Predicting the NFC’s Probowlers: Offense

The Pro Bowl in Hawaii is a game that no fan really cares to spend time watching, but fans do care which players make it. The Pro Bowl is a game that rewards all the elite players of the league with a trip to Hawaii. I am trying to predict who will make the pro bowl from the NFC side. I am analyzing the starters. Feel free to comment if you disagree or if you just want to chyme in

 

QB: Drew Brees, QB of the Saints, will likely throw for the most yards, maybe even surpassing Dan Marino’s record of most passing yards in a season. He can pick your defense apart, and make the opponent’s defensive backs look like fools. With a great receiving core and a stable of running backs, Brees should be the starting QB for the NFC.

RB: Adrian Peterson may be the best player in the entire league. He is a huge back with unusual deceptive speed. He has one of the best O-Lines to block for him, and if the Vikings make the playoffs, look for AP to win the MVP award, and possibly rush for 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns.

FB: Leonard Weaver is the best all around fullback in the league. He is a good blocker, fast and great runner, and a great receiver out of the backfield. This season, he should be rewarded for his great all-around play by making the Pro Bowl as the starting Fullback.

WR’S:Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR in the league as you saw in the playoffs. He embarassed the Falcons, Panthers, Eagles, and Steelers. He has the best hands and if there is a jump ball, everyone knows who will come down with it.

Calvin Johnson is a freak at WR. He is 6-5 and 240 pounds but runs in the low 4.3’s. No, he does not have a QB, but he did not have one last year, but he still had over 1300 yards and 12 touchdowns. Those numbers will improve.

TE: Jason WItten proved last year he was the best all-around tight end. He is a gifted pass catcher with speed and could block. With Terrel Owens gone, Tony Romo will be looking for one guy when he throws the ball. Witten could have over 1000 yards receiving this season.

TACKLES: Jason Peters, of the Philadelphia Eagles, could be the most dominant offensive lineman in the game, if he is totally concentrated on football. Last year, he wanted a contract so he did not play to his ability. With a great coaching staff and a new contract, Jason Peters should be the best offensive lineman in the game.

Shawn Andrews, also of the Eagles, will play right tackle this season. He has looked great since he has came back. With his brother playing right next to him, Andrews looks motivated to do great and show everyone why he was dominant.

GAURDS: Steve Hutchinson signed a huge contract with the Vikings, and has lived up to it. He is best guard in football because of his great pass protection and dominant run blocking.

Davin Joseph, of the Buccaneers, is very underrated. He made the Pro Bowl last year, as a 25 year old, starting the whole year for the first time. He is only going to get better.

C: Andre Gurode is the center of the Cowboys. He is a good overall center and has lived up to his potential.

Travis Shelton: Future Great NFL Returner?

Born in Florida, Travis Shelton was born fast. He is the cousin of the infamous Devin Hester, who holds several NFL records for kick returning.

He is also the cousin of Broncos linebacker, Andra Davis. Being an NFL player is in his blood.

At high school in South Florida, he was both a football player and a track runner. He placed in the top ten in almost every running category for the state.

He also returned four kicks/punts back for touchdowns in his great high school career.

His 40 speed is 4.27, an amazing time for any position.

After Travis’ high school career, he decided to enroll at Temple as his college choice. In his freshman year, he scored one touchdown, and ran in the 100m for Temple.

He was redshirted his sophomore year.

As a third-year sophomore, he set the record for longest kick return in the Owls’ modern era. He also had 311 all purpose yards vs. Northern Illinois.

He finished the year with 778 return yards and a touchdown; he was breaking out.

In 2007, his junior year, he did not have a touchdown despite his great return numbers. He also tied his career high in receptions that year, but again, did not have a touchdown.

His senior year was arguably his best. He led the NCAA in average yards per kick return, and again, tied his career reception record, 20.

Finished his career at Temple with the most career return yards in school history.

Travis was undrafted, but signed by the Broncos. After minicamp, the Broncos dropped him, only to pick him up again.

In the Broncos’ first preseason game, Shelton did not play, but was suited, as I saw No. 13 on the sidelines. He hopes to play in a couple of preseason games so he can show off his speed.

In fact, he is so fast that he even beats his cousin, Hester, at the annual family picnic. They race in the 100m, and more often than not, Travis Shelton takes all the marbles.

So, the question for everyone is: Will Travis Shelton get a chance to show off his speed as a returner in Denver?

The Broncos have a great returner already, in Eddie Royal, so what will happen to Travis?

First of all, Travis Shelton is a class act. He is one of the nicest NFL players I have known. He’s not like so many other athletes who just blow you off.

I believe that he will get his shot, and show everyone that he is one of the fastest guys around, and can return kicks. Even if it’s not with the Broncos, who knows, he may help someone with his all-purpose ability.

He did not play in the Broncos first preseason game against the 49ers, but we are hopeful he will get his chance.

In the second preseason game, he got in on five plays. He did not get the ball, but he did go in motion once (ooooo).

If you don’t believe me, believe this video.

He is number 22 on Temple in the highlight video, if you didn’t see him because he was moving so fast.

As of Monday, August 24, Travis has been cut by the Broncos in order to make room for another cornerback.
