Peterson was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Peterson is only the fifth player in NFL history to have more than 3,000 plus yards through their first two seasons. He has the vision of a Marshall Faulk, the power of an Earl Campbell, and the speed of an Eric Dickerson. He has also been compared to Walter Payton and Tony Dorsett. Prior to the start of 2009 season, analysts of both NFL Network and ESPN unanimously named Peterson the best running back in the NFL today.
	WR Randy Gene Moss 6'4" 210lbs. Randy Moss has cemented himself as one of the most dominant receivers in the league and maybe in NFL History. He was originally drafted by the Minnesota Vikings 21st overall in the 1998 NFL Draft, from Marshall University.

On April 29, 2007, Moss was traded to the New England Patriots for a fourth-round draft pick. At the end of his rookie season, Moss was named a Pro Bowl starter and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year for his rookie-record 17 touchdown receptions and the third highest receiving yardage (1,313) total. In 2009, Moss caught two touchdown passes for a total of 23, breaking the single season record of 22. Randy Moss uses his rare combination of speed and size to both outrun and outjump defenders.

	WR Calvin Johnson Jr. 6'5" 239lbs. Calvin Johnson was drafted by the Lions second overall in the 2007 NFL Draft, out of Georgia Tech. He was regarded as the best athlete to come out of the draft and was the #1 player on most draft boards. Johnson was said by ESPN to be able to be productive as a rookie, much like receiver Randy Moss was as a rookie. In a mid-February workout with speed and conditioning coach Tom Shaw, Johnson clocked a remarkable 4.33 second 40-yard dash, 10.23 second 100-meter sprint, recorded an 11-foot standing broad jump, and had a vertical leap of 43 inches. Due to injuries, Johnson finished the 2007 season with 756 yards and 5 total touchdowns. In 2008, despite the Lions' failures, Johnson finished as one of the strongest wide receivers, statistically, for the season, finishing 5th in receiving yards (1,331), 7th in receiving yards per game (83.2), and leading the league in receiving touchdowns (12). However, Johnson missed the Pro Bowl with most experts attributing the "snub" to the Lions dismal winless season. Johnson has a rare combination of size (6 ft. 5 in., 239 lb/ 196 cm, 108 kg), speed (4.35 sec 40-yard dash), strength, leaping ability (more than 45" (114 cm) vertical jump), body control and hand-eye coordination. It is often mentioned that he is also very humble and well-mannered, and did well academically at Georgia Tech.
	TE Jason Christopher Witten 6'5" 262lbs. Jason Witten is a Pro Bowl tight end from the Dallas Cowboys. He has a great feel for coverages, where the soft spots are in the secondary, how to get some separation for himself. He is dependable and solid. Witten has deceptively good speed to beat the safety or strong-side linebacker up the seam. And he is capable of controlling the area between the hashes
	TE Antonio D. Gates 6'4" 263lbs. Since 2004, only Marvin Harrison, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens have caught more touchdowns than Antonio Gates.After being told by scouts that he was too much of a “tweener” (6′4″) to make the NBA, Gates arranged a workout in front of NFL scouts. As many as 19 teams were believed to have contacted Gates about a try out. Gates chose to work out first for the San Diego Chargers. Recognizing his enormous potential, the Chargers immediately signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent. Gates uses his size to perfection, boxing out for jump balls, like he would for a rebound in basketball. He has great hands, good speed. His above average vision makes him a big threat for yards after the catch. He is one of the best red zone weapons in the NFL.
