It is the time of year -- the slow offseason -- when NFL Network starts its countdown of the top 100 players in the league for the coming season. Other sites do the same thing, including analytics-based site Pro Football Focus. The site does a top 101 and released the list of players ranked from 76-101. The Arizona Cardinals have a player in that group -- guard Evan Mathis, whom they signed to a one-year deal this offseason.
Mathis comes in at 76.
Injury and playing time hurt Evan Mathis, but we also saw him slip as a pass-blocker at times during the season.
