Unsurprisingly, most of the fame and glory associated with the NSFL goes to the biggest stars of the league. That list of stars, like any other pro football league, starts with the quarterbacks first and foremost, and then into the other offensive stars: RB, WR, TE. Of course, there'll be some stud CBs and rush LBs who get some love as well, for splash plays on D. But when it comes to the trenches, on either side of the ball, there's less notoriety.
