For Brown himself, his first entry on the top 100 comes with little fanfare. He’s been in the league long enough now (this fall will be his seventh season) to have shifted his priorities.

“That’s Right on, but I mean, I’ll chase a little more than that these days,” Brown responded. Still, he admitted, there is something to be said for having one’s name on a list voted on by peers that only 6 percent of the league will make.

“It’s not to throw shade on that,” he said. “I mean to be within the top 100 guys in the best football league in the world, you can’t hate something like that. But you know, now I just feel so many more team aspirations and so many more personal aspirations like, I’m glad to be a part of it, but,” … he shrugged, the message on his face making it clear he’d move on quickly.
