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 (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?
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.
