Summary: The Chargers

The Wisconsin Badgers football team has been the supplier of some of the best football players in the NFL. Names like J.J Watt and Russel Wilson are on the tip of peoples tongues every season and this season is no different. There are some players that are in the NFL that their starting job is not as secure as those of Wilson and Watt. With 32 former players in the NFL it is apparent that Wisconsin has produced a large number of players that will take to the field and be part of a large number of highlight reels in the coming season. Here are a few of these that are looking to stand out this season.

Aaron Rodgers has done an impressive job filling Brett Favre’s gab on the Green Bay Packers as stated in the article Green Bay, Once Owned by Favre, Now Belongs to Rodgers. Favre, the previous quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, had led the team until he left for Minnesota two years ago, leaving many fans heartbroken. However, after this past season, Rodgers has proven himself. At first, with injuries to the offensive line, the team was damaged and had 41 sacks in the first nine games, averaging between four-to-five sacks per game. However, they shaped up, with the help of Rodgers, and were considered to be the “hottest team” for the second half of the season. Even with the rocky start, Rodgers still helped make a franchise record of 461

It’s rare for a rookie quarterback to end up as the starter during their inaugural season let alone have any type of success worthy of making a fantasy team. However, trends change and as evidence, seven out of the ten best rookie QB performances have happened since 2008.

The Carolina Panthers found themselves a star in Kelvin Benjamin drafting him 28th overall in 2014 draft. We took him 28th overall I think he has already become a steal for the Panthers and Dave Gettleman who is a great evaluator of talent. He took the NFL by storm becoming quarterback Cam Newton's favorite target right away and for good reason; setting Panther rookie records for receptions receiving yards and touchdowns with 79 catches 1008 yards and nine touchdowns.

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.

“I got bored,” head coach Dana Holgorsen joked. “I looked over to the sidelines and I said, ‘He’s made a whole bunch of plays, he’s made a whole bunch of plays, he’s made a whole bunch of plays and he’s made a whole bunch of plays, they never played together, so I said to Jake (offensive coordinator Jake Spavital), ‘Get those guys out there.’”

3rd round (83rd overall) - Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State: Rivers is a 6'4" defensive end/linebacker hybrid who excelled in the FCS under head coach Bo Pelini. A late bloomer, Rivers made a huge jump his junior year, before dominating the FCS this past season as a senior opposite Avery Moss, a fifth round draft pick of the New York Giants.

He had a talent for drafting great rookies, who eventually made it to the Hall of Fame. Some of these were Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, Jack Ham, and Franco Harris. Then, Chuck Noll was able to pull off four future Hall of Famers in one year (1974). These were Mike Webster, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and Jack Lambert. This draft was Pittsburgh's best ever. The Steelers were the only team to draft four future Hall of Famers. All these players who were drafted in the early 1970s formed an amazing football team- the only team to win 4 Super Bowls in 6

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and many teams have vastly improved their roster for the 2017-18 season. However, several teams still have areas of need that demand addressing, even after the addition of rookie talent.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have the potential to become a powerhouse in the AFC South within the next few years. The Jaguars are loaded with potential throughout their entire roster. They already have their franchise quarterback in Blake Bortles. Although Bortles struggled last year, he still possesses extraordinary qualities and intangibles that will continue to develop and help him blossom into a superstar. Bortles set the franchise record for passing touchdowns in Jaguars history in 2015 with 35 touchdowns. The potential in Bortles is obvious, and the Jaguars are in a great position with him under center for the future.

Tim Tebow: Expectations were high for this 2007 Heisman-winning Florida quarterback when he was drafted by the Broncos in the first round. Unfortunately, Tebow did not have the passing skills to make it

3) OLB, DeMarcus Ware: The 6-foot-4, 258 pound sack-machine is still recording double digit sacks at age 32. Ware, a versatile-hybrid-type, who was projected to be a DE/OLB out of Troy University, has excelled his game as one of the best QB-Hunters on the perimeter. Selected 11th overall in the ’05 draft by the Cowboys, Ware was a perfect match for Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells’ 3-4 scheme as a standup bull-rusher.

Byron Scott is the current head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. His record as an NBA coach is actually 453-644. With that in mind, I would first see who are potential coaching candidates that would be a better fit for the Los Angeles Lakers. It did not take me long to find my answer, they need to hire Luke Walton as the head coach. Luke Walton is the son of past star, Bill Walton. Luke Walton actually played for the Los Angeles Lakers for a while in his playing career. He is currently the assistant coach to Steve Kerr for the Golden State Warriors. Luke Walton is arguably one of the best assistant coaches in the league right now so it makes sense for the Lakers to try and convince him to come coach for them. If Luke Walton is willing to take the job, I would immediately fire Byron Scott and give Luke Walton to take control as the head coach of the Los Angeles

While, in typical Oakland Raiders fashion, they picked up the draft-bust with $600,000 in guaranteed money hoping to stabilize the running back position with uncertainty

At a time when the Boston Celtics are playing good ball, they last thing they want to see is personnel issues that could disrupt what seems to be great team chemistry. That may have been a bit too much to expect as G Avery Bradley has come forward with apparent issues related to his current four-year, $32 million contract.
