Like 2 people went for Manning and frankly even Montana getting 4 at this point is hard to fathom. Lewis not even getting half of the votes at LB was a bit of surprise for me, especially since he was still 10 clear of Butkus (same with Jim Brown as he seems like the clear choice at RB to me and Faulk, Tomlinson, and Dickerson got 4 votes between them which is just strange). Tucker nearly being the GOAT kicker when he may not even be half way through his career at this point was also a bit of surprise.
LT was the best LB.White was the best DE.
Offense gets it right with 7 positions: QB, RB, WR, TE, T, G, CBut defense should not have just 5 positions. There are 7: DE, DT, NG, ILB, OLB, CB, S. Maybe they combine DT and NG but there should be at least 6 positions on the defensive side and I think 7 would be better. But how dear you give those defensive lineman so much run. Lol.Why they didn't separate the defensive positions like they did the offense makes little sense.

They did get lazy on this. No reason they couldn't have just done every position i.e. QB, WR, RB, FB, TE, RT, LT, LG, RG, C and DE, DT, OLB, ILB, CB, S, K, P, Returner, Special Teamer
