How do you manage to stand out on a defense that's filled with stars? Well, the way I see it, there are three potential paths toward relevence... First, you can become a star yourself, but that's far easier said than done. It requires an ungodly amount of work just to be an below average NFL player. Becoming one of the hundred or so best is reserved for a remarkably exclusive group.
Second, you could put forth a star-making performance in a standalone game, such as the one that Houston Texans defensive tackle Tommy Togiai had against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football just a few nights ago.
