Before They Were Stars

The great thing about the NFL is that it changes every week. The frustrating thing about the NFL? It changes every week. One injury can ruin a player's career; the same injury creates an opportunity for someone else to step up. This year things seem crazier than usual, perhaps because of the shortened pre-season caused by a labor dispute. Now that the NFL season is almost over, let's play a little "who am I?" with some of the biggest names in the game before the biggest game of the year—Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, 2012!

Hakeem Nicks—Wide Receiver, New York Giants
If you compare this Hakeem Nicks’ High School yearbook photo to the more recent one from a DROID RAZR launch event on October 18, 2011 in New York City, you’ll notice that they don’t look all that different. That’s because Nicks was born in 1988 and is 24 years old. So high school wasn’t that long ago. The talented wide receiver is in his third year with the New York Giants, who drafted him in the first round in 2009.
