Who are your Top 5 players on Offense and Defense in the NFL?

Heres another thread to pass time until Training Camp starts. Who do you think are the top 5 players on offense and defense in the NFL? Hopefully with so many different choices we can get some good discussion in this thread.

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

Offense:

1) Peyton
2) Brady
3) Larry Fitzgerald
4) Steve Hutchinson
5) Adrian Peterson

Defense:

1) Albert Haynesworth
2) Nnamdi Asomugha
3) Troy Polamalu
4) Demarcus Ware
5) Kevin Williams

Offense
1. Drew Brees/QB/Saints - led the league in O despite not havin a ground game or great WR's,reason i gave him #1
2. Kurt Warner/QB/Cardinals
3. Tom Brady/QB/Patriots
4. Adrian Peterson/RB/Vikings
5. Larry Fitzgerald/WR/Cardinals
Defense
1. DeMarcus Ware/OLB/Cowboys
2. Ed Reed/S/Ravens
3. Albert Haynesworth/DT/Redskins
4. Joey Porter/OLB/Dolphins
5. Nnamdi Asomugha/CB/Raiders

Offense:
1) Sammy Baugh
2) John Riggins
3) Art Monk
4) The Hogs
5) Clint Didier

Defense:

4) Sammy Baugh
5) Dexter Manley

Offense:

1) Peyton Manning
2) Drew Brees
3) Randy Moss
4) Tom Brady
5) Larry Fitzgerald

There would probably a lot of lineman in 6-10, but I can't squeeze any into my top 5. I guess my No. 6 would be Jordan Gross or someone of the like.

Defense:

1) Nnamdi Asomugha
2) Albert Haynesworth
3) Justin Tuck
4) Terrell Suggs
5) Mario Williams/Darrelle Revis/James Harrison

Couldn't pick just one. Polamalu and Ed Reed would both be in the top ten.

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

I group Fitz, Andre, and Calvin all in the same boat. Peterson would be another choice at 5 for my rankings but I just like all the things Andre Johnson can do on the field.

I dont get why you would question Kurt Warner. Hes playing great in Arizona.

I agree Patrick Willis is a monster. He was one of several players I considered on defense. Jared Allen is a top defensive end but I couldnt put him in my top 5.

I dont get why you would question Kurt Warner. Hes playing great in Arizona.
