Around the NFC West: Cards ready to deal

Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic checks in with Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and says no Cardinals player is off-limits for trade when it comes to landing a new quarterback. Somers: "The possibility of swapping Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for Kevin Kolb, however, is more than just the work of minds idled by the lockout. Those discussions will take place whenever the teams are able to discuss the trade, according to NFL sources. Mike Jurecki of KGME-AM (910) reported earlier this week that the Cardinals would offer Rodgers-Cromartie as part of a deal to acquire Kolb. The deal makes sense for both teams." I haven't seen a quote from Whisenhunt specifically saying no players were off-limits, but his comments provided here do nothing to discourage the notion that Arizona would in fact part with Rodgers-Cromartie in a deal for Kolb. Darren Urban of azcardinals.com passes along quotes from Jurecki's recent interview with Cardinals receiver Steve Breaston, who says he's recovered from a knee injury that bothered him last season. Urban: "Breaston said the knee that hampered him all season is fine now, but he also didn’t want to talk about it much, saying it meant nothing for him to say he was OK -- only that he needed to prove it on the field. Of course, he’ll have to sign somewhere before he can really show that. He’s been working out with teammates like Adrian Wilson and said he is stronger in his legs, and admitted last year was inconsistent, in part because of the knee. He didn’t have any further surgery, but the rest made a big difference." Also from Urban : The Cardinals' coordinators face challenges this season. Ray Horton: "I like the phrase ‘Water finds the path of least resistance.' I’ll learn on the fly that this guy doesn’t like to be yelled at, this other guy likes to be pushed. I’ve got to be real fluid, real understanding. I have to be on my toes, don’t oversaturate these guys with too much information and that’s a fine line. Mentally I think I am ready. I already know what I don’t want to do. If we miss however many days of training camp, I already know what I’m not going to do. That’s the best thing. Now, I don’t know what we can do, but … we’re going to be fine." Jim Thomas of the St.

10 Best NFL Players Who Won the Heisman Trophy | Sports Then and Now

2010 Heisman Trophy Winner Cam Newton is set to begin his career as a NFL quarterback with the Carolina Panthers.

Newton will have fight the Heisman “curse” in which former Heisman Trophy winners do not have productive NFL careers.

However, there have been a number of Heisman winners that not only had successful careers in the NFL, but some ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Here are now the 10 Best NFL Players who won the Heisman Trophy: 10. Jim Plunkett- For the first half of his career, Plunkett was a bust as he struggled with the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers following his Heisman win at Stanford in 1970.

Plunkett joined the Oakland Raiders in 1978 to become its backup quarterback and in 1980 became the starter when incumbent Dan Pastorini broke his leg and led the Raiders to a Super Bowl title and was the game’s MVP with a 13-of-21 performance for 261 yards and three touchdowns.

Plunkett remained with the Raiders for six more seasons and led the Raiders to another Super Bowl title in 1983.

9. Paul Hornung- “The Golden Boy” won the Heisman in 1956 despite his Notre Dame Fighting Irish winning only two games, then became a vital part in the Green Bay Packers’ dynasty of the 1960s with his versatility as a halfback, receiver, and kicker.

In his nine NFL seasons, Hornung accounted for a total of 760 points and led the league in scoring from 1959-61, including a then-record 176 points in 1960 and the NFL MVP in 1961.

Hornung helped the Packers to four NFL championships despite missing the 1963 season for betting on NFL games.

8. Eddie George- The 1995 Heisman winner Ohio State became one of the toughest and best running backs during his time in the NFL.

George played nine seasons in the NFL, all but one with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, and never missed a game to injury during his time with the Titans.

In his eight seasons with the Titans, George rushed for over 1,000 yards in each season except 2001 where he rushed for 942 yards, and was named to four straight Pro Bowls form 1997 to 2000.

George was a part of the Titans’ Super Bowl team in 1999 where he rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Tennessee’s 23-16 defeat to the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV.

7. Tim Brown- Brown became the first wide receiver to win the Heisman in 1987 at Notre Dame, then went on to became one of the best wide receivers in NFL history.
