Probably a bit more accurate, but the list is obviously skewed to the more modern players....Bill George in the 40's...really?

All those great players, but only one super bowl to show for it.

I totally agree with this. Singletary, Seau and Lewis are ranked way too low.
Lewis and Seau are both top 5 - replacing Hendricks and Brooks in positions 4 and 5. And Singletary should definitely be top 10.

Add to the fact Singletary won two DPOY awards. It's hard enough to do that once!

His teammates at Vocational were so afraid to be hit by him that they made Dick tackle trees.

Sounds like fans just voted based on familiarity with the names.

Junior Seau was a great football player, bt to me is the most overrated and overhyped of the recent era.

I like this list a lot. One of the best that I have seen. I can even live with Seau at 8. Seau was fast, instinctive and rugged. Hollywood guy so he is often mistakenly viewed as soft or overrated. But Seau was different. An animal. Lived and literally died for the game. But 8 is a spot I can see him at but definitely no lower.

Doug Buffone should be on the list.
