While Manning was the first overall pick of the 1998 NFL Draft, Brady was a sixth-round pick of the Patriots two years later. The University of Michigan product was a platoon starter for the Wolverines but made the most of his opportunity when incumbent Drew Bledsoe went down early in the 2001 season. He’s held onto his starting job ever since while famously leading the Patriots to four Super Bowl championships.
Anderson somehow made the Broncos squad in 2013 as an undrafted free agent after rushing for 790 yards for a 3–9 California Bears team. After playing sparingly as a rookie in 2013, Anderson came on at the end of 2014 averaging 108 yards rushing over the final six games. The late-season surge ended with a Pro Bowl invite.
This year Anderson has rushed for 720 yards, but his biggest game in the regular season was against New England when he went for 113 yards in Denver’s 30–24 overtime win.
