Quarterback

Winner: Michael Vick

Although Michael Vick may not technically be in the NFL at this time, there is no denying Vick’s skill set.  Never before has the NFL seen a more dynamic QB than Michael Vick on the run.  Vick would take over the QB position which in the wildcat offense is typically played by a RB. However, with Michael Vick’s 4.4 speed and his top notch acceleration and agility, combined with his ability to throw the football, makes him a much more dangerous threat in the wildcat QB slot.

Runner Up: Seneca Wallace

Seneca is a close second, but does not possess as much pure running talent as Michael Vick does.

Troy Smith

Pat White

Vince Young

Running Back

Winner: Ronnie Brown

Ronnie Brown is an athletic freak, he combines his 230 pound frame with sub 4.4 speed into one unbelievable athlete.  Brown showed last season while running the wildcat that he possess the necessary vision to fulfill this role. Brown also possesses the ability to cut loose and throw the football down field, which is important when filling the slot of the RB in a wildcat offense. Brown is a tenacious runner once he gets a full head of steam and at this position in the wildcat, he will receive the ball with a running head start. Our advice to oncoming defenders…goodluck

Runner Up: Ladainian Tomlinson

This was a tough call, as there were 3-4 RB who would really make great wildcat RB’s however, due to Tomlinson’s 5 star caliber talent, and his ability to throw the football, he assumes the role of runner up.

Darren McFadden

Michael Bush

Reggie Bush

Adrian Peterson

Wide Receiver

(2) Winner: Larry Fitzgerald and Brad Smith

Most people reading this are probably saying to themselves “Brad Smith!?!?” but we believe he is the best option to have as the secondary receiver in the wildcat offense.  This is because the secondary receiver in a wildcat offense is a very versatile position, he may run routes, comes around for a reverse, or take a pitch and throw the ball down field. In college, Brad Smith was the first Division 1-A player to pass for 8,000 yards and run for 4,000 yards in his career. All these skills combined are why Brad Smith becomes the best choice.

(2) Runner Up: Calvin Johnson and Antwaan Randle El

Matt Jones

Hines Ward

Joshua Cribbs

Devin Hester

Tight End

(2) Winner: Kellen Winslow and Antonio Gates

(2) Runner Up: Chris Cooley and Tony Gonzalez

Offensive Line

Winner(s): Jason Peters, Joe Thomas, Jake Long, Alex Brown, Jeff Saturday

1.) Devin Hester - For many obvious reasons this Superstar Kick Returner is the best in the business. Hester isn’t the fastest man in the league, but Hester’s acceleration, vision, and cutting ability is what sets him apart from the rest of the league. Hester holds the record for Most touchdown returns in a season(6), Most Touchdown Kick and Punt returns in a season(6), Most touchdown returns as a rookie(6), Most touchdown returns in one game (2). Hester also held the Longest Play in NFL History that he shared with Nathan Vasher until Antonio Cromartie took it. Hester was recently rewarded with a fresh contract for $30 million with $15 million guaranteed. In Hester’s contract, he has incentives for $10 million roster bonus if he reaches the level of a #1 receiver.

2.) Reggie Bush -Reggie Bush became a phenom at USC with his own personal highlight real in each game. Reggie Bush recorded 100 catches in a season as a running back in New Orleans. Bush has a Barry Sanders-Like stopping ability that allows him to change directions effortlessly. Reports have Bush recording a 4.33 40 time.

3.) Antonio Cromartie – Cromartie is a record holder with the Longest Play in NFL History of 109 yards. This is the only record in the NFL that can, and never will be broken. Cromartie recorded a franchise-record 10 interceptions in 2007. Cromartie has a combination of size and speed that allows him to jump, cover, tackle, and dominate other players.

4.) Joshua Cribbs - The undrafted return man in Cleveland has made a name for himself on the opposing team’s scouting report. Cribbs has made it his job making people miss on punt/kick returns in 2007. Cribbs has the ability to make one cut and the next thing you know the opposing team is chasing behind him.

5.) Vince Young – Vince is 6′5 233. Unbelievably big, unbelievably fast, and unbelivably strong… Young has deceivingly fast speed due to his long stride. He is another open field runner that has the ability to just straight out run past you.

6.) Randy Moss – Randy Moss is a freak of an athlete… Reports are that Moss recorded a 4.25 40 Yard Dash, and rumors of a 4.13 40 in High School. Moss has an unbelievable jumping ability that allows him to “Moss” his defenders by jumping over them and pulling the ball out of the air. Highlights of Moss will prove to you that he is a top NFL athlete. Randy Moss holds records of most TD receptions as a rookie(17), and single season TD record(23).

7.) Michael Vick - Well this one would be easy… He isn’t exactly an NFL player at the moment, BUT I thought he deserves some recognition for his athleticism.Vick’s skills on the field come from him being a deadly threat in the open field. He has the shifty ability to avoid a crowd of tacklers, and the acceleration to burst through tight openings. Vick became the first ever quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, Vick also set the record for most Yards per Carry(8.4), Vick has a number of more records for 2 rushing tandem’s of QB and RB. He is a different breed of quarterback never before seen…

A new weekly story I will be blogging every week is Bleeping Idiot of the Week, choosing the one person each week I feel that just not up-to-par in the sports world.

This week’s Bleeping Idiot is Marcus Vick, no not Michael Vick, his younger delinquent brother and the other former Virginia Tech Quarterback who has had a few run-ins with the law and problems in life. Marcus also had a temporary career with the Miami Dolphins in 2007. Police reports say a bicycle patrol officer(aka Lance Armstrong cop) saw Vick and a female involved in an altercation in a car around 2 a.m. The officer confronted them and offered assistance, then asked Vick for his driver’s license. Police say Vick then sped away, but was stopped minutes later. Vick was charged with DUI, misdemeanor avoiding police, reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road, and driving a suspended license. C’mon, call a cab next time with some of that dog betting money and save yourself from another headline on every major sports network.

This kid has to get his life together, I don’t understand why he is not doing what he’s best at(besides getting in trouble) playing football. It makes me wonder why guy’s like him aren’t playing in Canada or in the Arena league. Do they think they are to good for it? Or is he just having to much fun driving around drunk at 2 a.m. Below is a timeline with Marcus’s troubles on and off the field at VT, he also was charged with waving a gun at 3 teenagers in a McDonald’s parking lot during an altercation.

The first thing I thought when I read about this incident, is that I feel terrible for his mother Ms. Vick. Her two children had all the potential in the world to succeed in life, a great education and they were two of the best athletes in the nation. I guess they just grew up with the wrong crowd and got involved with the wrong types of people. I completely understand that they are human’s too, and everyone makes mistakes, but there has to be a point where he realizes its time to grow up…

Marcus get your life together…
