Jared Cook — Jared Cook ended up catching 52 passes for 634 yards and three touchdowns last season, but there is still more room for him to improve.

Nick Foles — As soon as the St. Louis Rams pulled the trigger, Nick Foles was labeled as the quarterback that would help take them back to the playoffs.

There are quite a few question marks surrounding him, and he'll have to step up and prove himself to the Rams and the NFL.
