Vikings WR Randy Moss

We asked NFL insiders to name players who could be potential prototypes for their position if they develop. These youngsters have physical tools that approach the scouts’ prototype for the positions they play. All lack experience, and most lack at least some of the intangibles or techniques needed. Not all are sure things, but you can bet some will be in the Pro Bowl before long. Two of them — Randy Moss and Darrell Russell — have already been there.
