Ladies and gentleman, it's that time of the year again. To break up the monotony of the agonizingly long NFL offseason, I'll be rolling out my picks for the best players in the NFL heading into the 2016 season with my fourth annual Position Ranking Series. The series will be released in individual posts over the course of the next three or four weeks and will cover every position on offense, defense and special teams. Feel feel to post any praise or disdain for my picks in the comment section below or tweet them to me at @cmaitlandmm. Hope all of you fine people enjoy the onslaught of lists in the coming weeks!
Notes/Rules for the Position Ranking Series (copy/pasted from last year):
1.Rookies are excluded from these rankings
2.Each player is judged on where they currently stand in my opinion, not the player they once were, are going to be, etc.
3.Each player is listed as member of the team they will play for in 2016, not who they played for in 2015.
