Now a week following the highly anticipated unveiling of the 2010 NFL Draft, teams are filling up their rosters and depth charts, trying to make any necessary upgrades, and attempting to sign potential superstars in the making.
In honor of the recent trades, controversy, Pro Bowl visits, and general fun in breaking down power rankings, I’ve put together a short list of power ranking the AFC South quarterbacks.
4. Vince Young (Titans)
Since his final opportunity to steal the sensational victory in comeback fashion over the USC Trojans in the 2005 BCS National Championship to his last chance to play as a starter in the NFL, Vince Young has had quite a controversial experience over the last [...]

After all of the mock draft predictions, controversy, and countless surprises, the 2010 NFL Draft has come to a screeching halt.
But now the predictions, speculation, and signings to fill the rosters begin as die-hard football fans swarm to the latest news and information on their designated teams.
In review of all the action that took place during the prolong three day draft event, I have put together a list of two winners, two losers, and two teams that fell somewhere in between in the AFC conference.

After finishing with their first winning season in team history, the Houston Texans look to be on the rise and become a tough contender to make a run at the playoffs for the upcoming season.
Albeit the Texans have been quiet in the offseason, they gave head coach Gary Kubiak a vote of confidence, extending his contract through the 2012 season, creating stability which is imperative to be a serious contender.
Offseason Player Transactions
The Texans tendered a contract to linebacker sensation Demeco Ryans, who though had a down season, is part of one of the greatest linebacker tandems in league history and it’s only expected to improve with experience in fellow teammates Xavier Adibi, Zac Diles, and Brian Cushing.
On the offensive side, the Texans [...]

"Houston Texans" will be the answer to the most frequently asked NFL question this summer. This is the team that everyone will pick to break out in 2009. This is "The Sleeper". You're going to hear about this team during all those sponsored television segments where football experts dilute their credibility by issuing opinionated 15-second soundbits.

According to Clark Judge of Cbssports.com, Rex Grossman is one of the the top ten backup quarterbacks in the NFL.
This is what Judge had to say:
“I wasn’t sold on him as Chicago’s starter, either, but a couple of things here: 1) He was good enough to make it to the Super Bowl, and 2) he’s not a starter anymore. Granted, the Bears’ defense launched them to Super Bowl XLI, not Grossman, but he had to play a role … and he did, performing so well he was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Month in September. Grossman [...]
