Right... my list
I think you nailed it with Maroney.
Watson too.
I personally believe Ellis Hobbs has already proved it, but I am in a HUGE minority there.
Maybe James Sanders. Rodney will likely be gone, so it will be a big year for him to see if he can step up and really become a leader.
In terms of recent acquisitions, Leigh Bodden and Greg Lewis come to mind.
On the offensive line, I think Logan Mankins must prove he is at his 2007 level to get a nice new contract.
#84.
It's time.

Watson, Thomas, Maroney, Hobbs and Sanders in no set order.

There are to my mind a number that must...
Maroney...Must show he's is less fragile and can split time with an inside back...a Maroney/Morris/Taylor combo would really be bnice to have.
Watson and Thomas...Ben has not been that big time receiver and a threat.Wya too many dropped balls. Thomas was suppose to be a go to guy, but has only shown flashes. Much more consistenncy.
Kaczur...He's going to have to step it up as they will have others competing for his spot on the right side.
Green...He can be dominant at times rushing an dmake the key plays, but had an off season last year. Will be interesting to see how he does this year..better or a step downward.
LSmith...He's just stepping up and getting playing time, but being the 6th in a tough grouping means he either has to take a big step up or be in heavy competition.
Guyton, Redd, Woods, Alexander, Crable and Ruud. Out of these six, a few need to step up and show that they can be starters. Redd has a lot of potential and might be a year or two from that. With him, if he progresses a lot he will stay. Guyton ight be a tweener, so he'll need to establish which LB position is best for him and to improve. Crable needs to stay
healthy and show that he can develop...same as Redd. Ruud needs to show something on Special Teams. Alexander might show that he can be a backup ILB, but if not, he'll need to be a top special teams player. Woods needs to step up to possibly a starter and/or continue to be a top Specail teams player.
Richardson needs to battle last years rookies and stay ahead of them and to play some solid special teams.
TWilliams needs to stay healthy and play that tough safety/linebacker like he started to in training camp.
I am sure there are other fringe players that must step up..but I thought I would mention a few of the important ones.
The main guy is Maroney I think...
In my opinion I don't see what Hobbs has to prove. What you see is what you get with Ellis. He's not a #1 CB but he's a decent player to have, he doesn't hide and he doesn't quit. We've all seen his level of play and like I say, to me he's what you see is what you get and you either rate him or you don't.
Every CB except the two sophomores.
Every safety except Sanders and Meriweather.
Every LB except Thomas, Mayo, and Guyton. (Even Bruschi.)
L. Smith
Every TE
Every WR except Moss and Welker
Every QB except Brady
Every RB except Faulk, and at his age he's automatically on watch for signs of decline
I'm not so sure about the OL
Did I miss anybody?
