2028 Football Eligibles
A.J. Green, who was drafted from the University of Georgia, was the first wide receiver picked in the 2011 Draft. He played a long and successful career with the Cincinnati Bengals. In his rookie year, Green was an All-Rookie and made the Pro Bowl after recording 1,057 yards and 7 touchdowns. He followed that up with two consecutive Second Team…
Kern had an outstanding career, primarily spent in Tennessee, where he was selected for the Pro Bowl three times and earned the title of First Team All-Pro once. In 2017, he led the NFL in Yards per Punt, and as of now, he is ranked 17th in the league's all-time records.
DeSean Jackson was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a Second Round Pick in 2008. As a Wide Receiver, he showcased a unique specialty in the National Football League by using his track-star-like speed to outrun almost anyone and stretch the field. Jackson was an All-Rookie Selection in his first year, with 912 Yards, and he broke 1,000 Yards five…
Devin McCourty had a long and illustrious career in the National Football League, primarily with the New England Patriots. While his contribution to the Patriots is highly valued, his career statistics may not be enough to secure a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. McCourty played college football at Rutgers and was selected by the Patriots as the…
Best known for his three stints with the New England Patriots, Jamie Collins found a home under Bill Belichick Linebacking corps in the interior. Collins had four 100-plus Tackle years (two with New England, one with Cleveland and one with Detroit), and was a big part of the Patriots Super Bowl XLIX Championship. Collins also led the league in Forced…
J.J. Watt. Here, we have a player in the conversation for the best Defensive End that ever lived, and if you don’t agree with that, you have to acknowledge that he belongs in the conversation. With the above paragraph, he enters rarified air with this. He was just as impactful off the gridiron as he was on it. Have we…
Kevin Huber was a two-time All-American Punter at the University of Cincinnati and was so good that he was one of the few Punters who was drafted (5th Round). Even better, the team that drafted him was his hometown Bengals, where he played all of his 14 NFL seasons. A Pro Bowl Selection in 2014, Huber played in 216 Games,…
A Second Round Pick from Notre Dame in 2011, Tight End, Kyle Rudolph was one of the most consistent figures for the Minnesota Vikings through the 2010s. An All-Rookie Selection, Rudolph went to his first Pro Bowl as a sophomore with career highs in Touchdowns (9) with 493 Yards; though injuries held him to only half seasons over the next…
At the University of Alabama, Mark Ingram was a superstar. The Crimson Tide Running Back captured the coveted Heisman Trophy in 2009, and his school won the National Championship. He did this as a sophomore, and while he regressed due to knee issues as a Junior, Ingram was still expected to be a high pick, which he was, when the Saints took…
Ok. This should be one of the more interesting debates, though we think it won’t be discussed as much as it should be. Why would this be? As good as he was, Matt Ryan rarely was in the public eye and never went mainstream like other great Quarterbacks. He quietly went about his business, was drama-free, and did his job…
Robbie Gould is one of the most consistent kickers in NFL history. Although he was only a Pro Bowl and All-Pro player once, that doesn’t detract from his impressive career. Gould was undrafted in 2005 from Penn State, but he signed with the Chicago Bears during the NFL season and won the starting job. He kept this position until he…
Taylor Lewan was the third Offensive Linemen taken in the 2014 Draft (11th Overall), and he arguably has been more successful than the two (Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews) selected ahead of him. Lewan would win the starting job at Left Tackle during his debut season, finishing as an All-Rookie, and he progressively got better, rattling off three consecutive Pro Bowls…
We have done profiles on athletes for our futures section before, and we know we didn’t have to explain their accolades, but with all due respect to those men, there is only one Tom Brady. So, maybe you will forgive us if this seems a little brief. You all know his story. Brady was a steal for the Patriots in…
