NFL 2017: 10 players with the most to prove
4. Odell Beckham Jr.
Believe it or not, the New York Giants have a legitimate championship window that should be about three or four years. As long as Beckham is healthy, engaged and focused then don’t be shocked if the Giants are making a deep playoff run again next season. However, the biggest thing most people wanted to talk about regarding Beckham is his on-field antics and the infamous trip to Miami before their playoff game against the Packers.
All of it is silly for the most part but the big thing is that the Giants do have that championship window for three to four years and he’s a very important part of it. As long as he stays levelheaded and productive, I expected big things out of Beckham in 2017.
3. Andrew Luck
Luck had a terrible 2016, which is pretty amazing to say because it was 10 times better than what happened in his 2015. Luck is going to have one of the first big changes in his career. Ryan Grigson is no longer the general manager of the Colts so that has a ripple effect that starts with Luck. The lack of a running game and offensive line became Luck’s downfall over the past few seasons . Suddenly, the Luck we thought was bound for playoff runs and Super Bowls is now battered and beaten up. Could his championship window be closing soon?
Luck’s division isn’t lights out and his best years are being wasted. The contract he received before the 2016 season has him linked with the Indy for a very long time.
