NFL Top 100 Players Rankings 2015 List: 70-61 Revealed
The Top 100 players in the National Football League countdown continues.
Every week NFL Network voters provide their opinion on who they think should be in the Top 100 in increments of 10. This week, players listed 70-61 were revealed. Let's take a look at the 10 newest players to the list
70. Tamba Hali
Maybe the most underrated player in the NFL today. Hali doesn't always get the credit he deserves because he plays alongside sack master Justin Houston on the Kansas City Chiefs. The inside linebacker out of Liberia, Africa has recorded 79.5 sacks in his Chiefs career.
69. Bobby Wagner
While everyone focuses so much on the Seattle Seahawks "Legion of Boom" secondary led by Richard Sherman, it's Bobby Wagner who leads the middle of the field. Wagner was tremendous during the 2015 postseason, especially against the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers. Wagner helps make the Seahawks defense a complete unit.
68. Larry Fitzgerald
It's sad to see Fitzgerald here, but it is what it is. Fitzgerald is still a great wide receiver who has the best hands (that's why they call him "sticky fingers") in the NFL, but he just hasn't had a reliable quarterback throwing him the football in years. Fitzgerald only had 63 catches and two touchdowns last season with the Arizona Cardinals.
67. Tashaun Gipson
Cleveland Browns fans don't have a lot to look forward to these days, but they do have an excellent free safety in Tashaun Gipson. With Gipson and cornerback Joe Haden leading the way, the Browns pass defense ranked No. 8 overall in the league last season. As for Gipson, he had six interceptions for a league-leading 158 return yards.
66. DeAndre Levy
With Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley no longer on the Detroit Lions roster, DeAndre Levy has a lot more responsibility. Levy has played his entire career for the Lions, and he had a career-high 121 tackles last season. His 121 tackles were 51 more than anyone else on the Lions.
65. Justin Forsett
Forsett really came through big time for the Baltimore Ravens last season. For years, Ray Rice was the man in charge of carrying the rock, but Forsett had a breakout year. He recorded career highs in rushing yards with 1,266 and touchdowns with eight. This little back also had 263 receiving yards last year.
64. Charles Woodson
What a career it's been for one Charles Woodson. Now with the Oakland Raiders, Woodson is still making a difference at 38 years old. Woodson recorded four interceptions last season, and he hasn't misses a game the last two consecutive seasons. Last season, Woodson had a career-high 81 tackles.
63. Jerry Hughes
This Buffalo Bills defense is going to be something special next season. Hughes has recorded 20 sacks the last two seasons, and he will perform at a very high level with Rex Ryan coming to town. Hughes sometimes gets overshadowed by fellow teammates and former No. 1 overall pick Mario Williams, but there's no shame in that.
62. Adrian Peterson
This is the selection that may drive NFL fans crazy. Peterson is widely regarded as one of the best running backs in the NFL today, but he missed all of last season. The Minnesota Vikings back has also been involved in trade rumors, and hasn't showed up to OTA's. Still, Peterson is a great back.
61. Jeremy Maclin
The Kansas City Chiefs made a good move to sign Maclin this offseason. Maclin will not only be there to replace Dwayne Bowe, but he will be reunited with head coach Andy Reid. Maclin had a tremendous 2014 season with a career high 1,318 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns with the Philadelphia Eagles.
