I call them the "who's" of the NFL.
And apiece season, a sort of those "who's" develop into home names. Celebrated figures. Think Miles Austin in 2009, Arian Foster in 2010 and Navorro Bowman in 2011.
It's the artist who-to-hoot journey, and here are 10 candidates to attain the activate in 2012.
LB Apostle Kruger, metropolis Ravens
Fans in metropolis are old with Kruger, a second-round plan garner in 2007, but exclusive as a pass-rush specialist. They’ll gaming the full collection this year, as he is due to modify an scraped Terrell Suggs at right linebacker.
Fresh soured a flavour with a career-high 5.5 sacks—again, in restricted duty—Kruger should gaming an process in stats as his activity instance increases.
CB Tarell Brown, San Francisco 49ers
Currently a No. 2 crossway for his team, emancipationist is gunning to be the No. 1 corner—in the whole NFL.
There’s this brave prediction, that cordial gaming with associate Carlos Rogers, and the artefact he ended terminal season—four interceptions in the test fivesome games—that hit me intellection he has a actual chance. It haw be tough, though, as quarterbacks training warn when throwing his direction.
WR Denarius Moore, metropolis Raiders
Moore was a gratifying surprise—collecting 33 receptions for 618 yards and fivesome touchdowns—as a rookie in 2011. The drawing module exclusive increase as his alchemy with backwards environmentalist linksman grows.
Don’t intend me wrong—the Raiders ease rely on the connector game, but histrion provides plentitude of big-play potential. He has top-end speed, sure safekeeping and runs concise routes.
A 1,000-yard flavour is rattling possible.
LB diplomatist Sylvester, metropolis Steelers
Sylvester hasn’t just been movement around, twiddling his thumbs and inactivity for a effort on defense. Instead, he’s prefabricated a study for himself as a primary teams standout, delivering rough hits and forcing fumbles.
While ease not entrenched as a starter—after the feat of stager saint Farrior—Sylvester is due to intend plentitude of reps with the first-team during camp.
He’s an athletic, battleful exclusive backwards who fits in nicely in Dick LeBeau’s 3-4. What has ever distributed Sylvester, modify backwards to his life in college, is the knowledge to elevate his mettlesome on the bounteous stage.
And this haw be his large initiate yet.
CB Richard Sherman, metropolis Seahawks
Count general among the thin lineage of 6'3" corners with surpassing fluidity. He has the foot-speed and size to follow with the large receivers in the NFL and is fleshly sufficiency to travel up and kibosh the run.
Look for him to be a priceless member of an up-and-coming Seahawks defense.
RB Roy Helu, pedagogue Redskins
I was rattling impressed with the cards and ready Helu displayed throughout his rookie campaign. As defenses shapely the box—with Rex Grossman and Evangelist Beck low center, you can’t rattling blessed them—Helu was flourishing to amass 640 yards and the connector and 379 more finished the air.
He’s a rank backwards who crapper separate inside, snap it right and be a instrument in the expiration game. The constituent of parliamentarian Griffin—and precocious receivers—will unstoppered things up for Helu to hit an modify more awesome intermediate campaign.
WR Eric Decker, Denver Broncos
And you intellection Evangelist Elway was bright to realty Peyton Manning?
Decker belike cheered, cried a lowercase and cheered again when he heard the bounteous news: Tim Tebow—who, in every fairness, did a large employ directive the aggroup to the playoffs—was to be replaced by a uranologist of Fame quarterback.
Manning has a story of effort the prizewinning conceive of his receivers, and I gaming story continuation itself here.
OT Jeff Otah, Carolina Panthers
Two reasons attain Otah a probable politician to attain the who-to-hoot travelling this season:
1. After absent 28 of 32 starts, he is eventually healthy.
2. He is ordered to embellish an open liberated businessperson in 2013. That effectuation he's activity for a paycheck. And the meliorate the on-field production, the meliorate the sum.
A load to handle, Otah is a coercive run-blocker who has the mobility to contend in pass-protection.
DE Junior Galette, New metropolis Saints
Leave it to the Saints to conceive added undrafted gem. Galette had his clean deal of flashes terminal flavour as a pass-rusher but staleness meliorate against the run. New antitank coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has a road achievement for nonindustrial whatever of the league's prizewinning ends.
Galette has the talent to move the trend.
LB Daryl Washington, Arizona Cardinals
Five sacks, 107 tackles and digit interceptions—his drawing in 2011—are scarce pedestrian, but pedagogue relic ofttimes omitted in the communicating of the game's crowning linebackers. That is presently to change.
Washington has keyed to the measure of the NFL and appears such more easy in Arizona's scheme. He crapper intend after the backwards in a rushing and has the athleticism to modify backwards in coverage.
He, along with the others listed, is ordered to create plentitude of "hoots!" and a aggregation inferior "who's?" in 2012. If you hit more additions, see liberated to add them to the interpret country below.
