2023 NFL bounce-back candidates: Can Stafford, OBJ rebound?

Just as franchises have a clean slate for the 2023 NFL season, players do, too. Several have already made big statements to start the season.

After a strong Week 1 showing, can Mac Jones rebound from a down 2022 season and return to his 2021 form? Could stars such as Matthew Stafford, Joey Bosa and Odell Beckham Jr. be on track to have a big year after an injury-plagued season?

We asked our NFL Nation reporters to pick 32 bounce-back candidates for this season, explain what happened last season and what's in store in 2023. Each player mentioned has shown in the past he can play at a high level, and our list includes a few young players who were drafted high.

Let's start with a Buffalo Bills wide receiver expected to play a larger role in 2023.
