PFW's Top 50 NFL players

[motife]

1) Tom Brady QB, NE
"This year, you see more of the personality, more of his focus. You see the close-up shots of his face when they get down. There's more to the guy than just an arm."

2) Peyton Manning, QB, Ind.
"I don't think there is anybody who does a better job of getting the ball to his playmakers than him, because he is not a scrambler."

3) Brett Favre, QB, GB
"Oh man their coach (Mike McCarthy) is really good for him. He's been more patient this year than in past years. Sometime that comes from being more confident in your wide receivers and offensive line."

4) Randy Moss, WR, NE
"helped him to go to a place where lines are clearly drawn."

5) Bob Sanders, S, IND
"I think Bob Sanders is the gold standard. What he does for that football team is unique."

6) Tony Romo, QB, Dall
"Developed quite nicely. You like that he doesn't have that much of a conscience as a QB. When he's on he can make all the throws."

7) Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pitts
8) Brian Westbrook, RB, Phil
9) LaDainlian Tomlinson, RB, S.D.
10) Jared Allen, DE, K.C.
