NFL Network's countdown of the Top 100 Players for 2017 is nearing the end. Players ranked 20-11 were revealed last night.
20. Luke Kuechly, LB
19. Patrick Peterson, CB
18. Tyron Smith, T
17. A.J. Green, WR
16. Drew Brees, QB
15. Aaron Donald, DT
14. Dak Prescott, QB
13. Eric Berry, S
12. David Johnson, RB
11. Derek Carr, QB
I guessed the Top 20 yesterday and simply forgot about Eric Berry. That's not right and a foolish over site.
The biggest surprise for me in this recent reveal is Aaron Donald. He's a Top 10 Player. I'd have him in the Top 10 over Odell Beckham Jr. The commentary of Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett on Donald was the highlight of last night's show.
The commentary on the Top 100 players by the peers has always been the highlight of this annual list.
With Luke Kuechly, Patrick Peterson, Aaron Donald. and Eric Berry on this side of #10 it likely leaves only two defensive players in the Top 10, pass rushers Von Miller and Khalil Mack. That's not enough defensive players. Donald should be in the most elite group of ten.
It's great to see an offensive lineman ranked this high but #17 still feels low for Tyron Smith.
When you get this high on the list it's tough to complain about any of the rankings. All of the players are great. Who do you bump?
With the reveal of the players ranked 20-11, it's pretty clear that next week's Top 10 will include these players.
Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Matt Ryan
Le'Veon Bell
Ezekiel Elliott
Julio Jones
Antonio Brown
Odell Beckham Jr.
Von Miller
Khalil Mack
