POSTED BY CSQUEEZE IN GENERAL
This list doesn't compile the best or the most talented players, simply a list of players on each team that are simply electrifying to watch.
NFC - East
Dallas Cowboys
Terrell Owens - WR
Even with the exciting rookie RB Felix Jones on the roster, all eyes are still on T.O. ... as long as the chemistry with Romo sticks.
New York Giants
Plaxico Burress - WR
This 6'5" beast helped propel his team into the Super Bowl last year while being nowhere near 100%. If he stays healthy he is one of the best WR's in the league.
Philadelphia Eagles
DeSean Jackson - WR/Special Teams
Jerry Rice on the rookie WR Jackson - "he is the fastest I have ever seen". Now DeSean, just make sure you hold onto the ball before crossing the endzone.
Washington Redskins
Santana Moss - WR
This 5'10" receiver is one of the quickest players on the field and can rack up serious yards after the catch.
AFC - East
Buffalo Bills
Roscoe Parrish - WR/Special Teams
Arguably the best return man in the AFC, Parrish already has a highlight reel touchdown return this year.
Miami Dolphins
Ted Ginn Jr. - WR/Special Teams
This 2nd year WR has talent and may be the only bright spot on the Dolphins. Ginn returned one punt for a touchdown last year and broke two 40+ yard kick returns.
New England Patriots
Randy Moss - WR
Now that Tom Brady is out Moss's numbers will go down, but still expect highlight real plays from him all-season long.
New York Jets
Brett Favre - QB
The always fun to watch Favre can entertain by throwing tons of TD's or by tossing loads of interceptions.
NFC North
Chicago Bears
Devin Hester - WR/Special Teams
Anytime Hester touches the ball he is a threat to score, the best return man in the NFC hands down.
Detroit Lions
Calvin Johnson - WR
Nicknamed "Megatron" by his fellow WR Roy Williams, Johnson has an insane vertical leap, blazing speed, and is just finally coming into his own in the NFL after one of the most distinguished college careers by a WR.
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers - QB
Brett Who? In his first year starting Rodgers is showing great promise and experience beyond his years. The fate of the Packers now rests on him.
Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson - RB
Peterson tore up the NFL in his rookie season, breaking single game rushing records and making veterans look like n00bs. When healthy, he could be the most exciting RB in the league.
AFC South
Houston Texans
Andre Johnson - WR
Johnson is always a deep treat and can go up over any DB to catch a TD. One of the faster WR's in the league.
Indianapolis Colts
Bob Sanders - SS
While only 5'8" & just over 200 lbs. Sanders plays like he is 6'2" Linebacker and hits as hard as anyone in the NFL.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Maurice Jones Drew - RB/Special Teams
While he is short, he isn't small and he turns into a low-flying canonball once he gets moving.
Tennessee Titans
Chris Johnson - RB
This rookie is the real deal and fits perfectly into the Tenessee Titans offense. Watch for big things from him this year.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons
Michael Turner - RB
Finally out of the Ladainian Tomlinson shadow, this 5'10" 244 pound RB is an animal and already netted 220 rushing yards in his first game.
Carolina Panthers
Steve Smith - WR
When he isn't fighting his teammates, Smith is out making big time plays. Now that his favorite QB is back, watch for him to have a great season..
New Orleans Saints
Reggie Bush - RB/Special Teams
Hasn't been the dominant NFL force he was pegged to be yet, but he can make astounding plays when he gets the ball.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Joey Galloway - WR
This speedy receiver is one of the only entertaining people to watch on this defensive oriented team.
AFC - West
Denver Broncos
Champ Bailey - DB
The most feared cover-man in the NFL can shut down a WR completely, or change a game if tested.
Kansas City Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe - WR
The Chiefs don't have too many bright spots this year, but this 2nd year reciever can go up and get a ball .. no matter how poorly the Chiefs Quarterback threw it.
Oakland Raiders
Darren McFadden - RB
While McFadden was supposed to start with a decreased workload, he has already ran over 200 yards and let loose some big time moves. Just hold onto the ball Darren, and we should see a lot more good stuff from you.
San Diego Chargers
Darren Sproles - RB/Special Teams
LT is the face of this team, but the 5'6" Sproles is a multi-faceted threat and can score on almost any play.
NFC - West
Arizona Cardinals
Anquan Boldin - WR
While Larry Fitzgerald can outleap defenders, Boldin can break tackles and turn 5 yard passes into 50 yard gains. Possibly the best WR once he catches the ball.
San Francisco 49ers
Frank Gore - RB
It may be yet another rebuilding year for the 49ers, but Mike Martz *gasp* is actually going to make this dynamic back the center of attention in the offense.
Seattle Seahawks
Walter Jones - OL
It's pretty bad when the most exciting player on your team is an offensive tackle but the way that Jones can flatten defensive ends is amazing.
St. Louis Rams
Steven Jackson - RB
Another lackluster team has at least one star that is a beast that can take (and give) a shot like no one else out there. Too bad the Rams have a pathetic offense around him.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
Ray Lewis - LB
While he is up there in age, Ray is still the player that is the most fun to watch on the rebuilding Ravens. Even if he isn't making a sack or hauling down a RB, he may just entertain you with his 'alleged' off field shenanigans.
Cincinnati Bengals
Chad Ocho Cinco - WR
Call him Chad Ocho Cinco or call him Chad Johnson. Just get him the ball and watch him go. Consistently a top yardage gainer in the NFL and always has a good celebration once in the endzone.
Cleveland Browns
Braylon Edwards - WR
While off to a slow start this year, this former Michigan stud can straight up make plays. Derek Anderson just needs to get him the ball.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Troy Polamalu - SS
His signature hair makes him easy to spot flying across the field tackling anything in his way.
