Post 41 - Top 10 Wide Receivers of 2015

Image
Hello! And welcome to my corner! In the coming weeks I'll be revealing my top 10 at each position and eventually my top 100 players in the NFL. Unlike the traditional rankings, though, I'm basing these rankings entirely on the 2015 season and the 2015 season only. Not looking further than that and without influence from their name alone. I got this series underway when I revealed my  Top 10 Kickers and Punters of 2015  back in May. I've now unveiled the  Safeties ,  Cornerbacks ,  Inside Linebackers ,  Outside Linebackers ,  Defensive Ends ,  Defensive Tackles ,  Offensive Lineman  and the Tight Ends . Now we have arrived at the most exciting positions, and to kick it off, here are my Top 10 Wide Receivers of 2015: 10. Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos 105 Receptions (Rec), 1304 yards (Yds), 6 Touchdowns (TDs). Demaryius Thomas managed to slip under the radar a little last season thanks to everything else that was happening...

I've now unveiled the  Safeties ,  Cornerbacks ,  Inside Linebackers ,  Outside Linebackers ,  Defensive Ends ,  Defensive Tackles  and  Offensive Lineman . Now we have arrived at the offensive skill positions. Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Tight Ends of 2015: 10. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles 75 Receptions (Rec), 853 Yards (Yds), 2 Touchdowns (TD's) Honestly, the Eagles offense wasn't exactly worth cheering for last year. They suffered from relatively poor QB play, an inconsis...

I've now unveiled the  Safeties ,  Corner ,  Inside Linebackers ,  Outside Linebackers ,  Defensive Ends , Defensive Tackles and now it's time for the big uglies, the Offensive Linemen. Before I start, I will just say that I am by no means an offensive line expert, so I this ranking is made purely from what I assumed looked like good offensive line play. Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Offensive Linemen of 2015: 10. Trent Williams, T, Washington Redskins Williams has long been the offensive lin...

Earlier this month I got this series underway when I revealed my  Top 10 Kickers and Punters of 2015 . I've now unveiled the  Safeties ,  Corner ,  Inside Linebackers ,  Outside Linebackers , Defensive Ends and I'm now onto the defensive tackles. Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Defensive Tackles from 2015: 10. Marcell Dareus, Buffalo Bills 51 Combined tackles (Comb), 2 Sacks (Sck). Dareus has been one of the positions best for several years now, but he didn't seem like quite the same player this year in Rex Ryan's scheme. Nevertheless, he wasn't exactly bad either and still showed the same skills...

Having been unable to make an impact for any team in his short amount of time there, Sheard did exactly that last year as the Patriots secondary pass rusher. Not only are his 8 sacks and 4 forced fumbl...

Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Outside Linebackers from 2015: Only 3-4 outside linebackers have been considered for this ranking. 10. James Harrison, Pittsburgh Steelers 40 Combined Tackles (Comb), 5 Sacks (Sck), 5 Passes Defensed (PDef), 1 Interception (Int), 2 Forced Fumbles (FF). Although Harrison only played a limited role for the Steelers, Harrison still showed the...

Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 inside linebackers from 2015: I've classified and 4-3 linebacker and 3-4 inside linebackers as inside linebackers.  10. Dont’a Hightower, New England Patriots 61 Combined Tackles (Comb), 3.5 Sacks (Sck), 2 Passes Defensed (PDef). The Patriots defense has started to move back to its formerly dominant self that saw them win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years, and Hightower is a big...

Post 34 - Top 10 Cornerbacks of 2015

Image
Hello! And welcome to my corner! Earlier this month I got my newest series underway when I revealed my  Top 10 Kickers and Punters of 2015 . I've now unveiled my Top 10 Safeties of 2015 , so now it is time for the cornerbacks. In the coming weeks I'll be revealing my top 10 at each position and eventually my top 100 players in the NFL. Unlike the traditional rankings, though, I'm basing these rankings entirely on the 2015 season and the 2015 season only. Not looking further than that and without influence from their name alone. Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Cornerbacks from 2015: 10. Ronald Darby, Buffalo Bills 63 Combined Tackles (Comb), 23 Passes defensed (PDef), 2 Interceptions (Int).  If not for Marcus Peters' insane Int production, Darby could've been well in contention to be the best rookie cornerback last year. Playing next to Stephon Gilmore, Darby was more than capable of holding his own. The future looks bright for the Bills...

Post 33 - Top 10 Safeties of 2015

Image
Hello! And welcome to my corner! Earlier this week I got my newest series underway when I revealed my Top 10 Kickers and Punters of 2015 . Next up in this series is the safeties. In the coming weeks I'll be revealing my top 10 at each position and eventually my top 100 players in the NFL. Unlike the traditional rankings, though, I'm basing these rankings entirely on the 2015 season and the 2015 season only. Not looking further than that and without influence from their name alone. Without further ado, then, here are my Top 10 Safeties from 2015: SS: Strong Safety, FS: Free Safety 10. T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos, SS 61 total tackles (Comb), 2 sacks (Sck), 2 forced fumbles (FF). Since leaving Cleveland, Ward hasn't stood out in the same way thanks to the uber-talent surrounding him in Denver. Despite not enjoying much of the limelight, though, Ward's impact hasn't diminished. He's decent in coverage but is an absolute missile coming down from the safety...

Post 32 - The Top 10 Kickers and Punters of 2015

Image
Hello! And welcome to my corner! Barring my Mock Drafts , I haven't done anything on here for a long time. Too long, in fact. Couple that with the fact it's the offseason, I figured this is the perfect time to get into a new series or articles. And what better than positional rankings? In the coming weeks I'll be revealing my top 10 at each position and eventually my top 100 players in the NFL. Unlike the traditional rankings, though, I'm basing these rankings entirely on the 2015 season and the 2015 season only. Not looking further than that and without influence from their name alone. Without further ado, then, here are my top 10 kickers and punters from 2015: Kickers: 10. Matt Prater, Detroit Lions Prater went 22/24 on field goals this year, with a long of 59-yards1409. He also went 36/39 on the new, longer PAT's. Prater continues to show off one of the stronger legs in the NFL and is still, evidently, one of the more accurate kickers in the NFL. H...

Post 31 - 2016 NFL Mock Draft 3.0

Image
Hello! And welcome to my corner! It's now just less than a week until the 2016 NFL Draft and I can't contain my excitement anymore, especially following the two blockbuster trades at the top of the draft order. With the trades hopefully over for now, here is my third and final mock draft. You can find my previous Mock Draft's here:  Mock Draft 1.0 Mock Draft 2.0   Los Angeles Rams (From Tennessee) – Jared Goff, QB, Cal -  The Rams made it pretty clear that they are drafting their QB of the future when they gave up so many draft picks to move up, and that guy will be Jared Goff. I believe that the Rams coaching staff and front office will feel as though Goff will be more like the QB they want; a guy that will sit in the pocket and rip you to shreds. Not to say that Wentz can’t be that, I just think Goff will be able to do that to a higher level, and sooner. Philadelphia Eagles (From Cleveland) – Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State -  With one QB defin...
