Hanley: Who would you start a NFL team with?
Interesting poll in Sports Illustrated this
week. A survey of 272 National Football League players
were asked what player they would pick first if they were
building a team from scratch.
According
to SI, seven of the top 10 vote-getters and 10 of the top 15 play quarterback.
Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (4%) was the only defensive player to make
the top 10 in this poll.
