Best Players In NFL As Of Now (2012)

Nah, Jennings is definitely legit and has been since probably his 2nd year in the league.

There's not one route on the WR Route Tree that he can't run, has good hands, gets YAC constantly, scores TDs etc. I love Smitty and have for his entire career but if you looked at Jennings over the last few years, it's getting harder not to put him in Top 5 WR Discussion.

He doesn't get alot of recognizition because he's not flashy or loud or make the jaw dropping plays like some of the others I mentioned but he gets the job done AND then some as well, year in/year out.

Only reason I didn't metion nick Collins was because he didn't play this past year much at all, otherwise he's a stud. Then again I did mention Peyton manning soo yea my mistake.

At this point for me, Jennings is a no brainer top 5 WR.

All you need to do is look at his stats and compare his to other WR's. He's definitely in the top 5 and has been awhile. I think a year or two ago, he had the same amount of TD's as Megatron.

If its overall WR I'd go (in order)

Andre Johnson
Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Wes Welker
Steve Smith

Roddy White
Greg Jennings

I like Greg Jennings but IDK hes no brainer for sure top 5. Alot of good receivers out there.

He seems like he's just getting better every year and he's only 22.

In 2011 from the tight end position, he had the 5th most yards per route run, 4th most receiving yards per game and 4th most touchdowns.

Last season, he forced more missed tackles after the catch than any other tight end or wide receiver.

He's extremely versatile lining up out wide, in the slot, as a tight end, and in the full back and running back position.

And if it wasn't for the mcl sprain that caused him to miss two weeks, I think he would have had 1000 receiving yards.

Ultimately, people will knock on him because he's playing with Gronkowski. But he looks good on the field and his abilities stand out.

Just check some of these plays out:

Can he block? I prefer TEs with a complete game.

[Chrisksaint]

Since were now discussing WRs I'd go

1. Larry Fitzgerald(give him a QB and he's still the best imo)
2. Calvin Johnson
3. Andre Johnson
4. Wes Welker
5. Steve Smith

I'd have Greg Jennings/Colston tied at 6th. I'll probably make a full list later

Me personally, I need more than 1 1/2-2 seasons of work before I can put him in the Top 5.

Nice to see that Kam Chancellor/Earl Thomas are getting a bit of recognition. I think they will be/are one of the top safety combos in the league this year.
