Pierre Garçon

Pierre Garçon is the kind of story I root for. Coming out of tiny Norwich University and taken in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL draft, he had every reason to vanish, yet he carved out eleven seasons as a wide receiver. That longevity is not luck; it is the product of relentless work from someone who was never handed a place. At 183 cm he was not physically dominant, which makes his durability against elite competition even more impressive to me. I have a soft spot for late-round grinders who outlast the hype, and Garçon earned every yard of that respect.
