Young Guns in the NFL
Plenty of research can be carried out during the NFL off-season, and one of the most fulfilling activities is to study the depth charts of all the 32 teams. Perusing those charts, this week, brought home how much young talent there is within the NFL, and that is before you even start to look at the draft of 2012.
So, confining our look to players who have already made a start in the NFL, who are those that we think can go on and have a Hall Of fame career?
Wide receiver is a position where the NFL is loaded with talent, and several youngsters have certainly taken the eye in that spot, but none more so than the Bengals A.J. Green. He is undoubtedly the best of the bunch, as things stand.
An ideal size for the modern receiver, he has the speed to go deep plus plenty of quick moves to free himself for short routes; most importantly he can come inside and catch the ball over the middle, displaying admirable toughness.
He finished his rookie campaign with 65 catches for 1,057 yards and seven TDs, and we would be looking for all of those numbers to rise significantly in his second season.
No feature on young players would be complete without a mention of the Patriots tight-end, Rob Gronkowski, only 23, and in just his second season in the league, he could lay claim to the title at being the best in his position in the NFL.
An ominous target for Tom Brady, especially on third down, where he can be a real go-to-guy, he is also one to look out for in the red-zone. His giant frame is a huge advantage but, to go with his size, he also has speed and agility.
He hauled in 90 balls for 1,327 yards and 17 TDs (a record for tight ends); he also had multiple TDs in seven different regular season games. Gronkowski is a popular pick with fans making online bets on the NFL.
So far, we have taken a look at two offensive players and, although sometimes defensive players take longer to develop and make an impact, two young men really made an impact, last year. One of them already has a Super Bowl ring to his name, and it would not surprise us if the other achieved that feat in his career.
The two that we speak of are Jason Pierre-Paul and Von Miller. The latter player didn’t waste any time fitting into the Broncos defence, and proved not only to be a very effective pass-rusher, finishing with 11.5 sacks, but he can also use his agility and speed to drop into coverage.
Pierre-Paul had a dominating season that resulted in 86 tackles and 16.5 sacks, and he did all of this damage despite only starting 12 of the 16 regular-season games. On several occasions he proved what a dominating presence he is, and we can see him being a driving force in the NFL for many years to come.

Mancini already looking for more glory
The champagne has just settled and Roberto Mancini can rest back satisfied having led Manchester City to the Premier League title, but the Italian manager is already plotting for more success in the coming years.
The Citizens secured their first league title for 44 years in the most dramatic of circumstances, as Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero both scored injury time goals to bring the Premier League title to the Etihad.
What made the victory even sweeter was the fact they beat their city rivals Manchester United to the title, after lagging eight points behind their neighbours only weeks before.
Mancini, who led City to their first trophy for 35 years last season when they won the FA Cup, will now go down in the club folklore for bringing the Premier League title and is likely to have more funds to further strengthen the multi-million pound squad during the summer.
The current premier league betting with www.betvictor.com already has them as favourites to retain their title, with many tipping City to dominate over the coming years.
Mancini admits he is not satisfied with just one Premier League title, with further trophies definitely on the Italian manager’s mind.
“We are happy because we won this trophy after 44 years,” the Italian said. “We changed the history of this club by beating a strong team like United.
“Now I hope we can continue to win.”
City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak told the club website he was impressed with how Mancini led the team to fight back and win the title. He admits the manager is a “winner” who he will back to win more trophies for City – which must be music to the ears of fans.
Indeed the champions league betting from www.betvictor.com already suggests punters believe they can launch a sustained assault on Europe’s premier competition next season.
