On Wednesday, CBS Sports writer Pete Prisco published his annual list of the NFL’s top 100 players.
Prisco makes no secret of it: these rankings are his opinion — although he acknowledges that some “conversations with some league personnel” enter into his yearly evaluations. “Mostly, though,” he says, “it’s my list.”
But it isn’t easy. That much I can promise you. Putting together a top 100 list is tougher than you think — aside from No. 1, of course. That’s easy. That’s a player who now clearly looks down from the top spot of these rankings and soon might be looking down from the top spot of all rankings of players in NFL history.
