Seven Steelers Make CBS Sportsline’s List of Top 100 NFL Players

Seven Steelers litter the list of the Top 100 Current NFL Players, put out by Pete Prisco of CBS Sportsline. Starting with QB Ben Roethlisberger and ending with WR Mike Wallace, two players not on the list stick out – WR Hines Ward and RB Rashard Mendenhall.

21. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers: He has won two Super Bowls and played in another. After his four-game suspension last season, he played at a high level. He truly does seem like a changed person.

24. James Harrison, OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers: He continued to play at a high level in 2010. He still plays with a nasty streak, even though he’s been fined a ton. Sees a lot of doubles.

28. Troy Polamalu, S, Pittsburgh Steelers: He is a tad overrated: and some will scoff that he’s not in the top 10, but I think he is off some in coverage at times. He also played poorly in the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

41. LaMarr Woodley, OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers: He had double-digit sacks for the third consecutive season and continues to be a nice bookend opposite James Harrison. He had more pressures than Harrison during the season.

44. Maurkice Pouncey, C, Pittsburgh Steelers: From opening day, he was a dominant player. The Steelers rave about the way he picked up the mental side of things.

55. Lawrence Timmons, ILB, Pittsburgh Steelers: He gets lost playing in between LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison, but he emerged last season as a special player. His speed allows him to cover a lot of ground.

89. Mike Wallace, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers: He piled up 1,186 yards on 62 catches, which shows his big-play ability. He also had nine touchdowns and should be even better with his quarterback for a full season.
