Second-Year NFL Stars Ready to Make the Biggest Leaps

An executive in the NFL once hailed the 2013 draft as the “worst in a decade," which may have been true because of the lack of unanimously regarded elite talent at the top of the class. That doesn’t mean there weren’t a number of players who made big contributions as a rookie or showed enough promise to warrant significant playing time during their second seasons.

Some of these players were highly touted first-round picks, but others were Day 3 selections due to medical concerns, level of collegiate competition or an underappreciation of their talent.
