Mixon and Boyd jump out, but it wasn't so much Mixon improving as it was blocking schemes. Mixon has always been a fantastic talent. With Boyd, I think injury played a role in his regression in 2017.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

I know it's been said a million times, but the LBs really, really made everyone else look bad on defense. Honestly, we may as well have been better off not even having linebackers on the field, they were that bad. It doesn't matter how good your DL is if the QB always has an open receiver in the middle of the field.

Team game. If someone improves next to you, you might see less double teams and improve as well. There's a few players that stand out though.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
