Dareus was 4th for all dt/nt.

Julio was 6th for all wr.

Evan Mathis was the 2nd ranked guard.



Eddie Lacy is the 3rd ranked rb.

I remember seeing this list about 3/4 of the season and Kareem Jackson was a top 10 cb at that point. I guess in the last few games someone either jumped him or he slid down a little but regardless he was top 10 for most of the season also. He was around 9 or 10th when I saw the list.

Here is the thread that has all the lists if anyone is interested:

PFF definitely has it's flaws and isn't the end all be all but overall it is a good way to measure how well players have played.

example: Stephan Jackson was a top 10 rb in the nfl last year....Yeah...no. I'm not even gonna entertain that argument lol.

Hightower doesn't get near enough respect. I think around places like /r/nfl or an Alabama message board he gets plenty of respect...but as far as like talking to the average fan at a bar....doesn't get near enough respect. He is one of the best lb's in the game already. PFF is backing this statement up...

If he keeps it up he will definitely get the respect he deserves but for him to not even be a pro bowler is crazy.

Not sure which is more impressive, Rolando there after his drama and first year back after the extended absence, or CJ killing it as rookie.

Add in the fact that what Upshaw does doesn't really show up in the stat sheet, but is a HUGE part of what the Ravens do on defense.

He is a bad SOB. Big enough to hurt you and just fast enough to scare the piss out of sane people.

Dude is one my all time faves. My good friend is a massive Bmore fan and asked me about him when they drafted him. I said, "His combine measurables were underwhelming because they don't have a baddest meanest motherfricker in the building drill."
