Top 10 PLayers at Each Position: The NFL's Elite in 2009!

Here are the top 10 players at each position.

QB

1. Peyton Manning: Don't let his slow start to the 2008 season fool you, Peyton Manning can still get it done through the air.

2. Drew Brees: I need not explain why he is No. 2.  Despite his near record setting season with over 5,000 yards passing it is hard to believe that he will do it again.

3. Philip Rivers:  Rivers showed people that the Charger offense wasn't just a running offense posting great numbers with over 4,000 yards passing, plus with a healthy Chris Chambers it will be almost impossible to stop this Charger Offense.

4. Donovan McNabb:  McNabb is almost back to the good old days, before T.O. and the injuries.  I think that with a revamped receiving core he will be one of the elite passers in the NFL.

5. Eli Manning: Manning missed his star receiver for most of the 2008 season leaving him with the numbers that you wouldn't expect from a pro-bowl QB.  However with the additions of Hakeem Nicks and the 6'6 Ramses Barden Manning will have little trouble finding good, reliable, open wide outs.

6. Ben Roethlisberger:  Though Big Ben didn't dazzle in '08 he showed potential.  his TD/INT was pretty bad at 17/15 but he did show promise in the Super Bowl.

7. Aaron Rogers: In his first season as the starting QB Rogers showed that Green Bay had a star right away! Now that Roger has had a year to settle in this may be a huge year for the former first rounder!

8. Tony Romo: The loss of T.O. did hurt the Cowboys passing game however they still have Jason Witten and a former Pro-Bowler in Roy Williams.

9. Matt Ryan: After an excellent rookie season Ryan is looking to become an elite QB and it seams as though he will have no trouble with the addition of Tony Gonzalez.

10. Jay Cutler: Jay Cutler will have some trouble adapting to life in Chicago especially because of the lack of talent at the receiver position.  However Cutler is a great passer who will be able to get the ball to the speedy Devon Hester and look for Juaquin Iglesias to get a lot of touches as well.

RB

1. Adrian Peterson: Do I even have to explain? 

2. Clinton Portis: Portis showed signs of slowing down towards the end of the 2008 season but he has been working hard this season and is said to be in top shape.

3. Michael Turner: Turner had an excellent season in 2008 posting more than 1,600 yards and more than ten touchdowns, this will be a great season for him.

4. DeAngelo Williams: Williams had over 1,500 yards rushing this season with almost 18 touchdowns, look for him to get more touches and for the offensive production to continue. 

5. Brandon Jacobs:
