Top Ten NFL Players of 2012

The Top Ten
1 Calvin Johnson Calvin Johnson Jr. is a retired American football wide receiver who played his entire career for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League. He is often called the nickname ''Megatron'' for his rare combination of size, speed, and leaping ability on the field.

The stats and his size speak for themselves, and then there's the intangibles, like the fact that he still makes plays in triple coverage. I would say he will be historical top 5 material as a receiver.

I love CJ but what about Ray Rice, Marshawn Lynch, Cam Newton, or any of those guys?

CJ rocks he should be called CJ2K

2 Tom Brady Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., is a retired American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Brady is known for being the only quarterback in history to win 7 Super Bowls, and was often considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Brady was also frequently considered to be the biggest steal in NFL history as a late 6th round pick. He had previously played for the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2019.

Come on 50td passes in one season this guy is the best there is I think he will win the super bowl once more b4 he retires

3 Adrian Peterson Adrian Lewis Peterson is an American football running back who originally played for the Minnesota Vikings and currently plays for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.

What this beeping list is beeping stuiped number 5 AP is the best he put the whole team on his back and got a record of 10 and 6 and he is number 5 disgracful

Dragged his team to the play offs coming off an ACL tear, #1

2,000 yards almost broke a record

2000 YARDS!? He should be #1!

4 Eli Manning Elisha Nelson "Eli" Manning is a former American football quarterback who played his entire career for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He is the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
5 Drew Brees Drew Christopher Brees is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He is the only player to have back to back to back 5,000 yards in three seasons straight. Brees also has the all time best completion percentage with 66.95%.

WHAT! Eli Manning is before Drew Brees, That's a bunch of bull that's Drew Brees spot I don't care if Eli was in the super bowl also getting the MVP award is not a reason why he should be up there Quarterbacks almost always get MVP

He broke a record shouldn't he be either #1 or #2 at least

6 J. J. Watt Justin James "J. J." Watt is an American football defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Texans with the 11th pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and played college football at Wisconsin. ...read more.

One of the best defensive seasons ever.

7 Maurice Jones-Drew

I truly believe he is the best in the game, and while many people would argue for others who are faster or have better numbers, I call a Barry Sanders dilemma, because this man plays for the worst offense in the nation, and still dominates. Case closed.

8 Richard Sherman Richard Kevin Sherman is an American football cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
9 Matt Ryan Matthew Thomas "Matt" Ryan, nicknamed "Matty Ice," is an American football quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League.
10 DeMarcus Ware

First of all Demarcus Ware is amazing I'll bet he could average sacking 30 per game second of all why is Eli manning and Maurice jones drew ifront of him... LIKE really. N

The Contenders
11 Peyton Manning Peyton Williams Manning is a former American football quarterback who played 18 seasons in the National Football League for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.
12 Larry Fitzgerald Larry Darnell Fitzgerald Jr. is an American football wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. Fitzgerald was drafted 3rd overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2004, he is considered to be one of the best players of his position to never win a Super Bowl.
13 Geno Atkins
14 Patrick Willis Patrick L. Willis is a former American football inside linebacker who played his entire eight-year career with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
15 Matthew Stafford John Matthew Stafford is an American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League. The #1 overall pick in 2009 selected by The Detroit Lions, Stafford has a critical acclaim in his stats. Stafford is the fastest player in NFL history to reach 30,000 passing yards. In 2016, he also broke the record for most comebacks in a season with eight. Stafford maybe one of the better Lions Quarterbacks in recent memory, but his record on the road against winning teams may haunt him with the 5-46 record. He also one of two veteran active quarterbacks to have never won a playoff game the other being Andy Dalton. In 2021, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.

He should NOT be top ten. He is in the 90's or not even on the list. He has poor performances and he plays well inconsistently. He is not a great player at all.

5000+ Passing yards. 23 years old. Scary huh?

16 Cameron Wake Derek Cameron Wake is an American football defensive end for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League.
17 Jared Allen Jared Scot Allen is a former professional American football defensive end. After playing college football for Idaho State University for four years, he was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

69! 22 Sacks! Keeps Minnesota's defense from being all but terrible! Things I love about Jared Allen...

18 Robert Griffin III Robert Lee Griffin III, nicknamed RG3, is an American football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.
19 Julius Peppers
20 Steve Smith Steve Smith, Sr. is an American football wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.
21 Haloti Ngata Etuini Haloti Ngata is an American football defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League.
22 Brian Urlacher Brian Urlacher is a former American football middle linebacker who spent his entire 13-year career playing for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League.

He should be in the top ten because he is like a coach for the Chicago bears and if it were not for him we would not have the great record that we are having right now. He could even compare us to the 85 bears and he could even give uss all the support so that we could get our second super bowl at the same spot where we got it at, the home of the saints.

23 Tim Tebow Timothy Richard Tebow is an American professional baseball outfielder in the New York Mets organization and a former professional American football player in the National Football League.
24 Ray Rice Raymell Mourice Rice (born January 22, 1987) is a former American football running back who played his entire professional career with the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Rutgers and was drafted by the Ravens in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He is ranked as the Ravens' second all-time leading rusher behind Jamal Lewis, and is also second in rushing attempts and touchdowns, and third in combined touchdowns. He was a member of the 2012 Ravens team that won Super Bowl XLVII. ...read more.
