I think Allen, Howard, and Humphrey are a little too high on that list, and Williams is too low.

Allen is right where he needs to be. It's a rarity to have a defensive lineman who can stop the run, rush the passer AND play all 3 downs. Saves the NFL team a coveted roster spot with a multi faceted player like Allen. JMO..

Ryan Anderson should be on that list.

The 2017 NFL draft will be in Philly. They will have the draftees walk up the Rocky steps at the art museum. Can't wait to see the Bama parade climb those steps.
