Tramon Williams in Peter King's top 20

Peter King listed his top 20 players today, and Tramon Williams came in at #16. Good for Peter for acknowledging Tramon's excellence. He also has Aaron Rodgers at #2 (behind only Tom Brady), and Clay Matthews at #11.

The players' top 20 had Rodgers at #11, Charles Woodson at #16, and Matthews at #18. Williams failed to make their top 100. I don't know where King ranked Woodson, but I think his list is more accurate. He ranked the players on their current impact more than their reputations.

I didn't think this should be in the Packers section so...

It was a toss, an internal toss up, lol.

I was surprised to see Tramon Williams being touted as 3rd best CB in the NFL. It's cool, I just don't think it's yet deserved.

Which cornerbacks are better? Revis and Nnamdi get the credit, but Revis had a slow start last season and Nnamdi isn't exactly a playmaker. I'm not saying he is better than those guys, but in terms of the 2010-2011 season I think Williams had a better year. I'm not suprised to see him on King's top 20 because in my opinion Williams had the best year of any cornerback in football last year. The question is can he continue to play at that level?

He also has added value in that he returns punts.

Even tho he is complimenting a Packer, I don't listen to a think Peter Kings says.

Woah, I did not know that! It's especially impressive considering that he only started about half those games. Where did you find that stat?

I think it's pretty awesome that Tramon is getting recognition. Give it one more year and he'll be on the top of the fans and players lists as well. Also, ARod coming in at #2 on King's list is fun to see.

Yeah, I'm thinking the Pro Bowl selections and media accolades are going to start rolling in for a lot of our guys now. I'm almost kind of upset about it, to be honest.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
