It’s the day before the Super Bowl, which also means its Pro Football Hall of Fame election day. And it also means that we’re inevitably not going to agree with the five, six or seven people the committee votes into Canton. Part of the problem is that they’re limited by that number. Other than the 10 votes per person rule, there’s no limit in place for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. There are only nine starters per team in a baseball game. Yet football has this ridiculously low limit despite the fact that there are 22 starters per team in the NFL. That’s 704 starters each week.

Among the things I received for Christmas this year was the new Sports Illustrated book “Football’s Greatest.” It had a bunch of Top 10 lists ranking all kids of football-related things, from the best uniforms and games to coaches and rivalries. The book also featured the panel’s Top 10 list of all-time bests at each position. Along with the obvious Hall of Famers, there were a bunch of active players included as well. And that got me thinking: Who are the greatest players in the NFL right now?
