Surprised this hasn't been linked, if it has I missed it. NaVorro makes the NFL Top100 list at No. 85. Here's the link to the video.

He should have made the Pro Bowl last year. He was great for th3 49ers and their defense last year. Let's hope he keeps it up.
If Lee stays healthy, he will be joining him on the list next year.

Wasn't he 1st team all-pro? Shouldn't that put him in top 22? Or close to it?

If I recall correctly, I think this was voted on by the players.

He was All Pro and I think should be a little higher up there.

It's amazing to me that he's gotten as much press as he has, playing next to Patrick Willis. Until/unless he gets out of that particular shadow, I'm not sure Bowman will ever be as appreciated by national pundits as he should be.

"Top" players is pretty subjective. What constitutes a "top" player? But no, I don't think even if he was first team all pro that means he HAS to be in the top 22. I haven't even looked at the list, but I'd wager a large amount of money that there's more than 1 QB in the top 22, even though only 1 can make first team all pro. Breneman is the top TE in the country according to most outlets. That doesn't mean he's in the top 22 overall.

There were a lot of games that he outplayed Willis. They work really well together and Bowman has really done well in pass coverage. Boman does not have to come off the field and has shown he is good against the run and pass. Plus, he can also blitz. He has a bright future.

If he didn't have nagging injuries his last year, he would have been drafted higher..

Love it, love it, love it. Bowman is a monster and he plays with tenacity. It is great to see our guys do so well. Oakland loves them so much they drafted 2 and picked up 1. (Crawford/Stupar-Powell) Seems likeDallas & Miami are buying into our players too!!!

... And when Willis missed some games, Bowman didn't miss a beat. I might hate tO$u but Larry Grant did great in relief for Willis during that stretch as well. A very easily overlooked / unheralded Buckeye LB. Strangely I'd take Grant over all the other Buckeye LBs in the league save Laurinitis.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT saying Bowman is better than Willis.
What I am saying is:
Bowman: 143 tackles 2.0 sacks 11 tackles for loss 8 Passes Defensed and 3 FRs
Willis: 97 tackles 2.0 sacks 12 tackles for loss 5 passes defensed 1 pick and 2 FRs.
Lets look at playoff production...
Bowman: 25 tackles and half a sack in two games...
Willis: 16 tackles and one sack.
Thats pretty good. As long as Bowman stays healthy he will keep getting closer to the top of that list.

Hopefully recruits and their mentors are keeping things like this in mind.
