Probably just off the list as off now, but certainly could make the list at some point. Perhaps honorable mention at this time.
Vince Wilfork - 4 Pro Bowls in 9 years, and really has been the leader of the defense from the nose position during an almost complete overhaul (which is still in progress). He's been the immoveable rock in the middle on a defense on a team that has consistently been at the highest levels in the league for close to a decade. Not that the D is anything that stands out at this point, but he's the unquestioned leader on that side of the ball for quite a few years now. He has actually mentored the mentors (Mayo, Spikes, Chung, etc...) at this point. He's also one of the best at his position in the game and has been for most of his career.
Like I said. Probably outside the top-10 right now, but certainly in the argument, specially if you extend it out to 20.
I think there's other guys who haven't been mentioned that belong ahead of Vince. W. McGinnest and R. Harrison are 2 that come to mind. They were pro bowl players who played their best in big games. McGinnest being the NFL all time playoff sack leader is tough to leave off the list.
