When it comes to highlighting top NFL talent, league-wide evaluations are the norm -- meaning some of the better players in each division are often overlooked. With his divisional all-star series, Dave Dameshek will be taking a deeper dive into the NFL's elite, putting together the best squad po sible from each division -- continuing with Jeff Smith Jersey the All-NFC North Team below.For additional analysis on this topic -- and a whole lot more -- .OFFENSEQuarterback: , I don't need to explain this one, do I? (Fine. He's the best QB in football. How's that?)Running back: , I'd like to install here, if only to honor the oft-underrated runner ... but let's not jive ourselves: Peterson is the top runner of the generation and an easy choice here.Wide receiver: , One could succe sfully argue that the first three players on our list are the best at their respective positions. Then again, for the most gifted pa s-catching specimen of the millennium, his production could stand to be a bit more consistent (especially with out there to distract attention).Wide receiver: , Speaking of production, very few Sheldon Rankins Jersey receivers have put up bigger numbers than the K-State product, who's averaged 11 TDs per season over the last four years.Wide receiver: , believes . I agree, mostly because -- depending on the week -- Jeffery has already spent time serving as the ' top dog.Tight end: , When he's not writing children's books or producing movies, the NFL's Renai sance Man continues to overmatch linebackers and safeties with his rare combo of size and athleticism.Tackle: , In the midst of the Motor City O-line makeover, there were rumors Reiff might move to the right side. Now debunked, we'll follow suit by using the talented fourth-year pro as the critical protector of Rodgers' blind side.Guard: , Remember when the ' O-line was a weak spot? Much to Rodgers' delight, that's a thing of the past -- thanks in part to this pa s-blocking specialist.Center: , Whether he was clearing a path for Peterson's 2,000-yard 2012 campaign or keeping rookie clean in '14, Sullivan has been the leader of the Vikes' line.Guard: , His ma sive presence upgraded Detroit's fortunes upon arrival two years ago, but knee injuries slowed him in 2014. The ' can jump in here if Warford isn't ready to go.Tackle: , Both our tackles went to Iowa, where they might as well just make Profe sional Offensive Lineman a major. For all the products that football factory puts out, though, the ' brain trust was wise to lock up Bulaga with a spendy new deal. Joe Klecko Jersey DEFENSEDefensive end: , You might have heard about - from the ' D-line, but let's not live life looking in the rear-view mirror. Detroit will be just fine, thanks to Ansah's star rising on the horizon.Defensive tackle: , Of course, for Ansah to really shine, Ngata will need to replicate the trademark dirty work he did in Baltimore, where all foes Ty Johnson Jersey were turned one-dimensional by the run stuffer who'll one day need to be fitted for a plus-sized gold blazer.Defensive tackle: , fans have been spoiled over the decades by high-quality defensive linemen, and this generation is no different, thanks to , and Floyd, whose mulligan of a second NFL season validated his first-round selection.Defensive end: , Twelve sacks over the last two seasons: nice. The fact Daniels hasn't peaked yet: even nicer.Outside linebacker: , Even if he winds up back on the inside for Green Bay, our divisional team requires his services in his more natural spot on the edge, to better terrorize QBs.Inside linebacker: , The tackling machine broke down . A suming his knee is fully repaired, he'll have even more energy to wrap up opposing ball carriers now that he (probably) won't be bothering with post-tackle celebrations Conor McDermott Jersey .Outside linebacker: , The rookie out of UCLA was just what Dr. Mike Zimmer ordered in 2014, providing the versatility and disruptive playmaking 21st-century defenses covet.Cornerback: , With gone, Hayward will be expected to elevate beyond his already-impre sive standard.Cornerback: , Rhodes is big, physical and emerging as one of the best cover corners in the game. Look for 2015 first-rounder to follow the same trajectory.Safety: , Now going into his fourth season, the safety out of Notre Dame is the leader of an emerging defense.Safety: , The ' ballhawk in 2014.SPECIAL TEAMSReturner: , He's fast.Kicker: , The former Bronco found new life in Detroit, where he went 9-for-13 from 40-plus.Punter: , He's the best of a mediocre group.Follow Dave Dameshek on Twitter . |
