Several Falcons Make CBS Sports Top 100

Take a look back at some of the best photos from the Falcons' three-day minicamp held at team headquarters in Flowery Branch last week

The Falcons have so far been blanked on the NFL's list of Top 100 Players of 2014 as that countdown enters the top 20, but CBSSports.com's Pat Kirwan released his list Tuesday and it features three times as many Falcons as the NFL's list.

Julio Jones, Matt Ryan and Roddy White were all named to Kirwan's top 100 — actually, top 50, if you're keeping score at home.

Jones is Kirwan's highest-ranked Falcon, coming in at No. 25, just behind Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald.

Ryan and White go back-to-back at Nos. 47 and 48, respectively, for Kirwan, just before Colts QB Andrew Luck and Seattle signal-caller Russell Wilson.

UPDATE (1:41 p.m.) - CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco also put together a list of his top 100 players heading into the 2014 season, and he also names three Falcons to the list but differs slightly from Kirwan.

Prisco places Jones at No. 15, citing an anonymous NFL GM that "would take Julio over all the other guys except Calvin Johnson if he's healthy. Look what he did before he got hurt last year. He's a monster."

Ryan comes in at No. 55, and cornerback Desmond Trufant makes an appearance near the end of the list at No. 93. White was not ranked by Prisco.
