Everyone knows the stars of teams in the NFL, the true leaders that help their team go. As the years go, more players start to make the jump towards being a star in their own right. NFL.com's Bucky Brooks recently listed such potential players for his 2024 All-Breakout Team and one piece of the Jets' offensive line made the cut.

That player is second-year center Joe Tippmann, who made an immediate impact on the offense as a rookie in 2023 and is poised for even greater things in 2024.

Here's what Brooks had to say about the Jets' center:

Tippmann didn't make his first regular-season appearance until Week 3 last season, and he didn't move from right guard to center until Week 9, with the Aaron Rodgers-less Jets winning just three of Tippmann's 10 starts from that point forward. Rodgers' return from the Achilles injury that cost him all but four offensive snaps in 2023 should make life easier for Tippmann at the point of attack. The four-time MVP quarterback can alleviate some of the stress on Tippmann to make all the calls at the line while helping the young pivot master some of the nuances of playing the position. As a scrappy blocker with exceptional length and athleticism, the former second-rounder could settle into his role in Year 2 and show more dominance after flashing blue-chip potential.

The Jets revamped their offensive line this offseason, bringing in left tackle Tyron Smith, guard John Simpson and right tackle Morgan Moses. But the middle of the offensive line is set for years to come thanks to the quick emergence of Tippmann, the Jets' second-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2023.

Many may not know of Tippmann quite yet, but another strong season in 2024 and he'll be a household name sooner rather than later.
