NFL Network's annual countdown of the top 100 players in the NFL unveiled spots 81-90 on Wednesday night. This was particularly notable for the Detroit Lions, as three of their players landed in that range:
Tate and Quin both made their top 100 debut after not being ranked in the past. I'm honestly a bit surprised that Quin wasn't ranked higher considering he led the NFL in interceptions last season and made the Pro Bowl. He was outstanding throughout the season, as was Tate, who also ended up in the Pro Bowl. Tate was especially good when he had to be the Lions' No.
