Notable players include receiver Darrian Chestnut and defensive tackle Chris Charles (who weighs 467 pounds). Also, their clutch kicker Stephen Arnold. Arnold joined the team after three games and made an immediate impact by nailing the game winning extra point in overtime of his first game to give the Stars their first franchise win.
