The NFL's Top 100

They are the names that football fans will never forget. They played for the Chicago Bears. The New York Giants. The Pittsburgh Steelers. They were quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. Some played for five or six seasons, others for as many as eighteen or nineteen. Some started their careers back in the early days of the NFL, while others are still active today. They are our heroes. They are the NFL's top 100, the greatest players of all time.

In this stunning, full-color companion to the NFL Network's 100 Greatest Players series, readers will relive the physical feats and hard-won triumphs of those who have most memorably dominated the gridiron. An insightful narrative accompanies more than 200 spectacular photos of such inspiring players as Joe Montana, Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath, and many others. And with the help of an introduction that explains the criteria used and the selection process, readers will not only learn who the best players are, they'll learn why they are as well.

A must-have collector's item for every football fan, The NFL's Top 100 is the definitive collection of football's finest.
