4) Aaron Williams

In some respects, you may be surprised to see Aaron Williams on this list. After all, we’re talking about one of the Bill’s defensive leaders.

However, Williams’ inclusion purely comes down to his ability to bounce back from the neck injury he first suffered in Week 2 last season. At the time, people feared the worst, as he lay motionless on the field.

Fortunately, the 26-year old turned out to be okay, although he re-injured himself in Week 5, bringing a premature end to his season. His subsequent neck surgery was a success and he recently declared himself 100 percent ready to play.

Regardless of his declaration, Williams admits the real test will come when he puts on the pads on and takes that first hit. He’s projected to return to the starting lineup in the secondary, but of more importance, you just hope he is doing the right thing returning to the field.
