A look at who the NFL’s Top De Numbers are and how they got there.

This position is typically inhabited by larger and more powerful players than either their teammates on the offensive line or their counterparts in the front seven of the opposing defense. These players usually line up on either side of the defensive line, outside of the tackle box and are sometimes referred to as edge rushers.

In simple terms, a running back (RB) is an offensive back who lines up behind the quarterback and who is responsible for carrying the ball on running plays. Running backs also sometimes catch passes out of the backfield and are sometimes used as blockers. The running back position is one of the more physically demanding positions in football, as they are often required to do a great deal of blocking and to run with the ball for long periods of time.

In media circles, discussions about the NFL’s top players at each position usually start and end with quarterbacks and running backs. While those two offensive positions are important, they aren’t nearly as important as some think. In fact, in today’s NFL, tight ends have become vital to success on offense.
Tight ends are bigger and stronger than ever before and they have the speed to run like wide receivers. They can block like offensive linemen and they can catch like wide receivers. In short, they are a hybrid position that has become essential to success in today’s NFL.

1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
2. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

In the NFL, defense refers to the stance taken by a team when it is playing on defense, i.e. when it is trying to prevent the other team from scoring. A team’s defensive players line up behind its offensive line at the start of each play, and they attempt to stop the other team’s offensive players from gaining ground or from catching passes.
There are two main types of defense in the NFL: base defense and nickel defense. Base defense refers to the basic alignment of a team’s defensive players. Nickel defense is a variation of base defense that involves substituting an additional defensive back (the “nickelback”) for a linebacker.

Special Teams
There are many ways to measure the success of a team, but one aspect that is often forgotten is special teams. This is the group that handles the kicking and punting duties, as well as returns kicks and punts. They are often overlooked, but they can be the difference between winning and losing.
In the NFL, there are a few players who stand out above the rest when it comes to special teams. These are the guys who make the big plays when it matters most. Here are some of the top performers in the league:
– Matthew Slater, New England Patriots: Slater is a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro. He is widely considered to be the best special teams player in the NFL.
– Jarvis Landry, Miami Dolphins: Landry is one of the best return men in the league. He has four punt return touchdowns in his career, which is tied for the most in NFL history.
– Cordarrelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings: Patterson is one of the most explosive players in the league. He has six kickoff return touchdowns in his career, which is tied for second most all-time.
– Dwayne Harris, New York Giants: Harris is another dangerous return man. He has four punt return touchdowns and two kickoff return touchdowns in his career.
