The AFC South has evolved from an irrelevant division into one of the most competitive. Here's a breakdown of how, and why, it's happening.
The perception of the AFC South has changed drastically. Not too long ago, it was one of the NFL's most irrelevant divisions. It had the worst collective strength.

Coupled with a dearth of headlining talent, the AFC South has typically attracted little attention from national audiences. That started to change in a big way last season, with C.J.
, nickelback Kenny Moore II, linebacker Zaire Franklin, nose tackle Grover Stewart and safety Julian Blackmon. After falling a game short of the playoffs, Indianapolis is banking on continuity propelling the team forward.
