DiMarco, Schraeder Recognized for Breakout Years

It’s not often that a team has two undrafted players on their roster who enjoy breakout years and become starters by proving they can consistently dominate in the NFL.

Pro Football Focus included DiMarco and Schraeder on their All-Pro team and also recently included them in their top-25 breakout players of the 2015 season.

DiMarco, an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina in 2011, not only made a name for himself in Atlanta, but also caught the attention of many around the league, earning a trip to the Pro Bowl in January.

His ability to be stout in both the run and pass game helped him shine in offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan’s zone-blocking scheme that was implemented.
