5. Justin Houston
Houston, an eight-year Kansas City Chiefs veteran, has signed on with the upstart Indianapolis Colts for the 2019 season. The Colts were one of the hottest teams in the NFL towards the end of the year and Houston will bring necessary experience and a dedicated work ethic to a younger group.
The former Bulldog has 381 tackles and 78.5 sacks in his career. He has also shown the ability to drop back into coverage with 4 career interceptions but has made his money being a pass-rushing difference maker.
4. Matthew Stafford
Stafford is the longest tenured starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions since Bobby Layne from 1950-1957. He is arguably the best the franchise had ever had at the position. Stafford has 38,526 career passing yards to go along with 237 touchdowns and a 62.4 percent completion rate.
Recently, Stafford has gotten a bad wrap because of his lack of playoff and big-game appearances but he has consistently been among the best stat producers in the game. His team is improving year after year and the numbers speak for themselves. The success will come.
3. David Andrews
One of the most successful players on this list, Andrews has made multiple trips to the Super Bowl snapping the ball to and protecting legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Andrews is among the best pass protectors in the league every season and continues to rack up accolades.
At just 26 years old, Andrews will only get better.
2. A.J. Green
Green was one of the most highly decorated receivers that ever came out of Georgia. He was seen as a game breaker and has lived up to that title with spectacular catches and 63 career touchdowns. Green amassed 8,907 receiving yards on struggling Cincinnati Bengals teams and is nowhere near finished.
Green has played eight professional seasons and has six 1,000 yards receiving campaigns, quite an accomplishment for a receiver.
1. Todd Gurley II
Gurley II has played four NFL seasons and accrued 4,547 rushing yards. Only one of his first four years has not been over 1,000 yards on the ground. Gurley II has 46 career touchdowns in 58 games with a Super Bowl appearance with the Los Angeles Rams.
As an extremely successful and dynamic running back, Gurley II is very young and still improving. Coming off an injury-plagued postseason, he will look to bounce back in a big way going into the 2019 season. Not to mention, he is a fantasy football stud…
