5. Ground Chuck

When you are compared incessantly to one of the greats and people are always saying your ceiling is so high, it can weigh on your psyche. Couple that with nagging injuries and it makes for a long and arduous journey for a pitcher in the Major Leagues. Charlie Morton has been compared to Roy Halladay his whole career and he has dealt with every type of pitching injury you could imagine. His dedication to the sport and his drive to reach his potential never wavered though, and on Saturday it was all rewarded with a spot as the starting pitcher of an ALCS Game 7. Ground Chuck was dealing and for 5 innings, he found out that any physical or mental anguish he’s dealt with from Pittsburgh to Atlanta and to Houston was all worth it. Charlie Morton proved he is a winner.

4. (Sort Of) Healthy Derrius Guice

Coach O said Guice was as healthy as he has been in awhile and on Saturday night #5 showed that to be true as he carved up the Ole Miss defense. While the Rebels run D is suspect at best, the fact that Guice was able to get extra yardage and make some highlight reel plays shows that he is ready to do what LSU needs him to do. Since he has indeed been less than even 80% Guice hasn’t really looked like himself. With two weeks to rest up, Guice should be at his sickest for the Alabama game.

3. Andrus Peat

It is is truly remarkable what a good guard Andrus Peat has developed into so quickly. He was drafted as a tackle with all the expectations that come with being able to take on edge rushers and protect Drew Brees. The mentality that takes is much different than playing guard. Playing guard, Peat needs to be a killer; a heat seeking missile who is 0ut to seek and destroy. We have learned that this mentality suits him better. You can see it when he gets out in front of a running back running down field looking to spring his teammates free.

2. AJ Styles

He is a pros pro and deserves a big spot at Wrestlemania for stepping up when WWE needed him badly.

1. JuJu Smith Schuster

It is settled. The NFL has their best touchdown celebrator. He cannot be touched.
