Redskins linebacker London Fletcher didn't win an ESPN poll asking more than 320 players who the most respected player in the league was.
Peyton Manning won in a landslide, but we'll revisit that in a bit. Let's talk about Fletcher for a moment.
The top seven players were mostly a roll call of the league's most recognizable players. Manning was followed by Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. It looks more like a fantasy football draft than anything else.
But squeezed in that top seven between Brees and Rodgers on the list, getting 3.4 percent of the vote, was Fletcher. That's pretty remarkable, considering the rest of the list. And it's much deserved.
