Ill kick it off......
Offense
1. Peyton Manning/QB/Colts
2. Kurt Warner/QB/Cardinals
3. Tom Brady/QB/Patriots
4. Drew Brees/QB/Saints
5. Andre Johnson/WR/Texans
My top 5 is QB heavy. Rounding out my top 5 though is Andre Johnson. I know some people would say hey if you are gonna pick a WR to throw in a top 5 for offense why not Fitz or Calvin? They are both good choices but I really think Andre Johnson still doesnt get the respect he should in Houston. I believe this year he will help lead the Texans on a playoff run.
Defense
1. DeMarcus Ware/OLB/Cowboys
2. James Harrison/OLB/Steelers
3. Albert Haynesworth/DT/Redskins
4. Mario Williams/DE/Texans
5. Ed Reed/S/Ravens
There was alot of possible choices on defense and I narrowed them down to these 5 players. Ed Reed beat out Troy Polamalu for the last spot on these rankings.
So those are my rankings. How about yours?

Fitzgerald is better than Johnson and Adrian Peterson has got to be in the discussion.
Kurt Warner?
Patrick Willis is a monster
Jared Allen
