It’s time to identify the top 100 players in the NFL, this time Nos. 80 through 71.
For what feels like the umpteenth season in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to live up to their potential in 2020.

The 2020 season offered some strong play from the defensive backs. As we continue our trip around the gridiron, here are the top 10 defensive backs for the past season.

Every year the NFL Network does its top 100 countdown based on the previous season. However, that’s the past, and we want to look forward to the future. Four of our writers have put together a 14 part series, predicting our top 10 at each position.
Following a winning effort that included four tackles, a scoop-and-score, and a game-winning interception, Minkah Fitzpatrick continues to prove to
What a crazy week two! A lot of big names players on the offensive side of the ball suffering injuries. Hopefully, your IDP guys made up for those points you missed out on and covered those margins that could’ve hurt you. I know my guys did, when Drew Brees went down Alvin Kamara seemed to fall off. Thankfully my IDP guys picked up the slack.
According to various reports, ESPN’s including Cameron Wolfe, the Miami Dolphins are allowing second-year defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick to look for a team to be traded to. The New York Jets should be in the mix and should absolutely do everything they can to trade for the young defensive back.
