It's that time of year when the NFL Network has begun their countdown of the top 100 players of the league, based on voting from players (I'm not sure how many vote; that's always been a little bit of a mystery.) The first Cardinal showed up Wednesday at No. 71, when Calais Campbell -- listed by the Cardinals as a defensive tackle, listed in the video as a defensive end -- was named. It was a nice jump for Campbell, who was No. 99 on the same list this time last year.

Campbell should be the first of a handful of Cardinals on the list, based on what the team did last season. Patrick Peterson and Larry Fitzgerald will repeat on the list, Tyrann Mathieu should be on there and it's hard to think Carson Palmer wouldn't make an appearance. Ten more players are unveiled every Wednesday.
