This just in.

#1. Aaron Rodgers.
#2. Drew Brees.
#3. Calvin Johnson.
#4. Tom Brady.

Are the top 4 players heading into 2012.

You know who's rated 5th ala the greatest overall defensive player in the game today?

As you can see, voters put a lot of stock in regards to the quarterback position, which makes perfect sense due to the overall impact of the quarterback position, but it's nice to know that the football world considers both Megatron and Revis Island as two of the games greatest skilled position players.

I'd actually have Darrelle Revis ranked ahead of Calvin Johnson for the simple fact that Revis completely eliminates opposing quarterbacks #1 option, shuts down each and every elite WR out there, cuts the field in half etc, etc. But regardless, it's been great watching Revis develop over the years, we've watched him develop into the NFL's greatest overall defender. And he's only 26 years of age :eek:
