5. Justin Houston

Houston, an eight-year Kansas City Chiefs veteran, has signed on with the upstart Indianapolis Colts for the 2019 season. The Colts were one of the hottest teams in the NFL towards the end of the year and Houston will bring necessary experience and a dedicated work ethic to a younger group.

The former Bulldog has 381 tackles and 78.5 sacks in his career. He has also shown the ability to drop back into coverage with 4 career interceptions but has made his money being a pass-rushing difference maker.

4. Matthew Stafford

Stafford is the longest tenured starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions since Bobby Layne from 1950-1957. He is arguably the best the franchise had ever had at the position. Stafford has 38,526 career passing yards to go along with 237 touchdowns and a 62.4 percent completion rate.

Recently, Stafford has gotten a bad wrap because of his lack of playoff and big-game appearances but he has consistently been among the best stat producers in the game. His team is improving year after year and the numbers speak for themselves. The success will come.

3. David Andrews

One of the most successful players on this list, Andrews has made multiple trips to the Super Bowl snapping the ball to and protecting legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Andrews is among the best pass protectors in the league every season and continues to rack up accolades.

At just 26 years old, Andrews will only get better.

2. A.J. Green

Green was one of the most highly decorated receivers that ever came out of Georgia. He was seen as a game breaker and has lived up to that title with spectacular catches and 63 career touchdowns. Green amassed 8,907 receiving yards on struggling Cincinnati Bengals teams and is nowhere near finished.

Green has played eight professional seasons and has six 1,000 yards receiving campaigns, quite an accomplishment for a receiver.

1. Todd Gurley II

Gurley II has played four NFL seasons and accrued 4,547 rushing yards. Only one of his first four years has not been over 1,000 yards on the ground. Gurley II has 46 career touchdowns in 58 games with a Super Bowl appearance with the Los Angeles Rams.

As an extremely successful and dynamic running back, Gurley II is very young and still improving. Coming off an injury-plagued postseason, he will look to bounce back in a big way going into the 2019 season. Not to mention, he is a fantasy football stud…

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
