Keppy is one player who needs to take the next step this season. He has the physical tools to be successful IMO but he has been passed on the depth chart by younger and lower-ranked players. I believe he has suffered a couple injuries but I somewhat expected that he would contend for a starting position by this point in his career. I hope Keppy turns it on this Summer and Fall because he may be needed to step in and perform at some point this season.
