Some solid QB's went from 21-30. Tom Brady was #21, John Elway #23, Dan Marino #25. Should be interesting to see the top 20 NFL players of all time.
It's a great series, and I've been in agreement with much of their rankings so far.

With active players, I think they should have erred on the conservative side. Having Brady at #21 at such a young age is a bit of a slap in the face to Elway and Marino in my mind. Same goes for Manning, who will no doubt be amont the top 20.

I thought ranking Deion Sanders ahead of Rod Woodson was a travesty.

It was great to see players like John Hannah and Merlin Olsen be recognized way up the list. Guys like that get forgotten too often.
