#10: Lucky
I’ll try to get over the waves of sexual tension I’m feeling rn and type this out. Given the division Lucky had to overcome every season and the very real chance of a Super Bowl run he had in season 7 that got undone by some Cam Rich fuckery, I believe Lucky was the most slept-on user in the entire NFC last season. The speed of Rashaud Arnette and Steven Cooper helped, but Lucky was a demon when he brought a west coast offensive mentality into his games. With the exception of what Austin was able to build in New England (fuck the TC for letting that shit fly), Cooper is the closest LB we’ve seen in the Better League to the prime Chase Vander Esch days in M19. Unfortunately Lucky finds himself in another tough division for M22, but I truly believe he has some of the highest untapped potential of anyone in this league and has a Super Bowl run in him.

Last but not least is Lucky. I think it would be ABSOLUTELY disrespectful to Lucky to not put him in the top 10. Like it's been mentioned before Lucky was written off when the M21 teams/divisions were released. Most thought he was the clear 4th place team and would never make the playoffs. Fast forward and he has multiple playoff appearances as well as a NFC Championship game appearance. Sure it was #Season7 but credit should be given where it's due. Lucky had a very impressive cycle competing against the leagues best week in and week out, so he deserves to be in the top 10.

Always starts slow but shows his true potential later in the cycle. Made a cinderella run as the 7 seed knocking out the 1 and 2 seeds but ultimately fell to dan in the nfc championship. If lucky can just be more consistent in the passing game, he could 100% move up this list

Very good defensive user who built a solid team off some good trades. Won some tough regular season games against top comp but fizzled in playoffs.

At the start of 21 there were a lot questions about who would win that NFC East, and Austin proved emphatically that he was the dominant force in that group. With a powerful running game and a solid defense, he gave the league’s best some trouble throughout the year. Obviously he never had the type of playoff success he would’ve hoped for, but I do think there’s a lot to be optimistic about from his corner as we transition to 22.
