2. Hunter Henry, Los Angeles Chargers

It seems to happen every year, that the Los Angeles Chargers are plagued with injury up and down the entirety of their roster. This season, Tight end Hunter Henry is the first star for the team to go down with a season-ending injury. Henry was expected to be a huge asset in the passing game, officially becoming the Chargers number one tight end after the departure of future Hall-of-Famer Antonio Gates. He was expected to have a big year in the middle of the Chargers offense.

With outstanding athleticism and smooth route running, Henry looks to become a top tight end in the National Football League. Once he recovers, he may just do that. The Chargers will likely start Virgil Green to replace Henry for the upcoming season. Then again the Chargers might just bring Gates back.
