A couple more New England Patriots have been added to the NFL Network's list of "The Top 100: Players of 2011." The rundown resumed Sunday night with Nos. 31 through 40. AFC East players on the list so far:
- 35. Vince Wilfork, Patriots nose tackle
- 39. Logan Mankins, Patriots left guard
- 47. Nick Mangold, Jets center
- 50. Wes Welker, Patriots receiver
- 61. Brandon Marshall, Dolphins receiver
- 62. Jerod Mayo, Patriots inside linebacker
- 63. Cameron Wake, Dolphins outside linebacker
- 76. Santonio Holmes, Jets receiver
- 79. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Jets tackle
One more Patriot has yet to be revealed, and we can safely assume who that will be.
The NFL Network also told us Wilfork is the second-rated nose tackle on the list. It looks like he's behind Baltimore Ravens plugger Haloti Ngata.
Mankins was the second-highest at his position behind New Orleans Saints guard Jahri Evans at No. 34. Mankins missed seven games last season because he was sitting out for Evans-type money.
Evans signed a seven-year contract worth $56.7 million in May 2010. The Patriots were able to extend a one-year, $3.26 million qualifying offer to Mankins last year because he was a restricted free agent. Mankins declined to sign it, permitting the Patriots to slash the offer to $1.54 million in June.
