NFL Network continued its look at the "top 100" players in the NFL, releasing players 81-90 earlier this week. In an amusing coincidence, a pair of ex-49ers showed up back-to-back. Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith was ranked No. 81, and Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker was ranked No. 82. The rankings are determined by some kind of player vote that is not entirely clear.
We've talked about Smith plenty, but the Walker ranking comes with good timing. Late last week, Walker and the Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension, worth as much as $14.
