Coming in behind Suh was JJ Watt at 11 percent, Patrick Willis at eight percent and Mike Tolbert at six percent. One veteran defensive end did say in the poll, “Suh is tough, but I say Tolbert. He’s a tank and guys have been whispering that he’s been taking boxing classes, or MMA, or something. No way I’m pissing him off.”
The poll asked players a multitude of interesting questions. In a poll asking what quarterbacks are most and least deserving of $15 million or more a year salaries 33 percent said Jay Cutler was least deserving and 65 percent said Peyton Manning was most deserving. One poll asked players to fill in the blank, “The only way I’d play for (blank) is if they doubled my salary.” 23 percent said the Oakland Raiders.
Furthermore, a poll asked if the players would let they’re kids play football to which 91 percent said yes. While that’s a large percentage that still means seven players said no.
69 percent of players said that Johnny Manziel would not be a bust, 31 percent said Richard Sherman was the best cornerback in the league and 25 percent said the Broncos will win the super bowl this year.
