What NFL Jersey Should I Buy? 2013 AFC Edition
NFL Jerseys To Own For the Future: AFC
It’s been a bad offseason for longtime NFL jersey owners. Brian Urlacher? No longer a Chicago Bear . Ray Lewis? Retired after his 2nd Super Bowl ring. Charles Woodson, Percy Harvin Elvis Dumervil, Wes Welker, Ed Reed, Mike Wallace, Greg Jennings
, Steven Jackson – all gone to greener pastures. Even Sideline MOB’s own lead writer Steelers had to retire his New York Giants Osi Umenyiora jersey.
So, it’s time to look to the future. What NFL jersey should you buy in 2013 to represent the future of your favorite franchise? Before you make your online purchase at Fansedge
or NFL Shop, or run out toSports Authority, we’re here to give you the answers. Now, before you accuse us of spinning a junk article full of QBs and obvious choices, let’s lay down a few ground rules.
1. No quarterbacks. That’s just too obvious. Anyone can pick up a Joe Flacco Ravens jersey or an Andrew Luck Colts jersey and feel relatively secure about its longevity. We’re going outside the box.
2. No players 30 and over. We want this jersey to last you a few years – the economy sucks, after all.
3. No Tim Tebow jerseys. We only want you buying one in the next 3-4 seasons, not three.
So without further ado, let SidelineMOB
be your guide to your 2013 NFL jersey selection process.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: Jairus Byrd. C.J. Spiller or Fred Jackson would be the obvious choice, but sooner or later one of them’s leaving and we’re not sure which. And Stevie Johnson may wear out his welcome one day. Byrd is a safe choice as a playmaking safety.
Miami Dolphins
: Dannell Ellerbe.Ellerbe is a young, emerging talent after his postseason run with Baltimore. After signing a 5-year deal with Miami, it seems certain he’ll be a Dolphin for awhile.
New England Patriots: Nate Solder
.It’s not flashy, but Solder’s a rock-solid LT for years to come in New England. Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are great TEs, sure, but like Jackson and Spiller in Buffalo, the time will come when one of them will leave town.
New York Jets
: Jeremy Kerley. Who knows what the Jets roster will look like in 2015? We don’t. But Kerley is a 24-year-old WR who just had his breakout season in 2012, and could sew up a long-term position with the Jets offense much like Wayne Chrebet.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
: Torrey Smith. Smith has established deep-threat chemistry with Joe Flacco, and the Ravens would be wise to keep the young wideout in town for a long while.
Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Green. 2 years, 162 receptions, 2,407 yards, 18 touchdowns. End of story.
Cleveland Browns: Joe Haden
. Haden is the most under-appreciated cornerback in the NFL, and at 23 he’s already the cornerstone of Cleveland’s defense. Cleveland has very few indispensable players; Haden is one. (Trent Richardson is an obvious pick, sure, but we don’t want you to get bored.)
Pittsburgh Steelers
: Maurkice Pouncey. The Steelers like to keep their offensive linemen around for as long as they’re viable. At 23, Pouncey is a multiple-time Pro Bowler in the making at the NFL’s ever weakening center position.
AFC South
Houston Texans: J.J. Watt. Take your pick between him and Arian Foster
; we’re going with Watt because he’s 2 years younger than Foster. At 26, Arian has 3-4 great years left at RB (by the numbers); J.J. can be a force for another decade.
Indianapolis Colts
: T.Y. Hilton. Sure, we can’t be 100% positive that the Colts will re-sign the speedy WR from Florida International when his rookie contract expires. But come on, how cool is it to have Hilton written on your back?
Jacksonville Jaguars: Cecil Shorts III
.It’s a coin flip between Shorts and
Justin Blackmon
, so we’re going with the guy who had the better season in 2012. Also, when you consider the intangibles, Cecil Shorts III is just a great name.
Tennessee Titans: Kenny Britt. JUST KIDDING. Man, we have no idea. Take whoever they pick in the 1st round of the ">http://www.nfljerseyschina.us.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=Justin+Blackmon&x=29&y=10/">2013 NFL Draft
.
AFC West
Denver Broncos: ">http://www.nfljerseyschina.us.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=Von+Miller&x=0&y=0/">Von Miller. We’re making it official: Von Miller is the baddest man on the planet who wears glasses. With 30 sacks and 8 forced fumbles in his first 2 seasons, Miller is a one-man wrecking crew at linebacker.
Kansas City Chiefs: Dontari Poe. He’s the Chiefs’ 1st round pick from 2012 and has the nose tackle position locked down for the foreseeable future. Plus, you can feel intelligent when people subconsciously compare you to the author.
Oakland Raiders: Stefen Wisniewski
. The Raiders are cleaning house under new GM Reggie McKenzie. Much like Maurkice Pouncey in Pittsburgh, we expect the young and talented Wisniewski to stay put as the Raiders’ center of the future. At this rate, anyone else could find themselves wearing a different jersey very soon.
San Diego Chargers: Corey Liuget. Yes, Ryan Mathews
is their young, standout RB. But Mathews hasn’t played more than 14 games in a season during his 3-year NFL career, and durability is an issue. Liuget had a nice sophomore campaign at DE, with 51 total tackles, 7 sacks and 9 deflected passes.
