Randall Cobb
Offseason begins.
List a bunch of up and coming players in the league. There are the obvious players (RG3, Luck, etc.), but what about some of the lesser known players.
Here are a few who I think are up and coming:
Dennis Pitta, TE Baltimore
Paul Kruger, OLB, Baltimore
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Atlanta
Vontaze Burfict, LB, Cincinnati
I think these players (and many more) stepped up and will continue their upward trend. They played parts in their respective teams' success. I hope the Jets find a few of these guys to help improve the team.

Tim tebow. Wait does the CFL count?
Bernard Price - the ravens backup rb
bryce brown - eagles back up rb
- brown needs to stop fumbling the ball but I tell you what when I see these two guys run the ball you can not deny the talent is there. Eventually I think both of these guys will be somebody's #1 rb.
Justin blackmon - as soon as he had qb who can somewhat throw the ball he started putting up huge numbers
Mo wilk - had to do it
Going to respectfully disagree with Jacquuz. I believe he was under 3.5ypc and he is too pint size IMO to be an every down back.
LB Bobby Wagner
LB KJ Wright
RB Robert Turbin
CB Richard Sherman
He's trying to tell you every single team in the nfl passed on Burfict last year, including the Bengals. After he went undrafted, the Bengaks then took a huge chance on him and it paid off with minimal risk. The guy was a train wreck before the season started.
Way to derail the thread.
RB - Alfred "The Butler" Morris. Overshadowed by RG3.
SS - Harrison Smith.
T.Y. Hilton
Harrison Smith
Here is a homer(but accurate) pick. He's not necessarily young anymore, but Marshall Yanda may be one of, if not the best, Guards in football.
Cecil Shorts
Kroy Biermann (not really up and coming, but he had a terrific season well under the radar)
Luke Kuechly (people were saying he was the safest pick in last year's draft, and I think we saw why)
Stevie Brown
Geno Atkins (dude's a ****ing stud, but is now the NFL's worst kept secret)
Bruce Carter (was beastin' before his injury)
