You can almost hear the NFL Network’s own amazement at itself.
Yes, the man says, Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth made his first top 100 players list as voted by the players themselves for the first time. No. 67, revealed this week.
Never mind that in 2014 profootballfocus.com rated him the best overall tackle in the game and best pass blocker, allowing no sacks and one hit on quarterback Andy Dalton.
Never mind that this past season PFF put him at Nos. 4 and 9, respectively. And never mind that Whitworth has hardly flinched since the Bengals put him at left tackle in 2009.
