1. Devlin Hodges, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

The rookie from Samford has won both his starts this season, including last week’s victory over Cleveland in which he threw for 212 yards and a touchdown. Hodges seems to have the “it factor’’ and has won the respect of his teammates. Plus, he’ll be facing a bad Arizona defense this week.
