting quarterback, the Breakers ought to hit the ground running when the season kicks off.
