Top 25 Under 25: #17 Matthew Stafford


Born: February 7, 1988 (age 24)
Team: Detriot Lions
Position: QB

When you think of Stafford you really don't question how talented he is, but his health. In his first 2 season Stafford was only able to play 13 games, but in 2011 he was finally able to stay healthy and we saw what this kid can do. Stafford threw for 5,038 yards, 41 TDs with a completion percentage of 63.5%. For that he was named to the Pro Bowl, and won AP Comeback Player of the Year.

Sure, he is made a better player by Calvin Johnson, but 41 TDs is 41 TDs, and if the Lions can protect this guy we might just be starting to see what he can do. I mean he is 24 years old and already holds 3 record for the Lions...

Most passing yards in a single season: 5,038 (2011)
Most passing touchdowns in a single season: 41 (2011)
Highest completion percentage in a single season by starting QB: 63.5 (2011)

Yea, it's the Lions, but still impressive. I can wait to see what he and the Lions can do moving forward, because their team is just oozing with talent.
