Our list of one notable player for every team in the NFL continues....
#23. New Orleans Saints – Alvin Kamara, running back
Once part of the NFL's most dangerous trio, Drew Brees' retirement and Michael Thomas' uncertain future leaves Alvin Kamara as the top dog in the Saints offense. Dual-threat back Kamara is their go-to guy, with quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill scrapping for a new contract. Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2017, Kamara logged a career-best season in 2020 of 1,688 yards from scrimmage.

#24. New York Giants – Saquon Barkley, running back
Another player who is a duel-threat out of the backfield, Saquon Barkley is the player who fires the New York Giants offense. The Giants struggled to move the ball without their powerhouse runner, with Barkley coming off an ACL operation that limited him to two games in 2020. The Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018 with 1,307 rushing and 721 receiving yards, a healthy 2021 is key for Barkley.
#25. New York Jets - Zach Wilson, quarterback
As the New York Jets moved on from their latest false dawn, the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Zach Wilson, stepped into the spotlight. The Jets have not made the playoffs in 10 seasons but early signs from training camp and preseason suggest BYU product Wilson could be the man to revive the struggling franchise. Wilson can bring positive vibes back to Florham Park in 2021.
#26. Philadelphia Eagles – Fletcher Cox, defensive tackle
One of the core features of the Philadelphia Eagles in recent years is a fearsome defensive front, and the most disruptive of that group is Fletcher Cox. An eight-year Eagles veteran, Cox has been selected to the Pro Bowl six times due to the nonstop interior pressure he brings. The 30-year-old has recorded a top-five pass rusher grade for five straight years, and still has juice in the tank going into 2021.
#27. Pittsburgh Steelers – T.J. Watt, edge rusher
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been banging the drum for T.J. Watt to get paid during preseason, and the fifth-year pro finally settled on a four-year, $112m contract on Thursday to become the NFL's highest paid defensive player. Watt's numbers back up the bumper payday. In 2020 the three-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher led the NFL in sacks (15), tackles for loss (23) and quarterback hits (41).
#28. San Francisco 49ers – Nick Bosa, edge rusher
The San Francisco 49ers' 2020 NFL season was a nightmare for a number of reasons, none worse than losing second-year pass-rusher Nick Bosa to a torn ACL in Week 2. Bosa was awarded the NFL Defensive Rookie of Year prize in 2019 after claiming nine sacks and powering the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Now back fit and healthy, the 23-year-old Ohio State alumni are back for more in 2021.
#29. Seattle Seahawks – Russell Wilson, quarterback
Noises coming out of Seattle in the offseason were the relationship between star quarterback Russell Wilson and the organization were fractured. A Chicago Bears' trade offer was turned down and all parties moved forward. If there are still any issues, the Seahawks need a long-term resolution. The eight-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl 48 winner, Wilson, is the heartbeat of the franchise.
#30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Tom Brady, quarterback
Heading into year 22, what can be said about Tom Brady that hasn't been said before? An all-time NFL great at 44 years of age, who knows how many more years Brady can play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? It seems like the seven-time Super Bowl winner has no intention of walking away. Enjoy, because you never know when you could be watching the history-maker for the final time.
#31. Tennessee Titans - Derek Henry, running back
"King Henry" is the NFL's ultimate unstoppable object. A mountain of a man with explosive quickness, Henry has the ability to carry the Titans offense on his shoulders. He led the NFL in rushing yards for the last two years and was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2020 after rumbling for more than 2,000 yards. No player has ever done that in back-to-back years. Henry could be the first.
#32. Washington Football Team - Chase Young, defensive end
The Washington Football Team had a desperate need at quarterback heading into the 2020 NFL draft, but with the number two pick, they took Chase Young – because he is just that good. Young stormed to the Defensive Rookie of Year award in 2020, leading all rookies in a range of categories including sacks and forced fumbles. Expect more big things from the 22-year-old in 2021.
