Last week we dedicated a series of football scoreboards articles explaining the various workout drills and the Quarterback position drills that are a part of the NFL Combine, and what the team representatives and coaches are looking for in an athlete. This week, I have taken a look into the Running Back and Wide Receiver/Tight End position drills at the Combine.

In a football scoreboards feature, we look at the NFL heroes with the golden boots, and ask, how is the greatest ever?
If there ever was a position in the sport of football that was considered to be “just” a position, it is that of the kicker. This position is perhaps the least appreciated and least respected in the history of the game. The kicker’s responsibility may seem to be very simple and meager but, in reality, even though the kicker comes in to play less frequently than the other positions, it is the most pressurized position of all. The precision of the kicker’s kick is vital for the success of the team, hence the immense pressure.

The NFL has seen scores of fantastic defensive players over the years, although they do not get the same credit as the offensive players. They changed the way the defence played the game with their skills and instincts, and are known as the rear-guard legends of the game. In a football scoreboards feature, we look at the current top-five defensive players the opposition quarterbacks hate the most.

In a football scoreboards review, we list the five most downright nasty players currently plying their trade in the NFL.

Football is a game where the word sympathy does not exist. If a player of the opposite team is hurt, he will certainly not get any assurance from the other team on the field. Instead the team will take advantage of this and extract whatever benefit they can from it. Being dirty is allowed only up to an extent, and going beyond that line means that the player will be fined. The recent incident between Seymour and Ben shows that the Federation is still alive and takes action against such dirty players. Seymour, who is well known for his less than squeaky clean play was fined $25000. Such punishments, however, do not seem to be much of a deterent for the 5 players listed below:

It is essential for a team to have a strong defense and at times the defense is even more important than the offense, and on many occasions teams with a weak offense but a brilliant defense have gone on to win the toughest of matches. With the sport getting more and more brutal each year, a defensive player’s strength and ability may be the thing that separates the team from a win or a loss. With 2010 almost over, we have written a special football scoreboards review of the top defensive players this season. Below is the list of the top defensive players of the NFL this year.

In a football scoreboards feature, we talk about the not well known fact about NFL players’ pay, and listed the top 4 best paid players in the game at the moment.

Among all the excitement and drama that follows a professional sports player around, none of it is perhaps more interesting for the fans to gossip about than the contract their favourite player has just signed and how many 0’s (zeros) are involved.

In a football scoreboards feature, we take a look at the 3 biggest catches in NFL history. It is difficult to dub a particular game as the greatest ever played in NFL history, but some games are extremely close and are balancing on a knife’s edge. It is often such games, when a player pulls off a remarkable play, that become etched into everyone’s memory.

American football is all about ability, agility and the courage to take risks when your team needs it the most. For certain positions, a big part of football is catching the ball, sometimes from right under the opponent’s nose. Here are the 3 players that displayed the full extent of their ability and courage to snatch the ball in the most difficult of situations:

In a football scoreboards feature, we look back at the most infamous and brutal injuries the NFL has ever witnessed.
It is a loss beyond words for a professional athlete when his or her career comes to a sudden end due to an injury he/she suffered on the field or on the court. Among all the professional sports, football is probably the most brutal contact sport in the world. Injuries are second nature to the game; it is like a right of passage for all football players to go through and get injured while on the field.
