2. Seattle Seahawks’ Percy Harvin

Harvin is a headache for defensive coordinators — and himself. The hybrid player gets migraines and injuries galore, so he has trouble staying on the field. When he’s present, you know it. The Seahawks make sure to use him in every creative way possible. He’s running jet sweeps like a it’s no sweat. Paterson and Harvin are making that play once of the most indefensible in football. Harvin has developed into a wicked route runner, and he often leaves defensive backs dusted with broken ankles.

In three of Harvin’s first four years in the league, he had a touchdown rushing, receiving and returning. His rookie year, he failed to score a rushing touchdown but managed to make up for it with eight combined touchdowns receiving and returning.

He changed the complexion of the Super Bowl last year, and was in consideration for the MVP. The guy is unstoppable, because there’s no one quite like him. And in turn, no one can matchup up with him on defense.
