2010 Hot Shots

Next seasons hot shots will be as follows:

Quarterback: Joe Flacco

Flacco is no longer a rookie. He's been in the league for two years now, and shown he has what it takes to be in the postseason. The Ravens administrations drafted smart when they picked up a QB.
The first rookie to take his team passed the 1st round of the playoffs, Flacco has demonstrated that he's hungry for more. With the acquisition of Anquan Boldin, Flacco now has another excellent receiver out in the deep field making the crowd blow up. Boldin was Larry Fitz's right hand man, and now that he's #1 receiver material, its time to put him in the spotlight. He could either be the next Andre Johnson, or pull a T.O. and completely blow his career. It also doesn't hurt to have Donte Stallworth out there too.

Receiver: Steve Smith (NYG)

This guy has changed the meaning of the NFL's 'Steve Smith'.
The kings crown has moved from Carolina to New York, as this receiver is growing.
Eli Manning has the ability to find open players, and when he cant, he throws to Smith. His speed allows him to get open quickly, sometimes getting high yardage touchdowns. Other times, his quickness allows him to find open slots between corners and safeties, and get the much needed yards. Believe me, if Eli stays healthy, Smith will reign supreme.

Running Back: Chris Johnson

There is no doubt in my mind that Chris Johnson can break the 3000 yard mark. He's fast, insanely fast, he's unstoppable. The man is a machine, and there is no defense that can stop him. His quickness on the cuts, leaves defenders, in most cases linebackers and safeties, tripping over themselves. The Titans O-Line is ideal for their run game. If CJ can run any longer, LenDale White is there to trim some yards off, maybe get a TD or two.
If the Titans keep their running scheme the same, and I'm sure Jeff Fishers' job relies on it, then Johnson will give Adrian Peterson a reason to not fumble.

Tight End: Greg Olsen

With Jay Cutler now in his second season in Chi-Town, its time to step up. Make your coach happy Jay, and give him a ring. Devin Hester isn't receiver material, and Iglesias is the equivalent of Hakeem Nicks in NY, he's a last resort receiver. Olsen has proven he has what it takes. Cutler needs to throw the ball now, and with Olsen on the receiving end, things look nice. Simply put, its Cutlers last chance, before the Bears get fed up with him and let him go. They just picked up Peppers, so they dropped a penny or two, and they might need some more money in the future. Throw the ball to Olsen, score some points, keep your job, the end.

Defense: Houston Texans

As biased as this may seem, I have my reasons. They just recently picked up Brian Cushing, who's been the contributing factor to the winning season. With Mario Williams blowing up the line, Connor Barwin on backup, Antonio Smith (ARI) lighting up the other side and possibly a DT in this draft, the line is stacked. Backfield is somewhat iffy, but always comes through. Depth at corner is not an issue. Brice McCain, Glover Quinn, Antwaun Molden, Fred Bennet and Jacques Reeves gives Coack K a stack of players to choose from. Safety is somewhat an issue, but never presents a big problem in the long run. Bernard Pollard has been the salvation of the Texans backfield. His ability to play SS is uncanny. Coach Kubiak's job relies on next season defense, so believe they'll be ranked in the top 10.
