Williams knows he needs to justify his big $$$ contract this year.

(Last in a series of reports on NFL players on the verge of crucial ‘make or break’ seasons in 2010.)

Over the past few seasons, Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin’s Super Bowl pick has always been his former team. The Playmaker (as Irvin was known throughout his playing days) picked Dallas to win it all not just out of loyalty. He felt the team had all the pieces in place. But this year, Michael Irvin isn’t picking the Cowboys because of a certain, unproductive piece: Roy Williams.

(Fourth in a series of reports on NFL players on the verge of crucial ‘make or break’ seasons in 2010.)

One of the most talented defensive ends in football a few years ago, the New York Giants’ Osi Umenyiora helped lead a Jints defense that thwarted Tom Brady and his New England Patriots’ attempt at immortality in Super Bowl XLII.

But since becoming a champion, times have been hard on Umenyiora. He’s been injured, benched, upset, humiliated and damn near traded. But with a giant reprieve from Jints management this off season and a brand new attitude, Umenyiora looks to make amends. See more…

They say Coach Mike Singletary has these boys ready. They say Alex Smith is the key at quarterback. They say All-Pro tight end Vernon Davis and top draft pick from a year ago Michael Crabtree at wide receiver makes this team prolific offensively. What they fail to mention is the potential impact that recently acquired wideout Ted Ginn Jr may have on the team’s success. Read on…

L.T. still has ‘star power’ on the field and is anxious to show it this season.

(Second in a series of reports on NFL players on the verge of crucial ‘make or break’ seasons in 2010.)

LaDainian Tomlinson feels he has plenty left in his NFL tank. The New York Jets new acquisition at running back is ready, he believes, for a return to the All-Pro form that made him an NFL MVP (and future hall of famer) with the San Diego Chargers.

The former USC golden boy (along with teammate Reggie Bush) had all the celebrity and fame that goes along with being a college football star and top NFL draft pick.
