Seahawks safety Earl Thomas explains why he thought his broken leg was career-ending

When it comes to the quarterback position, there are different tiers of players. There are the elite, the above-average, the guys you can win with and the ones who are simply not great. Every year, a handful of players jump up a tier thanks to a breakout season.

The same will be true in 2017 with these six players leading the pack as players who could have solid seasons.
