1. Kirk Cousins
   Drew Brees
2. Aaron Rodgers
   Tom Brady

At the ripe, young age of 42, Brady is preparing to enter his 20th season not only in the NFL but playing for the New England Patriots. To put that in perspective, Brady has been playing nearly as long as Patrick Mahomes has been alive.

1. Bobby Wagner
   Luke Kuechly
2. J.J. Watt
   Zach Ertz

J.J. Watt is a terror on the field when he's not injured, but off the field, he's quite the humanitarian, helping to raise more than $40 million for Hurricane Harvey victims in and around Houston.

1. A.J. Green
   Julio Jones
2. Mike Evans
   Demaryius Thomas

Julio Jones played college ball at the University of Alabama before being drafted by the Falcons in the first round in 2011. Jones accounted for nearly 1,700 receiving yards in the 2018 season.

1. Joe Mixon
   Saquon Barkley
2. Lamar Miller
   Theo Riddick

Fresh off a sensational season at Penn State, Saquon Barkley charged out of the gates to "Offensive Rookie of the Year" honors for his output of 1,307 yards in his freshman NFL season.

1. Carlos Hyde
   C.J. Anderson
2. Adrian Peterson
   Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott wants more money; Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn't want to give him more money. Thus, the two are at an impasse, at least in the pre-season. Jones further fanned the flames when he offered a comment, "Zeke who?" to the media after an impressive showing by the Cowboys' new rookie running back. To be continued ...

1. Andrew Luck
   Eli Manning
2. Matthew Stafford
   Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers has been at the helm of the Green Bay Packers franchise since he was taken in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He's had his ups and downs, but no one can dispute his athletic prowess.

1. Odell Beckham Jr.
   Michael Thomas
2. Davante Adams
   Sterling Shepard

After a rocky relationship with the Giants over the past few seasons, Odell Beckham Jr. has found a new home in Cleveland alongside his former college buddy, Jarvis Landry. Whether he can dial back the drama remains to be seen.

1. Tyrod Taylor
   Eli Manning
2. Ryan Tannehill
   Case Keenum

The Manning name goes a long way in the NFL. Father, Archie, played quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and brother, Peyton, played in both Indianapolis and Denver. Eli and Peyton both have two Super Bowl rings apiece.

1. Andrew Luck
   Mitch Trubisky
2. Josh McCown
   Tom Brady

Luck hasn't always been on Andrew Luck's side in the injury department. A shoulder injury hampered his play for multiple seasons before he returned to the field in 2018. Now, another mysterious injury has popped up, sidelining the former Stanford QB for the Colts' pre-season activities.

1. Jared Goff
   Kirk Cousins
2. Alex Smith
   Sam Bradford

Jared Goff was a fairly young 24 years old when he started as quarterback for the Rams in Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots. It was an interesting storyline for sure, with the oldest Q.B. across the field in Tom Brady.

1. Jarrett Stidham
   Kyler Murray
2. Jared Goff
   Baker Mayfield

Big things are expected of Baker Mayfield in the 2019 season, especially with the roster moves the Cleveland Browns made in the off-season. In his rookie season, Mayfield helped the Browns snap their 635-day winless streak.

1. Andrew Luck
   Joe Flacco
2. Philip Rivers
   Russell Wilson

When the Giants drafted Rivers and the Chargers drafted Manning in 2004, the two teams agreed to do a switch-a-roo, each sending their first-round picks to the opposite teams. This might have had something to do with the temper tantrum Manning threw, refusing to ever play for the Chargers. Ouch.

1. Artie Burns
   Mason Rudolph
2. JuJu Smith-Schuster
   James Conner

JuJu Smith-Schuster is primed to be QB Ben Roethlisberger's No. 1 target this season after the departure of superstar Antonio Brown. Smith-Schuster accounted for more than 1,400 receiving yards in his sophomore season in 2018.

1. Michael Bennett
   Khalil Mack
2. Trey Flowers
   Patrick Peterson

Khalil Mack became a household name overnight when he was — shockingly — traded away from the Raiders to the Bears by new head coach Jon Gruden. Since then, Mack has been a defensive juggernaut, tormenting opposing quarterbacks.

