Over the past year and some change, no division in football experienced a renaissance quite like the AFC South. For years, the division was not highly thought of by analysts and the league at large as the Colts and Texans took home division titles from 2010 through 2016. That though, will change, and should do so for the foreseeable future. Three AFC South teams are ranked in the top 13 in Elliot Harrison’s NFL Power rankings (Jaguars at 4, Texans at 12 and Titans at 13).
Why?
Well, players, really. Thirty players from the NFL’s Top 100 have been revealed and five of them have come from the AFC South.
