Das sind die besten Footballspieler der Welt

Jedes Jahr in der Sommerpause veröffentlicht die National Football League (NFL) eine Liste, in der die derzeit besten Spieler der Liga gereiht werden. Ermittelt werden die Top 100 durch eine von der NFL organisierte Umfrage, an der sich alle aktiven Spieler der Liga beteiligen dürfen.
