MY NFL TOP 100 PLAYERS LIST: 31-50
31. RYAN CLADY-DENVER BRONCOS-OT #3
He is clearly one of the best offensive lineman in the NFL. He has made three Pro Bowls and two first team All NFL lists. Protecting Peyton Manning's blind side is key to the Broncos Super Bowl hopes in 2013.
32. LONDON FLETCHER-WASINGTON REDSKINS-LB (non edge) #3
Even at age 37 last year, Fletcher was still ultra productive finishing 8th in the league in tackles with 139 and added 5 interceptions as well. He never gets the credit he deserves.

33. BEN ROETHLISBERGER-PITTSBURGH STEELERS-QB #7
Multiple Super Bowl winning QB. Only Big Ben, Eli and Brady can say that.

34. RODDY WHITE-ATLANTA FALCONS-WR #5
The guy is just insanely productive every year. Young Julio Jones' emergence hasn't hurt his production as White had more catches and yards than Julio last year. Many are expecting a drop off but I would never count out Mr. White

35. ROB GRONKOWSKI-NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS-TE #1
Despite his crazy personality and off the field fun, Gronk is the best TE in the NFL. When he and Aaron Hernandez are healthy together they are a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses

36. MATT RYAN-ATLANTA FALCONS-QB #8
Matt Ryan has been good for the first few years of his career but this past year he started to enter "elite" level as a signal caller. He shook off the critics and finally won a playoff game. Ryan will enter super stardom if he can lead Atlanta to a Super Bowl win next year.

37. CHRIS LONG-ST. LOUIS RAMS-DE/PR #7
With 24.5 sacks the past two seasons, Long is proving to have the elite pass rushing skills that made his father Howie Long a Hall of Famer.

38. RICHARD SHERMAN-SEATTLE SEAHAWKS-CB #2
He's an arrogant trash talker that thinks he's better than Darrelle Revis and he also apparently hates Skip Bayless. He backs up MOST of what he says though (unless he's covering Roddy White). Sherman's numbers are great and he's the second best player on an elite defense in Seattle. It will be hard to duplicate his 8 interceptions of 2012.

39. WES WELKER-NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (signed with DEN this off season)-WR #6
He may be the hardest player to rank in the NFL. His numbers are at a Hall of Fame level yet the Patriots just let him walk this off season. It will be very interesting to see how he does in Denver with Peyton Manning. Damn 2013 is going to be fun!

40. JULIUS PEPPERS-CHICAGO BEARS-DE/PR #8
With 111.5 career sacks in an 11 year career Peppers is looking more and more like he's Canton bound. Peppers stayed consistent in 2012 producing 11.5 sacks.

WOW!!! Catching passes from Peyton Manning instead of Tim Tebow really made a difference last year. The sky is the limit for the big 6-3/230 25 year old.

After six solid seasons, Jennings had a breakout season leading the NFL in interceptions in 2012.

43. JOE THOMAS-CLEVELAND BROWNS-OT #4
Six NFL seasons and six Pro Bowls for Mr. Thomas. He continues to be one of the best offensive lineman in the league.
44. JAMAAL CHARLES-KANSAS CITY CHIEFS-RB #5
Charles was a bright spot on a KC team that struggled last year. He came back from an ACL injury in 2011 to have over 1,700 total yards. 2013 should be brighter for Charles as new coach Andy Reid has proven he can have success with RB's like Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy in Philly.

45. CHRIS MYERS-HOUSTON TEXANS-C #1
Myers had 28.9 ranking according to Pro Football Focus making him the highest rated center in the game. Myself an many others also regard him as the best center in the game. He is the 5th highest offensive lineman in my rankings.
46. DEZ BRYANT-DALLAS COWBOYS-WR #8
Just like Demaryius Thomas, Bryant broke out in a big way in his 3rd year in the league. He is big time play maker. All he needs to do is stay consistent, stay healthy and stay focused and he will become a superstar.

48. JIMMY GRAHAM-NEW ORLEANS SAINTS-TE #2
the Graham vs. Gronk debate carried on in 2012. I give Gronk the slight edge here. Graham had 6 more catches and 192 more yards but played in 4 more games than Gronk. Given Gronk's injury problems, I would take Graham over the long run. Both guys are unable to be guarded one on one.

49. CHAMP BAILEY-DENVER BRONCOS-CB #4
Even with him getting longer in the tooth, Bailey continues to play at an elite level. Bailey made his 12th that's right 12th Pro Bowl appearance in 2012. Next stop after Denver in Canton.

50. LARRY FITZGERALD-ARIZONA CARDINALS-WR #9
If a LEGIT NFL QB was throwing him the ball, he'd be in the top 15 at the very least. Fitzgerald has seen his numbers slide drastically due to poor QB play. Carson Palmer isn't a star, but he's much better than any QB they've had since Kurt Warner.
