Former Cavan star Fintan Cahill says the current team is "far superior" than ones that he's played on in the past.
Cahill was a key member of the last Breffni side to win an Ulster SFC title back in 1997 and has talked up Terry Hyland's team ahead of their trip to Croke Park for Sunday's Division Two final against Tyrone.
"They are far superior now. Physically, they are huge, they have speed, conditioning. The game has moved on," he told The Anglo-Celt.
"I actually have gone to most of the Cavan games this year and it's a breath of fresh air to see big men playing football. Not only that, big men that really can play football.
"I mean, Gearoid McKiernan's skill level, Killian Clarke's skill level, and the speed in the team. It's phenomenal and it's fantastic to see. The future is bright."
On the game itself, the Cuchulainns clubman is predicting a win for his native county:
"I would say that Cavan will win it. You have to consider the forwards. If you had (Seanie) Johnston and (Eugene) Keating in the two corners and (David) Givney full-forward, there aren't too many teams in the country that that wouldn't tog for.
"Hopefully, Cavan can take the game as it comes. It's just another game, but these guys have won a lot. This is a game they can win, no doubt about it."
