NFL's Top 100 as voted by the NFL Players rankings (40 to 31)

Umaru Lamin, Sports Writer DGT Sports











We move forward with our list of the NFL's Top players, listing players 40 to 31 on the Top 100 list. We'll see who makes the list as we climb up the list of the top players in the NFL. Please post your comment on your analysis of the players listed.

40. T. Suggs Ravens, LB

Terrell Suggs a 8 year player is one of the best linebackers in the league today. Suggs is a 4-time Pro Bowler who received the honor during the 2010 season. Suggs recorded double digit sacks in 2011 registering 11 sacks. Suggs is a one-dimensional linebacker whose primary attribute is to rush the passer. Suggs should have another double digit sack season and should maintain his position in the rankings.

39. L. Mankins Patriots, G

Logan Mankins is a 6 year Pro is considered one of the best Guards in the NFL. Mankins is a 3 time Pro Bowler who achieved the honor in 2010. Mankins held out the first part of 2010, however he still was able to achieve Pro-Bowl status. Mankins assist the Patriots with his able to seal defensive tackles on run plays, and hold rushers on passing downs. Mankins is a very solid Guard who could even see his position improve in 2011.

38. S. Jackson Rams, RB

Steven Jackson a 7 year player who is a 3 time Pro Bowler who was selected to the 2010 team. Jackson didn't have a high touchdown output scoring only 6 rushing TD's in 2010. Jackson was able to rush for over 1,200 yards over 16 games last year. The key with Jackson is can he stay healthy throughout the year. If Jackson is healthy in 2011 look for him to rank in the top 30. He should have a bigger year in 2011 due in part to expectations to a double digit touchdown year.

37. J. Vilma Saints, LB

Johnathan Vilma has been in the league for 7 years, and he is a 3 time Pro-Bowler. Vilma is the leader of the Saints defense which has the uncanny ability to cause a lot of turnovers. Vilma made the Pro Bowl in 2010 registering 105 tackles, and 4 sacks on the Quarterback. Vilma is a consistent linebacker who should put up similar stats in 2011 as the Saints defensive leader.

36. J. Witten Cowboys, TE

Jason Witten is a 8 year NFL player who has made the Pro Bowler 7 straight years. Witten has some of the best pair of hands in the NFL. Witten totaled 1,000 receiving yards in 2010. Witten caught 9 touchdowns last year with Tony Romo out most of the year. With Romo back Witten should have another big year in 2011. Witten's consistency will keep him ranked in the Top 40 this coming year.

35. V. Wilfork Patriots, DT

Vince Wilfork a 7 year Pro is arguably the best nose tackle in the NFL today. Wilfork is a 2010 Pro Bowl selection, who has been named to the team 3 times. Wilfork is the key to the Patriots defense as he receives double teams on every position. Wilfork is a stable force for on the Pats defense. Wilfork should maintain a similar position in 2011.

34. J. Evans Saints, OT

Jahri Evans is a 5 year Pro who is already one of the best lineman in the NFL. Evans has made the Pro Bowl the last 2 years, and he is one of the anchors of the Saints offensive line. Evans is trending upwards on the list and if he continues his dominant play Evans can make the Top 25 in 2011. Looks for Evans to have another dominating season in playing a major role in leading the Saints to a high octane offense this year.

33. J. Charles Chiefs, RB

Jamaal Charles is 3 year Pro who made his 1st Pro Bowl in 2010. Charles rushed for nearly 1,500 yards, averaging over 6 yards per carry. Charles is as explosive as they come from the running back position. Charles is ascending into one of the great young backs, but the question remains whether he can take the physical hits with his small stature. Charles is putting up historic numbers with his yards per carry statistics. If he averages close to 6 yards per carry in 2011 he'll make me a believer and he'll rank in the Top 20.

32. D. Hester Bears, WR

Devin Hester is a 5 year player in the NFL who is explosive every time he has the ball in his hand. Hester is a 2010 Pro Bowler who already leads the NFL all-time in combined punt return, and kickoff return touchdowns. Hester is on the field more as a Wideout which has affected some of his productivity. Hester produced only 475 passing yards, on 40 receptions in 2010. Hester must show that he can be a contributor as a Wide Receiver to be as high on the list in 2011.

31. R. Wayne Colts, WR

Reggie Wayne is a 10 year Pro, who has made the Pro Bowl the last 5 years. Wayne is Mr. Consistent from the Wide Receiver position. Wayne totaled 6 touchdowns in 2010, with 1,300 yards receiving. Wayne must total double digits in touchdowns in 2011 to maintain his spot for this coming season. Wayne is coming into his 11th year, and with the competition at the Wideout position it's imperative that he puts up big numbers in 2011.
