One guy that really opened my eyes last year was Andre Branch. After a terrible rookie campaign and Coming into 2013 preseason, Everyone including me was demanding he give up his playbook but this man has fought himself out of the doghouse. Even when surviving cuts he was still on shaky ground but something happened mid-season.

 

The man rose from whatever mediocrity he was afflicted with. Was able to have a slightly decent 6 sack season despite limited play time. Even earned the high regard from his positional coaches as an exceptional worker. Not saying he will ever be a pro bowler but he can contribute just like Cecil Shorts,

 

I think its great to have one more reason and a reminder that its possible for players to drastically change their course of direction skill wise. I don't know about you guys but I am rooting for Andre Branch come 2014 training camp to make that next step and solidify his spot.
