7. Markus Kuhn – By scooping a fumble and going the distance against the Tennessee Titans in December of 2014, Kuhn became the first German citizen to score a touchdown in the NFL. The Patriots’ Sebastian Vollmer has yet to reach pay dirt.

6. Anthony Johnson – The third-year pro was the first lineman to earn Gatorade Louisiana State Player of the Year coming out of high school. He also was given the No. 1 overall defensive tackle designation by Rivals.com.

5. Nate Washington – Washington owns eight school Tiffin University school records, including most receiving yards in a single game (299). A veteran of 10 NFL seasons, Washington is the old man on this list of predominantly rookie offseason additions. In fact, only Tom Brady (38) is older than Washington (32). He’s not the same player he was back in 2011 (74 receptions, 1,023 yards, seven touchdowns), but Washington displayed last season with the Houston Texans that he can be a trusty veteran compliment to an elite pass catcher.
