Best NFL Players of 2017 - 2018
The favorite sport of many, a sport where
agility and strength is demonstrated in its maximum expression, without doubt
one of the best.
That's why today I bring you the best players
of the NFL in this 2017 and part of 2018
10 - J.J. Watt, DE, Houston
Missed almost all of last season following back
surgery. Should return to Defensive Player of the Year form — an award he has
already won three times.
9 - Aaron Donald, DT, Los Angeles Rams
He remained the NFL’s most disruptive interior
lineman in 2016. Will transition to 3-4 end under new Rams defensive
coordinator Wade Phillips, but no change expected to penetrating style of play.
8 - Luke Kuechly, ILB, Carolina
Nobody better when healthy, but concussions
becoming a major concern for career longevity. Missed final six games after
suffering latest head trauma against New Orleans.
7 - Eric Berry, S, Kansas City
Overcame cancer on road to becoming
highest-paid safety in NFL history after signing six-year, $78 million contract
in the offseason. Money well earned after another stellar 2016 campaign
highlighted by scoring eight points individually in road win over Atlanta.
6 - Le’Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh
No running back is more patient in allowing
holes to open before exploding through them. Fastest player to ever reach 3,000
rushing and 1,500 receiving yards — at 38 career games.
5 - Von Miller, OLB, Denver
Athlon Sports 2017 NFL Preview MagazineSigning
a massive contact extension in 2016 offseason didn’t create complacency.
Finished with double-digit sacks (13.5) for fifth time in past six seasons.
4 - Khalil Mack, DE, Oakland
Won NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors
despite a lack of pass-rushing support from teammates. Accounted for 11 of
Oakland’s league-low 25 sacks.
3 - Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta
All-time NFL leader in average career receiving
yards per game (96.3) topped the league in that category once again in 2016.
Became sixth player in league history with 300-plus receiving yards in a single
game last season versus Carolina.
2 - Tom Brady, QB, New England
A season that opened with a four-game
Deflategate suspension couldn’t have ended any sweeter — with Super Bowl LI MVP
honors. Shows no signs of slowing down as he reaches age 40.
1 - Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay
The passer with the top quarterback rating in
NFL history (104.1) remained dominant. Led NFL with 40 touchdown passes and
guided Packers to eight straight wins before NFC title game loss.
