The NFL season is about to kick off, highlighting key players like Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins who are pivotal for their teams. Both quarterbacks, recovering from Achilles injuries, aim to lead the Jets and Falcons respectively towards postseason aspirations.

Rodgers brings experience to the Jets, hoping to bounce back despite concerns about his mobility at 40. Meanwhile, Cousins aims to elevate the Falcons' offense, building on his pre-injury success to enhance the talent around him.

Additionally, Tyler Lindenbaum's role as center for the Ravens is crucial for offensive harmony, while Trent McDuffie's development in the Chiefs' secondary becomes vital as they face youth in the cornerback position. Both players can significantly influence their teams' playoff potential this year.
