FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- It’s July, and that means the NFL news cycle is at its nadir, crawling along until training camps open at the end of the month.
It’s also that time of year when tons of lists – many of them meaningless – and positional rankings are put together, dispersed and debated.
Exhibit A: The NFL Network’s Top 100 players for 2017, as voted on by the players.
The other reason these lists are being generated by outlets everywhere, aside from the fact that everyone loves to debate rankings? Fantasy football, of course.
