Next Big Name in NFL Offense and Defense?

Offense- From what I have seen from Michael Turner this year, he might be a breakout player and a top back in this league

Defense- Mario Williams is blowing my mind. He seems to get sacks in every game, and I think he looks alot like Strahan.

Offense : I see at least 5 RBs from this years rookie class making at least one pro bowl. McFadden, Forte, Johnson, Stewert, Slaton... If Brandon Marshall isn't counted as a big name, then he is the next one. That guy is a beast. Ditto for Michael Turner.

Defense : Jon Beason, LB Carolina. He was a rookie last year, as was Patrick Willis, but no one looked at Beason because everyone looked at Willis. Beason set a franchise tackle record as a rookie last year, and is on pace to break it again this year. I would say Patrick Willis, but he is already a star, and viewed as a top 5 LB in the league.

Atlanta Falcons. Why? Let's look. You got the Saints coming back healthy next season. Drew Brees is a beast. Reggie Bush and the Deuce are going to be in the backfield. Not to mention that guy named Jeremy Shockey. He's sure to rebound next season. Last year, the Saints lost a few games by a few points. But I think that will change next season. Next, you got the Panthers who have the best one two punch in the league in Double Trouble (DeAngelo Williams and Johnathan Stewart). Combine that with Steve Smith and you've got a great team. Plus, Delhomme is back. Finally, the Tampa Bay Bucs, a hard nose, punch you in the face team led by Garcia. This team should be a bit more loose under a new head coach and eager to play for a new face. Despite being old, this team is still managing to be their in the end year in and year out. In addition to these facts, Matt Ryan will be entering his second year, which is the hardest for all QBs (a la Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Jay Cutler, Eli Manning, Big Ben). Plus, Defenses will realize Ryan's tendencies and exploit. So... The Falcons are a good team, but could be heading right back down in the dog house.

Let's mix it up a little, be side from the obvious, I think Trent Edwards is turning into the next great QB, I also think Josh Morgan will be a star, he was great in college and preseason until he got sick and lost 15 pounds. I do agree with Holmes and I think Chris Johnson will be the next Brian Westbrook.

Defensively I think Gaines Adams is turning into a star and Cortland Finnegan and Donte Whitner are also headed in that direction. I do think Willis will be a star, but don't forget Jon Beason he is a beast.

Patrick Willis and Chris Johnson or Forte

I could see Johnson and Forte being the best in the league in just a couple years.

Edit: Age makes a good point about Williams he has been crazy. Michael Griffin and Cortland Finnegan as well.

Steve Slaton for Offense. I agree with your defensive player Patrick Willis is a beast.

Offense - Brandon Marshall is the future elite receiver in the NFL.

Defense - Jon Beason will be top 5 in the NFL in tackles.

I like Matt Forte/Jonathan Stewart/Darren McFadden and Desean Jackson from this year's rookie crop. 2008 draft will be remembered for the running backs that came out of it.

On defense, Justin Tuck looks like he's gonna be a dominant DE

Offense: my man Matt Forte. The entire Bears offense is built around him and a little bit of Kyle Orton.

Defense: I'm not so sure about that one but I think the Bears secondary are coming up with some big plays.

Not bad. They'll probably both be big stars.