1. Cam Newton
   Robert Griffin III
2. Russell Wilson
   Marcus Mariota

Russell Wilson and hip-hop and R&B singer/dancer Ciara tied the knot in July 2016, and they've been the very picture of the happy couple ever since. In April, Wilson signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with his team, the Seattle Seahawks.

1. Dont'a Hightower
   K.J. Wright
2. Thomas Davis
   Luke Kuechly

At the conclusion of the 2018 season, Luke Kuechly was the only active defensive player in the NFL to have been awarded All-Pro honors five years running. He received the nod in each season from 2013 to 2018. At just 28 years old, he still has a lot of gas in the tank!

1. Drew Brees
   Matt Ryan
2. Joe Flacco
   Andy Dalton

At 40 years old and still playing, Drew Brees has claimed a plethora of records — and may have a few more in him yet. He is the current record-holder for career pass completions, passing yards and completion percentage.

1. Travis Benjamin
   Alshon Jeffery
2. Tyler Lockett
   Larry Fitzgerald

We've got to give it to Larry Fitzgerald. He's been in the league, with the Cardinals, since 2004. In that time, he has earned 11 Pro Bowl nods and has played for roughly two dozen quarterbacks. Shew.

1. Jordy Nelson
   Chris Hogan
2. Cole Beasley
   Julian Edelman

He may only be 5'10", but former Kent State quarterback Julian Edelman makes his presence known for the New England Patriots. Nicknamed "The Squirrel," Edelman earned the moniker for a sideline quote he once uttered to teammates about not letting him "get squirrely out there."

1. Dion Lewis
   Derrick Henry
2. Marcus Mariota
   Delanie Walker

A former standout at the University of Alabama, Derrick Henry now rushes for the Tennessee Titans. He holds the franchise record for the most rushing yards in a game at 238 and the most rushing yards in consecutive games at 408.

1. DeSean Jackson
   Amari Cooper
2. A.J. Green
   Isaiah Avery

Amari Cooper might have found his niche. After a surprising trade away from the Raiders by new coach Jon Gruden, Cooper seems to have adapted nicely in Dallas. He accounted for more than 700 yards in just half a season.

1. Jordan Reed
   Zach Ertz
2. Travis Kelce
   Jordy Nelson

Travis Kelce may want to give Patrick Mahomes a "thank you" card for his 1,336-yard season — his highest to date. Kelce has been named to the Pro Bowl four times in his six-season NFL career.

1. Matt Stafford
   Matt Barkley
2. Matt Ryan
   Matt Prater

The Atlanta Falcons' Matt Ryan owns that "Matty Ice" nickname. Some reports have the moniker dating back to his charter school days. Everyone agrees his calm, cool demeanor warrants the icy name.

1. Sony Michel
   Aaron Donald
2. Todd Gurley
   Dion Lewis

After a season plagued by injury, members of the Rams organization assured fans prior to the Super Bowl that Gurley was ready to go. Except, he wasn't. He had only 35 yards in the Rams' 13-3 loss. Fans later learned that Gurley suffers from arthritis in his left knee.

1. Stephon Tuitt
   Von Miller
2. Cameron Heyward
   Leonard Williams

It was Von Miller who hoisted the Super Bowl MVP trophy following the Broncos' win over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50. It was also the only Super Bowl to forgo using Roman numerals (which would've made it Super Bowl L).

1. Cam Newton
   Ben Roethlisberger
2. Aaron Rodgers
   Ryan Fitzpatrick

In one swift motion, Cam Newton moves his hands to his chest and pretends as though he's ripping back his shirt, an ode to Superman's wardrobe change from his Clark Kent alter ego. In recent interviews, Newton has said he's going to shed his "Superman" comparisons in the upcoming season.

1. T.Y. Hilton
   Adam Thielen
2. Marquise Goodwin
   Tavon Austin

Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings is this record holder. Thielen had at least 100 yards in each of the 2018's season's first eight games, breaking the record for most consecutive 100-yard games to start a season in NFL history.

