Five to watch in 2007/8
1) LaDainian Tomlinson (running back San Diego Chargers):
"I think he's the best player in the league. He can run, catch, block and even pass. The Chargers have complete faith in him and he delivers every time. He's a terrific talent."
2) Steven Jackson (running back St Louis Rams)
"A Pro Bowl running back and the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year. No other running back generated more yards from scrimmage last season and he should be devastating again this year."
3) Peyton Manning (quarterback Indianapolis Colts)
"The man that led the Colts to Super Bowl glory last season. His greatest asset is his preparation. He's a real student of the game who always seems one step ahead of opposition."
4) Terrell Owens (wide receiver Dallas Cowboys)
"'TO' writes his own headlines and the big ego seems happy in Dallas. He performed brilliantly for the Cowboys last season, leading the NFL in touchdown catches. Expect the same this year."
5) Ben Roethlisberger (quarterback Pittsburgh Steelers)
"Ben led the Steelers to their Super Bowl triumph in 2006, but he struggled last year after an off-season motorbike accident. He has the weapons and the receivers to do well again this year."
