Incorrect sir...look at the stats again by position...there are 3 OLBS in front of him IN THE AFC but no DEs there in lies the distinction. And as far as I know the OLBs don't qualify for the DE rankings anymore than a CB qualifies as a S. But in case you want to check yourself try to vote for Joey Porter as a DE, and let me know if you can. While you are at it throw a ballot for Johnson, Daniels, Slaton and Ryans.
