The Around the NFL writers will look at some big questions as we hit midseason. First up: Who has already made the leap in 2014?Bruce AriansI see Arians for what he is: An emerging top-five coach in the NFL. People are quick to point to and as the league's premier quarterback whisperers, but Arians is their equal. He's churned out a 16-7 record over two seasons in Arizona with and . He previously flipped the switch on in Indy and in Pittsburgh and even helped pull the into the playoffs in 2002 with Kelly Holcomb at the wheel. The have found a true gem.-- Marc Se sler*Ezekiel AnsahThe defensive lineman always po se sed talent, but needed reps to unleash his skill. He's proven to be a perfect complement to and the ' stout interior. Ansah leads Detroit's No. 1 defense with 4.5 Noah Vonleh Jersey sacks. He's utilized a brutally quick first step and improved hand mechanics to keep left tackles off him -- pop in the tape of the over the and watch him make look silly. Ansah's pa s rushing ability has been paramount to the ' early season succe s. Depending on the severity of 's knee injury, Ansah's importance could be magnified even more as we enter the second half of 2014. -- Kevin Patra*Jason GarrettIf the coach can hold on to his thin lead in the NFC East, he deserves much more than a playoff berth. Navigating the relentle s expectations that come with being head coach of the is not an easy thing to do, especially for a young coach growing up in the spotlight. In that time, Garrett has learned to find his comfort zone, delegate tasks properly among a talented coaching staff and find the respect of his players in an easily-combustible locker room. Not bad. -- Conor Orr*Von Miller is a two-time All-Pro and former Defensive Rookie of the Year. We're fully aware he already "made the leap" to star status. But that was before Miller's lost 2013, a season that included an extended drug suspension and the dreaded torn ACL. The are the and Miller's dominant return to form post-knee surgery is a major reason why. Miller's incredible ability as both a pa s rusher and a run-stuffer puts him in the conversation with as the NFL's most complete defender. He's Denver's most important player not named Peyton.-- Dan Hanzus*Le'Veon BellBell showed promise as a foundation back capable of playing all three downs but lacking big-play ability as a rookie. After dropping 15 pounds, he's been a playmaking machine this year. On pace for 2,172 yards from scrimmage, Bell is third in rushing yards and second among running backs in receptions and receiving yards. While has rightfully hogged the spotlight this season, NFL Media's LaDainian Tomlinson believes Bell has made the leap to the . As Sunday's showed, the have the young talent to lead the league in offense the rest of the way.-- Chris We seling*Golden TateWho knew that and Darrell Bevell were the ones holding Tate's star power down? Tate is third in both receptions and yards, but the numbers don't tell the whole story. Tate continually makes plays that aren't there for an otherwise moribund pa sing attack. has not played well this year without a healthy , so it's been up to Tate to carry an offense that also is struggling to run. Tate often makes difficult grabs off poor throws, and then he makes defenders mi s. He's moving the chains with short pa ses and breaking off chunk plays. So many of Tate's plays were just great individual efforts in the ultimate team sport. For pure game-changing plays, there hasn't been a more valuable receiver in the entire league. -- Gregg Rosenthal*The latest Around The NFL Podcast . Find more Around The NFL content on .
