The NFL is a league of change, and parity. For every retiring star, there are three aspiring rookies to take his place. The NFC East boasts some of the best front office staffs in football, so young talent is paramount in the division. With such an open level of competition, a blue-chipper could make the difference for his contending team, or a rookie-mistake could cost one a chance at a title. Regardless, your favorite teams are getting younger, so let’s get to know the youths getting ready to take-over the NFC East.

10. Bacarri Rambo, Safety, Washington Redskins 

In the nation’s capital, a team looks ready to make the jump to greatness. However, the 2012 division Champion Washington Redskins are not without fault. In 2012, the Redskins’ secondary was one of football’s worst, surrendering over 281 yards per game, bad enough for 30th in the league. Washington will look to improve in that problem area, and Rambo could be a solution. Since being inserted as a starter from day one of training camp, the Georgia graduate has adapted to playing the pro-safety position, and could be a fixture in the Redskins’ secondary for years to come. With solid aggressiveness and the ability to cover multiple routes, Rambo has the tools to succeed in the NFL.

9. Justin Pugh, Offensive Line, New York Giants 

For a team with so many injuries to its offensive line, the Giants may have gotten lucky with a solid value pick in the first round. Due to the injury to David Baas Pugh will get his chance to play with one of the leagues’ best offensive units, and cement an otherwise-shaky offensive line. David Wilson and Andre Brown need someone to run behind, and the Giants’ new starter at right tackle looks ready to make his mark on the NFL, if only out of necessity. Pugh’s play will be huge for the Giants’ playoff hopes, for if he stumbles, there will be no one left to pick up the slack.

7. David Amerson, Cornerback, Washington Redskins 

Returning to one of the most-abused units in the league, Washington’s secondary is missing more than just a safety. Enter rookie David Amerson, a second round pick who should see plenty of action in a banged-up secondary. Starters DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson have been unable to stay healthy for entire seasons, so expect Amerson to get his shots early and often. Amerson has been taking reps with the starters since the beginning of training camp, and has proven himself more talented than fellow Redskin’s corner E.J. Biggers. If Amerson can continue to show aggression and become a factor against the run, the N.C. State graduate could keep his starting title when Wilson and Hall return from injury.

6. Travis Frederick, Offensive Line, Dallas Cowboys

Many eyebrows were raised when Dallas decided to spend its first-round selection on a man they could have gotten as late as the third round. Regardless, the Cowboys addressed a major team-need, and Frederick will have a chance to make himself a fixture on Dallas’ offensive line. For the Cowboys, their entire season hinges on the offensive line play, so the rookie from Wisconsin has his work cut out for him. Regardless, if Frederick adapts to the NFL level quickly, he could be a major building-block in Dallas’ crusade for a 6th Championship.

5. Rueben Randle, Wide Receiver, New York Giants

Everyone knows the playmakers on the Giants’ offense, Hakeem Nicks Victor Cruz and Eli Manning need no introductions, but a new name may enter that group after 2013. Entering his second season, Randle may be the heir apparent for the veteran Nicks, but will fill the slot-receiver role for the present. Touted as one of the best prospects in the 2012 draft, Randle did not disappoint in his first season as he caught 19 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns while filling in for the injured Nicks. Randle is ready to take his game to the next level, and should factor heavily into the Giants vertical offense in 2013.

4. Jason Avant, Wide Receiver, Philadelphia Eagles

The next name on this list is by far the most experienced, but may also have the most potential. Eagles’ wide receiver Jason Avant is entering his eighth NFL season, and has never shown more potential for explosion within an offense. Due to the season ending injury suffered by his fellow-Eagle Jeremy Maclin Avant will have a bigger role than ever before in Chip Kelly’s new-look offense. Don’t be surprised if Avant catches 100 passes in 2013, number 81 is in for a breakout campaign.

3. Bryce Brown, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles

While LeSean McCoy ‘s starting job is far from in jeopardy, another dynamic rusher waits in the wings in Philadelphia. Sophomore running back Bryce Brown looks ready to succeed in an offense that is expected to run more plays than any other in football. One can’t expect “Shady” Mccoy to shoulder that load alone, and Brown has emerged as a primary backup. If Brown can learn how to protect the football, the Eagles may have the best one-two punch in football.

2. Gavin Escobar, Tight End, Dallas Cowboys

Jason Witten has been a nightmare for opposing secondaries for the better part of a decade. As we all know misery loves company, Dallas drafted San Diego State’s Gavin Escobar in the third round of the 2013 draft, and added a major complement to their offense in the process. The NFL is evolving into a two tight end league, and the combination of Escobar and Witten has potential to be one of the games’ best. Escobar is a spectacular weapon in the receiving game, and possesses great route running ability and stellar hands. By adding Escobar, the Cowboys have one of the most talented groups of skill-position players in the NFL, and Escobar could factor heavily into Dallas’ red-zone offense.

1. David Wilson, Running Back, New York Giants 

New York Giants’ sophomore rusher David Wilson returns to the big apple in 2013 as the first name on the teams’ depth chart. Wilson has all the tools of a great running back: ball-carrier vision, explosive speed, and is impressively shifty. If not for the presence of touchdown-vulture Andre Brown, and the fact that he will play a portion of the season behind a ramshackle offensive line, Wilson would have been a top running back prospect heading into 2013. Regardless, Wilson will have a big year for the G-men, and look to cement is position as one of the leagues’ premier workhorse running backs.
