I'm gonna put together a bracket style tournament to determine the best young stunna in the NFL. I'll make a preliminary list of players to be included in the contest. I'll take nominations as well. One per team. Young Stunnas: Detroit: Calvin Johnson Green Bay: Greg Jennings Minnesota: Adrian Peterson Chicago: Devin Hester San Francisco: Patrick Willis Seattle: Kelly Gennings St. Louis: Steven Jackson Arizona: Larry Fitzgerald Tampa Bay: Gaines Adams Atlanta: Curtis Lofton New Orleans: Marques Colston Carolina: Jon Beason Dallas: Felix Jones New York: Justin Tuck Philadelphia: DeSean Jackson Washington: Laron Landry Cleveland: Joe Thomas Cincinnati: Jonathan Joseph Pittsburgh: Santonio Holmes Baltimore: Terrell Suggs San Diego: Antonio Cromartie Oakland: Darren McFadden Kansas City: Dwayne Bowe Denver: Jay Cutler Houston: Mario Williams Jacksonville: Reggie Nelson Indianapolis: Antoine Bethae Tennessee: LenDale White Miami: Kendall Langford New England: Brandon Meriweather New York: Darrelle Revis Buffalo: Marshawn Lynch VOTE HERE
I think Darrelle Revis for the Jets. Laron landry for the redskins. Meriweather or Mayo would almost have to be the defaults for New England. Reggie Nelson in Jacksonville. Dwayne Bowe in KC. DMac in Oakland. Joe Thomas for Cleveland. Jonothan Joseph for Cincy, though Keith Rivers and Leon Hall are good too. Terrell Suggs for Baltimore? (he's only 25) Mario Williams in Houston. Desean Jackson in Philly. Hixon in NY Jenkins in Dallas maybe, or Felix Jones, though Barber is 25. Carolina should be Jon Beason. Denver should be Cutler not Royal, lol. New Orleans is Colston followed by Sedrick Ellis. Curtis Lofton for Atlanta. I would almost say Ernie Sims over CJ in Detroit.
Seattle: John Carlson St. Louis: Tye Hill Arizona: Larry Fitzgerald San Francisco: Frank Gore Tampa Bay: Gaines Adams Atlanta: Chris Houston New Orleans: Marques Colston Carolina: Jon Beason Dallas: Nick Folk New York: Aaron Ross Philadelphia: DeSean Jackson Washington: LaRon Landry Cleveland: Joe Thomas Cincinnati: Leon Hall Pittsburgh: Bruce Davis Baltimore: Joe Flacco Oakland: Darren McFadden Kansas City: Dwayne Bowe Denver: Jay Cutler San Diego: Antonio Cromartie Houston: Mario Williams Jacksonville: Maurice Jones-Drew (best RB to come out of UCLA in years) Indianapolis: Joesph Addai Tennessee: Cortland Finnegan (3 ints in 2 games this season, wow) Miami: Kendall Langford New England: Brandon Meriweather New York: Darrelle Revis Buffalo: Marshawn Lynch
Round 1: Division Brawl - only the top player survives the four way contest. Round 2: Conference Semi-Final - North VS West, and South VS East. Round 3: Conference Final - Winners advance, losers play for 3rd. Round 4: Supa Stunna Mega Bowl 2008 - The championship, crowning the top young stunna of 2008.
OMG Fitzgerald is only 25? I almost fainted. When do we get our own Fitz. Lists have a mix of vets (IMO) and some really young bucks.
If Parcells and Co. do the same for Crabtree the way they did with Keyshawn, then we'll get one. Otherwise, it took the owners to force talented guys like TO and Glenn onto Parcells teams.
Round 2: Conference Semi-Final - North VS West, and South VS East. NFC Adrian Peterson vs Larry Fitzgerald Marques Colston vs Justin Tuck AFC Joe Thomas vs Jay Culter Mario Williams vs Marshawn Lynch
