NFL: C.J. Mosley, Top Five Rising Stars
By Evan Massey
Who are the top five rising NFL stars so far throughout the 2014 season?
The NFL season is over half way over, and the playoffs are beginning to loom over everyone currently in contention. There is no better time in the football season than the late play as teams fight for their playoff hopes. That time of year is upon us, and there will be very close finishes and a lot of heart being left on the field.
It has been a great season to this point of the year, and we have seen players and teams step up that no one expected to come through with a big season. There are teams like the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills that no one expected to be in playoff contention, but they are very much in the conversation right now. That being said, there are quite a few teams in contention right now that won’t make the playoffs, and finishing the year strong is just as important as starting it strong.
That being said, there are also a lot of young players that have come through with big seasons and shown star potential moving forward. There are a couple of rookies that have stepped up and made big impacts, but there are also other players that have simply begun playing to their full potential.
Which five NFL players have been showing rising star potential so far throughout this season, and how do they rank?
