I became a die hard fan in 2003. I can’t say I’m confident in ranking guys I watched prior to that point, as I was extremely casual and also a child. That said, on the defensive side:
Derrick Johnson
Justin Houston
Chris Jones
Eric Berry
L’jarius Sneed
Honorable mentions to Hali and Jared Allen but I’m a big fan of “peak” arguments and these guys have peaked the highest or were extremely good for an extended period of time.
On offense, I’d say:
Mahomes
Kelce
Shields
Tyreek Hill
Tony Gonzalez
Honorable mentions to Roaf, Priest Holmes, Jamaal Charles, Larry Johnson and Kareem Hunt.
We’ve really been fortunate with offenses this century. When Jamaal Charles doesn’t even make a “peak” guy’s top 5, you know we had some stacked offenses. I just couldn’t put him above Mahomes for obvious reasons, two top 3 TEs, of all time, one of the best guards of all time who retired a Chief with 223 consecutive starts, and probably the most electric playmaker in league history in Tyreek.
