For those not familiar with the website, they literally watch every snap of every game and grade out all 22 players on the field for every play of the season. Sometimes they get some controversial rankings(like they constantly talk about how overrated Pouncey was as a rookie) but they really do their homework and are always happy to back it up with stats and reasoning.

Pretty awesome we have seven guys on the list. I wonder where that ranks amongst teams? I have to assume it is first or very close to it.

I also think it shows just how important Sitton is to this team and how underrated he is even by our own fans. He is an absolutely monster at RG. I also think it shows just how good Desmond Bishop is... People don't really rank him up there with our 'star players', but that guy had a great year.

Sad to see Raji, Clifton, Collins and Woodson be left off.

48. Josh Sitton, RG, Green Bay Packers
We were suitably impressed with Sitton throughout the season that he was our consensus All Pro choice at right guard. He really didn’t have anything to prove. Then the playoffs came and he was superb throughout, with a +1.8 rating being his lowest. That series of performances allayed any fears I had over his run blocking, which was good but not great until then. He’s on another level than all other guards with his pass protection.
Best Performance: Week 4 versus Detroit (+5.5)
Key Stat: Gave up one sack all year. In the Super Bowl.

Now we just need to extend Mr. Sitton.

Thought Clay would be higher

Top 100 = top 6% of the league so anyone on that list is pretty damn impressive.

Is this a point based ranking? From the descriptions of players, it seems to include playoffs. Are the Packers ranked high partly because they had 4 extra games over some players?

OR maybe we are the Superbowl champions because we have so many playmakers 8-)

They grade every player at every position on their website, they have a membership based system and I won't pay for a membership but they watch every play on film multiple times on every single game and grade out every player. I'm sure they have some sort of grading system but I don't know what exactly it is.
