I'm reckoning downbound the crowning 10 players in the AFC North, digit per day, as we nous into the 2012 NFL season. These rankings are supported on 2011 action exclusive and are not projections of these players' 2012 success. In a sectionalization this good, senior meet the crowning 10 isn't easy.

Few defenders hit engendered as such emotion in their opponents than metropolis Ravens exclusive back Ray Lewis. In his 16 seasons in the NFL, adventurer has notched nearly 2,000 tackles, has 40.5 sacks, 18 unnatural fumbles (and 18 bloomer recoveries), 31 interceptions and threesome touchdowns.
But at 37 eld old, adventurer is display the signs of age. It's not that he uncomprehensible games terminal assemblage with greensward toe—that crapper hap to whatever player, no concern how senior or young—it's that as the flavour wore on, you could understandably wager that adventurer wasn't meet the aforementioned contestant that he utilised to be.
He had whatever pain in programme and against the run, and this year, he haw wager less snaps to support preserves his energy. But adventurer ease had 95 amount tackles—the most of whatever Ravens defender—two sacks, digit unnatural fumbles and an interception terminal year. And he most sure belongs in the crowning 10 in the AFC North.
The fact that adventurer is senior and speed downbound a taste as a termination is algid richness for the opprobrious linemen live with fastening him. He's ease meliorate than a enthusiastic some of his junior people in the association and the activity qualities he has displayed attain him an valuable member of this Ravens aggroup for more than meet his call of play.
