NFL Debate #82 - Predict/Debate The Top 10 NFL Players of 2016

[Cory]

So most of you know the NFL Network every offseason ranks the players 100-1 and its based off of the votes from players in the league. There's been some surprises on their way to the top 10, (Having Josh Norman at 11 being a tell tale sign too many players voting have CTE) there's a clear pool now for the top 10 players. For referece of the list this far: http://www.nfl.com/network/top100

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Adrian Peterson, Odell Beckham Jr, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski, Luke Kuechly and JJ Watt.

Who will be the Top 10?

[Cory]

10. Odell Beckham Jr -- Only player I don't think deserves a spot, especially with his conduct last season. All bias aside he's a top 25 player but top 10 is overrating him even more than he already is.

9. Adrian Peterson -- All Day is a beast but still struggled with fumbles last season and when it mattered couldn't carry Vikings in the playoffs.

8. Julio Jones -- Physical freak and gets a lot of looks in that Falcons offense, wasn't as consistent as AB....Jones had a slump mid season briefly before catching fire again.

7. Rob Gronkowski -- Uncoverable once he gets going, maybe the most undisputed top player at their position in the NFL.

6. Luke Kuechly -- In my opinion the top player on the Panthers, but these things tend to pull in favor of the QB so I have him here. He's as good at his position and Cam is at his and is more of a leader.

5. Aaron Rodgers -- Bit of a down year but with the injury to Jordy Nelson and exposing of Randall Cobb as nothing more than a great WR2, pretty remarkable stats and how many game winning hail marys? 2-3?

4. Tom Brady -- Putting up 36-7 TD/INT ratio with pretty much a Tight End as your only healthy weapon all season is classic Brady. He'll rate high on this list.

3. Antonio Brown -- I kinda wanted to put him at #1 but I don't think if Megatron ever landed #1, AB wont. p4p the most consistent, elite offensive player in the last 3 seasons.

2. Cam Newton -- MVP, 45 TD's last season. If you take out the fumble fiasco in the SB he'd of had the perfect season from an individual performance standpoint.

1. JJ Watt - Repeat, he's the biggest freak athlete in the NFL and single, double, triple blocks couldn't stop him from leading the league in sacks.
