NFL Network is down to the Top 10 of The Top 100 Players of 2012, a 10-part series determined by the votes of active players (more on that later).

First ask yourself which player on the Baltimore Ravens' roster do you hold in the highest regard? Ray Lewis? Ed Reed? Terrell Suggs, the 2011 defensive player of the year? Ray Rice?

According to the league's players, the answer is E) none of the above.

MORE TOP 100: 100-91 | 90-81 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21

Players 11 through 20 were revealed Wednesday night, and Baltimore DL Haloti Ngata was not among them, meaning he's the only Raven to crack the Top 10.

For those who follow the NFL, it's not a shock, particularly with the odometer running and wear mounting on Lewis and Reed. But Ngata has become a dominant force in his own right, and his ability to command multiple blockers helps fuel the success of his more high-profile teammates. The rankings of Suggs (No. 11), Reed (16) and Lewis (20) were announced Wednesday; Rice, Vonta Leach and Joe Flacco were listed outside the Top 20.

Other interesting nuggets: Saints TE Jimmy Graham (No. 14), 49ers DL Justin Smith (17) and Eagles RB LeSean McCoy all made the cut after missing it entirely in 2011.
