Pro Football Focus's Top NFL Players For 2015-16 (Offense)

If you read this blog, you know all about ProFootballFocus.com and their controversial grading scale they use to determine how a certain player performed during every game. These guys watch A LOT of tape on players and then use that information to give them a numbered grade depending on how well they played/didn't play in that particular game. It's a system that definitely has it's problems when it comes to certain positions (QB's), but there are certain positions (OL) where the grading system works extremely well.

With that said, it's about time to check in on who PFF has ranked as the best/worst players of the 2015-16 NFL season so far. Why? Because it provides an interesting topic to discuss and that's what we are all about here at THE ULTIMATE SPORTS BLOG!
