&lt;p&gt;Having trouble staying awake through four-hour baseball playoff games? Don't worry, we have a remedy for your boredom and it's called pro football. But who are the NFL's most exciting players? We pored through hours of video to provide you with our choice of the five players guaranteed to give fans their money's worth. Here's our list of the five most exciting NFL players ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Reggie Bush: &lt;/strong&gt;Do you need a halfback to run between the tackles for a tough two-yard-gain? Bush is probably not your guy. But if you need a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80b7000f&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;71-yard punt return&lt;/a&gt; for a TD -- or a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80b6fee2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;64-yard one&lt;/a&gt; in the same game -- Reggie is the man for you. Bonus points for his &lt;a href=&quot;http://urbansportstalk.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/kim-kardashian-grinding-reggie-bush_1_1.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;not-so-ugly girlfriend&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Kim Kardashian&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Darren Sproles:&lt;/strong&gt; Sure, &lt;strong&gt;LaDainian Tomlinson&lt;/strong&gt; may get the majority of carries (and love from fantasy football owners), but we'd much rather watch the 5-foot-6 Sproles. Whether it's a 103-yard kickoff return or a simple screen pass turned into a 66-yard touchdown pass, Sproles makes us stand up and cheer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</intro>

Reggie Bush is the most over rated player in the NFL. stop making bad list until you know you your football. Reggie Bush...... have to be kidding me!</body>

        <body>Top 5 most exciting to watch

1. Devin Hester ( The guys an amazing returner)
2. Adrian Peterson ( The guy will eventually end up with a 2000 yrd season)
3. Reggie Bush (Big play ability everytime he touches the ball)
4. Darren Sproles (Big play maker in a little package)
5. Tom Brady (Hate the guy but he throws nothing but TD's) I guess we dont think about players because they are injured?</body>

        <body>Reggie Bust has been mediocre every year in the league except this year and frankly he is an awful RB

Devin Hester by far is the most exciting followed by Adrian Peterson and then BRANDON MARSHALL!

WHY???? Because these three guys are a threat to score EVERY-TIME they touch the ball!!!!</body>

&lt;p&gt;Having trouble staying awake through four-hour baseball playoff games? Don't worry, we have a remedy for your boredom and it's called pro football. But who are the NFL's most exciting players? We pored through hours of video to provide you with our choice of the five players guaranteed to give fans their money's worth. Here's our list of the five most exciting NFL players ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Reggie Bush: &lt;/strong&gt;Do you need a halfback to run between the tackles for a tough two-yard-gain? Bush is probably not your guy. But if you need a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80b7000f&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;71-yard punt return&lt;/a&gt; for a TD -- or a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80b6fee2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;64-yard one&lt;/a&gt; in the same game -- Reggie is the man for you. Bonus points for his &lt;a href=&quot;http://urbansportstalk.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/kim-kardashian-grinding-reggie-bush_1_1.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;not-so-ugly girlfriend&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Kim Kardashian&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Darren Sproles:&lt;/strong&gt; Sure, &lt;strong&gt;LaDainian Tomlinson&lt;/strong&gt; may get the majority of carries (and love from fantasy football owners), but we'd much rather watch the 5-foot-6 Sproles. Whether it's a 103-yard kickoff return or a simple screen pass turned into a 66-yard touchdown pass, Sproles makes us stand up and cheer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. DeSean Jackson:&lt;/strong&gt; The rookie may have made the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJy3nl4hk1c&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dumbest play of the season&lt;/a&gt; with his premature touchdown celebration against Dallas a few weeks ago -- not to be confused with this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBrxSI58JoU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;equally dumb play&lt;/a&gt; he made while in high school -- but you can only mess up a touchdown celebration if you make it to the end zone in the first place. And we expect to see a lot more celebrations before the year is over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Matt Prater:&lt;/strong&gt; We know what you're thinking: How can a kicker be exciting? Matt Prater fits the bill. Not just for his ridiculously strong right leg, but also because he has some &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.zooomr.com/images/3197002_2650ee127d_o.jpg?r=360&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;badass tattoos&lt;/a&gt;. We like our kickers with a bit of an attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Devin Hester:&lt;/strong&gt; Even though Hester may not have returned a kick for a touchdown yet this year (after returning two kicks and four punts for TDs last season), the third-year dynamo is beginning to make his mark as a receiver with touchdowns in the past two games. Simply stated, there are few players in the NFL more dangerous in the open field -- or more exciting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who do you think are the most exciting players in the NFL? Let us know below ...&lt;/p&gt;</body>
