ay.Joe Gibbs Racing pulled off the feat in 20

During the first series of the Arizona Cardinals Week 1 matchup with the New Orleans Saints last season, Tyrann Mathieu played at the nickel back position on first down versus a bunch formation. On second down, Mathieu rolled to the deep middle of the field -- as a true free safety -- for a play. Third down? Mathieu aligned in the box, right off the ball, as a run-stopper. That drill continued throughout the game -- and the season, really -- until Mathieu went down with a knee injury.This guy isnt a safety, or a corner, or a nickel, or a even a dime linebacker. Mathieu is a monsterback, the new hybrid player in the NFL. Play the pass. Play the run. Blitz. Win matchups in space. Find the ball. Finish. Tackle. These cats are physical, fast and play-making chess pieces in the game plan. And every team is looking for one.Mathieu is the top monsterback in todays game, but who else makes the cut? And which defensive rookies are on deck, the future studs with the size, speed and matchup ability? Lets rank the top monsterbacks in both categories.Top veterans1. Tyrann Mathieu, Arizona Cardinals: Cover a top receiver? Check. Drop down to blitz? Yep. Show the range to play over the top of the defense? You got it. Mathieus versatility is off the charts. And his play-making skills are ridiculous. Always around the ball, Mathieu is a coachs dream. Bradley Chubb Broncos Jersey .

James Hinchcliffe is one of the most personable -- and marketable -- drivers in the IndyCar Series. Hes been a natural fit for the star-strapped series in every promotional opportunity presented, yet he is far from a household name.The popular Canadian will now step on the biggest stage yet in an effort to show if he can dance. Hinchcliffe will participate in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars even though this is not something that is exactly in his wheelhouse.If theres something below amateur, Hinchcliffe said of his dancing skills, it would be that.Hinchcliffe will be the second IndyCar driver to dance on the ABC hit. Helio Castroneves won the show in 2007, but did not receive enough fan votes to advance deep into a 2015 all-star edition.On a show that relies on popularity as much as it does dancing skills, moving through the first few weeks could be challenging.That was no deterrent to Hinchcliffe, who returned for his sixth season in IndyCar this year after a near-fatal accident 15 months ago. Hinchcliffe was practicing for the Indianapolis 500 when his thigh was pierced by a broken piece of car during a wreck. He nearly bled to death as he was hustled into life-saving surgery. Hinchcliffe needed most of last year to recover, and the experience taught him to enjoy the present moment.One of those lessons is to take opportunities, not shy away from things, dont be afraid, he said. Youve got to kind of live your life. This is one of those things that might not have ever come around again, and it is outside my comfort zone, so it was certainly not a decision I took lightly, but I think ultimately we made the right choice to be a part of it, and Im looking forward to getting started.With two races left in his comeback season, Hinchcliffe is eighth in the IndyCar standings. He nearly won last Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway but was passed on the last lap.The end of the season gives Hinchcliffe a chance to learn how to dance. He practiced Tuesday and Wednesday in Indianapolis with DWTS partner Sharna Burgess, but hes off to upstate New York for this weekends race at Watkins Glen.He also has the season finale in Sonoma, California, on Sept. 18. Once the season is over, he will relocate to Los Angeles if he advances on the show.Hinchcliffe is hoping for a lengthy run, not just for his own brand, but for the potential growth of IndyCar.This kind of thing, sure, it benefits me personally, but it also benefits the sport, he said. Ive always said from day onee that anything that I can do outside of a race car to help grow the sport of IndyCar racing is something you can sign me up for because Ive got such a passion for this sport.dddddddddddd.---RPM REORGANIZATIONRichard Petty Motorsports has released vice president of operations Sammy Johns in an organizational restructuring to jumpstart a struggling team.RPM heads into the 25th race of the Sprint Cup Season without a driver in the top 20 in points. Aric Almirola is 25th in the standings, while Brian Scott is 33rd and neither has a top-10 finish this season.Philippe Lopez and Scott McDougall will temporarily oversee all competition duties previously held by Johns.The past several years, we have made significant investments in our organization with the goal of winning races and to compete at a high level on a weekly basis, said Brian Moffitt, chief executive officer.
