Prisco's list of best NFL players, 51-100 part

[Fencer]

NFL's best (51-100): More rising stars than past prime - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

Excerpts:

56. Devin McCourty, CB, New England Patriots: He played at a high level as a rookie, especially in the second half of the season. He will be higher on this list in the coming years.

60. Vince Wilfork, NT, New England Patriots: He played both end and nose tackle last season because of depth issues and played well at both spots. His only issue is keeping his weight in check.

62. Jerod Mayo, ILB, New England Patriots: He led the league in tackles, despite playing with a bunch of young players around him. He knows how to find the football.



69. Richard Seymour, DE, Oakland Raiders: For stretches last season, he was as good as any defensive lineman in the league. He just needs to do it more consistently. Age could be a factor in that.



Just missed: Wes Welker, WR, New England Patriots; Matt Cassel, QB, Kansas City Chiefs; Logan Mankins, G, New England Patriots;

Interesting to have Wilfork, who has a weight issue he needs to control ???, behind McCourtey..

That ignorant buffoon knows NOTHING about football. It might just as well be titled; "The 100 players that I've heard of from NFL Network". He'd be lucky to be able to count from 1 to 100, let alone backwards from 100. I guess that is what Editors are for.

Agreed re comments on Prisco,he's a dipstick and a "know-nuthin'".....

Wilfork should probably be ahead of McCourty. and I can't recall Wilfork being over weight(for his contract) seems like a hard working guy. I think he said in an interview his wife helps him monitor his weight and he has a bonus for showing up at the correct weight.
