You won't see a kneel-down-and-pray quarterback who plays like a fullback on this list in an attempt to draw in eyeballs.

You won't see some pet-project guard who, through television broadcast reviews and number crunching, some say had his best season.

Nope, this is my list. It's based on eyes (mine), ears (listening to scouts) and hours of watching tape.

If you're looking for conventional lists, look elsewhere. You won't find Tim Tebow, nor would you find him in my list of the top 300 players in the NFL. You also won't like where some of the perceived stars are placed and, yes, I still think Troy Polamalu is overrated.

This is a list based on actual football evaluation hea

ding into the 2012 season. Injured stars who are out for the season -- or likely out for the season -- won't be on this list. That means Eagles tackle Jason Peters and Ravens outside linebackerTerrell Suggs, two sure top-20 players, aren't included.

So dig in and enjoy. And compare it to those other lists out there and get as fired up as you want.

It's just an opinion. So don't beat me up too badly.
