9. Russel Wilson
We told you this list would be dominated by quarterbacks, and Russel Wilson is another such player, playing as a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Selected by the team in the 2012 NFL Draft, he tied the record set by Peyton Manning for the most touchdowns in a season by any rookie before leading his team to a cherished Super Bowl victory in the next year, while also leading them to the Super Bowl in 2014 as well. He is also the second highest passer of all time in the NFL.
