Good point. All of these guys have a story to tell.
I like underdog stories to begin with, and will find it easy to root for guys who have the deep-seated will to get it done.
Another, with a messed-up leg last year who should be ready-to-go this year is RB Williams. Only weighs 195 (maybe more, now) but plays 210. Akers weighs 215 (same as Beastmode, Marshawn Lynch) but plays 195.
I'd like to see Williams break out, along with seeing WR McCutcheon develop into a solid 3rd or 4th wideout.
And there's an edge on the bench from last year who brings a ton of personal motivation and just might turn into a good situational player for us this year: Hardy.
We tend to forget these developmental players with their potential during draft days.
