Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback: Hats off to general manager Jason Licht for proving that a bottom-of-the-barrel offense can be successfully revamped in one offseason. Like Mariota, Winston has emerged as the face of a previously moribund franchise. Second- and third-round picks Donovan Smith and Ali Marpet have helped turn the league's worst offensive line around. Doug Martin and Charles Sims have been the NFL's most effective backfield duo. Next offseason's agenda: fix the defense.10. Kwon Alexander, Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker: This will be Alexander's lone appearance on the list, as he has begun serving a four-game suspension to close out the regular season. I've been hesitant to include the promising fourth-round pick because he leads all linebackers in missed tackles and is spotty in coverage. That said, he deserves recognition as the only player in the league with at least 90 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.
