Some others to at least consider ...
Costello.
2017 = started 7 games, 150 yds/gm (in starts), PER = 139 (season long), all while playing second option to Love's 2000+ yard rushing season.
2018 = started all 12 games, 286 yds/gm, PER = 158, all while carrying the offensive load due to no run game.
Parkinson
2017 = 10 catches for 97 yds.
2018 = 28 catches for 476 yds. (and one really brobdingnagian game)
Gabe Reid
2017 = redshirt
2018 = tops in sacks, second in TFL, became solid full time player. 34 tackles.
Sean Barton
2016 = 35 tackles
2017 = 14 tackles, 3 games played
2018 = 84 tackles, played most every down.
Jordan Fox

2018 = 55 tackles (4th on team)
and, while not as spectacular overall, Irwin's numbers went up as much as JJAW's. Kaden Smith as well.
