Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named the top player in the NFL today in a countdown voted on by the players for the NFL Network. Despite his No. 1 ranking, a spot ahead of Colts signal-caller Peyton Manning, Brady feels the Indianapolis star belongs ahead of him. "To me, he's the greatest of all time," Brady told NFL Network. "He's a friend of mine, and someone that I always watch and admire, because he always wants to improve, he always wants to get better, and he doesn't settle for anything less than the best. So, when you watch the best and you're able to learn from the best, hopefully that helps me get better."
