- Kansas City Chiefs: Daniel Bryan. Not a big name, but a ton of talent. Young team, young performer. Won the AFC West, won the US Title. Both show promise. If Matt Cassell can go from obscurity to a playoff starter and possible future champion, what is to say that Bryan can't go from the Indy wrestling federations all the way to the big time? It could happen.
- San Diego Chargers: Mark Henry. Tons of physical ability and constantly under-performing. Mark Henry was once (legitimately) the World's Strongest Man, and competed in the Olympics twice. The Chargers have tons of physical talent, and put up amazing offensive and defensive numbers. It is just that, come crunch time, neither one follows through. Henry has only held two championships in his career, and the Chargers were destroyed in their one Super Bowl appearance. The promise has always been there, but not the finish. At least for the Chargers sake, their players are young. Henry's career is on the downslope, but he still comes out every week to entertain.
- Oakland Raiders- The Big Show. Known as Captain Insaneo to fans of The Waterboy, this man is a giant. 7'0, 450+ lbs. Agile for his size, strong as a bull, extremely powerful. All the measurable skills that Al Davis would fall in love with. He is a perfect fit. He was a dominant force when he broke into wrestling in the 1990s, billed as the next Andre the Giant (luckily for Show, he doesn't suffer from Gigantism like Andre. He is just very big). The Raiders won three Super Bowls in the late 70s and early 80s. Since then, they just haven't been the same. Show has his moments, but hasn't won the title in some time. The Raiders got back to the Super Bowl, but lost to the Buccaneers in 2003. They are starting to turn the corner now, and Big Show is still intimidating his opponents with his size and strength.
- Denver Broncos- CM Punk. Again, another team that has won in the past. Two titles under John Elway. Now, they are looking for a new leader, and might have one in Tim Tebow. CM Punk has won his titles, and is now leading the Nexus, preaching faith in him. Tebow might be nicer than the Straight-Edge Superstar, but both are natural leaders that command the respect of their followers. Just not sure if they will be led back to the championship, or deeper into obscurity.