1. Jameis Winston
   Marcus Mariota
2. Tom Brady
   Josh Allen

Marcus Mariota probably won't forget his first playoff touchdown pass anytime soon. After his pass was deflected, the ball landed back in Mariota's arms and he ran it into the end zone for a touchdown — officially a pass in the record books.

1. Mike Evans
   Dede Westbrook
2. Marvin Jones
   Nelson Agholor

Mike Evans has quietly been putting away the 1,000-yard seasons. In each season he has been with the Bucs, the team that drafted him in 2014, he's notched more than 1,000 receiving yards.

1. Fletcher Cox
   Alvin Kamara
2. Earl Thomas
   Mark Ingram Jr.

Alvin Kamara lights up the New Orleans Saints backfield. In his rookie season in 2017, he split running back duties with Mark Ingram, notching nearly 800 rushing yards. In 2018, his production increased. 2019 looks to be more of the same.

1. Zach Ertz
   Travis Kelce
2. Carson Wentz
   Greg Olsen

Call Zach Ertz a Super Bowl champion. His go-ahead touchdown during the bout with the New England Patriots sealed the Eagles' first-ever Super Bowl victory. Ertz also has two Pro Bowl nominations to his credit.

1. Michael Thomas
   Larry Fitzgerald
2. DeSean Jackson
   Golden Tate

Michael Thomas earned his five-year, $100-million deal signed during the 2019 off-season. His 321 receptions are a league-high for players in their first three seasons in the NFL.

1. Carson Wentz
   Nick Foles
2. Philip Rivers
   Aaron Rodgers

Carson Wentz was the Eagles' starter in the 2017 season before an ACL injury sidelined him just weeks before the playoffs started. A little-known back-up named Nick Foles managed to stand in the gap and lead the Eagles on a historic run to a world title.

1. Golden Tate
   Deshaun Watson
2. Lamar Miller
   DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre Hopkins has been on the Houston Texans' roster since 2013 when he was drafted with the 27th overall pick in the NFL Draft. In 2018, he lodged his most productive season yet with 1,572 receiving yards.

1. Richard Sherman
   Aqib Talib
2. Jalen Ramsey
   Stephon Gilmore

Jalen Ramsey plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars, so you might say he's the "mouth of the (AFC) south." He has gained notoriety in the NFL for trash-talking the receivers he covers and issuing what he calls "facts" about other players and teams in the league.

1. Patrick Mahomes
   Aaron Donald
2. Tom Brady
   Carson Wentz

The Kansas City Chiefs may have fallen short of a Super Bowl in 2018, but their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, took home plenty of hardware, including MVP and "Offensive Player of the Year."

1. Amari Cooper
   Martavis Bryant
2. Antonio Brown
   Malcolm Mitchell

Oh, Antonio. The issues that plagued you in Pittsburgh seem to have followed you to your new team in Oakland. From arguments over which helmet to wear to not wearing any protective gear on his feet during cryotherapy, this wide receiver is never far from the spotlight ... good or bad.

1. Tyrann Mathieu
   Patrick Mahomes
2. Dee Ford
   Sammy Watkins

Maybe it was that offsides penalty that some think cost the Chiefs the AFC Championship Game, or maybe it was something else. Regardless, Ford will be wearing a new shade of red when the 2019 season starts.

1. Larry Fitzgerald
   David Johnson
2. Patrick Peterson
   Chandler Jones

It all went down in 2011. The Cardinals and the Rams were knotted at 13-13. Patrick Peterson, one of the team's cornerbacks, ripped off a 99-yard punt return for a touchdown to seal the victory for the Cards.

1. David Johnson
   Josh Rosen
2. Terrell Suggs
   Christian Kirk

After a 15-year career with the Baltimore Ravens, Terrell Suggs will spend the 2019 season with the Arizona Cardinals. Suggs played high school ball in Chandler and attended Arizona State University. Homecoming!
