Steve Davis: Nice Honor For Yanda
Pro Football Focus just named its Top 101 Players in the NFL. Marshall Yanda came in 5th. Not 5th best offensive lineman. 5th best player.
Chris Harris, the cornerback from Denver was 4th. Justin Houston, who led the NFL in sacks, was third. Aaron Rodgers graded out 2nd, and no surprise, JJ Watt is #1.
Yanda has always graded out very highly in Pro Football Focus. How did the rest of the Ravens fare?
48 - Suggs
63 - Dumervil
68 - Osemele
73 - Will Hill
101 - Brandon Williams
I have to admit that you have to take this with a grain of salt. Suggs was not the 2nd best player on the Ravens. There are some notable admissions on this list. Hmmm, no Justin Forsett, CJ Mosley or Jimmy Smith. Will Hill had a better year as a safety than Flacco did as a quarterback? Really?
I am not quite sure what the criteria is, but it sure looks good to see Marshall Yanda ranked that high.
