#24

Number 24 on my countdown of the Top 25 greatest NFL players is Darrell Green. This one might come as a surprise to many people, because he is also one of my least favorite players. The fact that I dislike him so much pretty much says how great he is. If he were not so great, I wouldn't dislike him so much. I cannot argue with 20 outstanding seasons as the Redskins top cornerback. He was also the fastest man in the NFL, even in his 20th year. The man had an interception in every single season, and he won two Superbowls. I can't argue against him being in the top 25, and the 10th best defensive player ever.

Top 25 NFL Players

So I've decided to do a top 25 NFL players of all time countdown since training camp starts soon. My factors were winning, leadership, impact on the game, and memorability. Who are the players that come to mind when you think about who are the greatest players of all time? Winning was a very important factor, only 3 players made my list who did not win at least 1 championship. These players made it because they were so great, that they could not be left off the list for not winning a championship.

At number 25, we have Tom Brady. His 3 Super Bowls, and leadership of the Patriots
make him a top 25 player. The reason he is not higher is because he does not have the numbers yet, except for the 2007-2008 season, to be as high as the other quarterbacks on the list.
