Always the forgotten man among the all-everything linebacking corps of Rey Maualuga, Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews, Maiava was a Rose Bowl MVP at Troy and now is enjoying the best football of his professional career. He missed a good portion of the season due to injury, but he's returned with back-to-back seven tackle games, which marks his career best.(Photo by Getty Images)
