20. Green Bay Packers

49. Per usual the Green Bay Packers are barely managing to rescue their season at the last minutes. Odds are they’ll make it to the playoffs again but that doesn’t erase the fact this team still has lingering problems. One area is the tight end position. Jared Cook and Richard Rogers have formed a serviceable tandem for the moment but hardly add much explosive potential to that offensive attack. <p>Aaron Rodgers deserves only the best if he’s going to be the MVP he is. History shows he can slice defenses apart when he has a tight end who can affect coverages. O.J. Howard is just that kind of weapon. A player with a basketball body who can run with speed, catches well with his hands and runs good routes. He isn’t used very often in the run-heavy offense at Alabama, but when game plans gear his way he always makes plays.</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard . 20. player
