Best Pro Football Player

He started his first game and started for the rest of that season. He was one of the best rookies that year and became the first rookie in the cowboys franchise to start all the games at the center position. He sure did change everybody's mind as he continued this performance next season. He improved next season and was also named to his first pro bowl in his career. Even though the Cowboys did not do so good in the 2015 season he still did impress as he had to work with 4 different starting quarterback all with there different and personal offensive strategies which required him to make more protection calls and be on his game. Even after he did this he still performed at a pro bowl level among his fellow

In his senior season, Rivers finished with 58 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks. Perhaps his greatest strength is his versatility in rushing the passer. Rivers fills the prototypical Patriots' hybrid pass rusher that players like Rob Ninkovich and Trey Flowers have dominated in. Rivers will compete with Geneo Grissom, Lawrence Guy and fellow draft pick Deatrich Wise for playing time in a backup role.

This brings us to his future. For now he is going to stick with the falcons and continue as the star running back. He is not just doing this for himself, but he is doing it for his family. He is going to stay with them and pay for his sisters college. He does not want to get caught up in a contract dispute, because the only thing that matters to him is football and taking care of his family. Devonta Freeman only has one more year on his contract though, and we will see if he takes any offers. As far as his stats look, they look like they will keep improving, and be even more impressive than they already

As of right now, the Bucs have Z-E-R-O players with any ability to pass rush. Sure, Robert Ayers is good at what he does, but don't expect more than 6 sacks out of him. William Gholston is a great “run stopping” left DE but don't expect him to get to the opposing QB very often. Last year we drafted Noah Spence and he has shown flashes of his skills, but he has been injured most of the year.

It is possible you forgot when James Starks burst onto the scene after being a 6th round pick out of Buffalo. In week 13 the Packers, looking for a spark in the running game activated Starks for the first time all season. He responded by rushing for 73 yards on 18 attempts, in a win over the 49ers. After that Starks returned to his modest role, until the playoffs. During the playoff run, James Starks seemingly came out of nowhere to run for 123 yards on 23 carries against the Eagles. The sparkplug continued to run hard all the way through the playoffs rushing for at least 50 yards in every game as the Packers went on to be crowned Super Bowl Champions.

Carson Wentz is the captain of the 2018 Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Eagles by clinching the NFC East title prior to tearing his ACL at the end of the Eagles conference season. It was only Wentz’s second year in the NFL and he had originally begun his career as a third string quarterback until this season. Wentz had brought the Eagles faith back again after leading the team to multiple victories in the 2017 season. Although Wentz was unable to play for his team in the Super Bowl due to his ACL injury, he still supported and rooted for his team every game. When Nick Foles had taken over for Wentz, Wentz did not give up hope or feel down about himself. He than helped Nick Foles by continuing to motivate him any

Chancellor turns Seattle’s defensive unit from great to elite, evidenced by the NFL naming him the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week for games played in Week 10. What’s even more impressive is that the game against the New England Patriots last week was Chancellor’s first game back after missing the previous four weeks with a groin injury.

Marshall is known for his ability to break and dodge tackles.[1] He led all NFL wide receivers in yards after first contact for the 2007 NFL season. Regarding Marshall's breakaway ability, cornerback Brandon Flowers said, "Brandon Marshall is a defensive lineman playing wide receiver. He wants to inflict punishment on you. He wants you to try to tackle him so he can shove you off of him and get more yards."[1]

In last year’s NFL Draft, the Eagles used their first two picks to address the defensive side of the football.

In 2015, Chicago had a mediocre running game at best throughout the season. Yes, there were moments that stole the breath and raised the excitement of fans, but those plays were short lived and quickly forgotten. The Bears ranked 11th in the league with 115.9 rushing yards per game. The running backs accounted for 12 touchdowns and ran the ball for over 1,800 yards. It was the last season for Forte in a Bears uniform but fans were given several looks at just how bright of a career Jeremy Langford could have.

While this first primetime game of 2016 will feature two great running backs, there are other rushers who are worth watching and hard to tackle.
