From ESPN.com and Scouts Inc.'s ranking of all 106 Super Bowl XLII players from Brady to Spann - "In determining our rankings, we took into consideration the player's current performance, as well as his play throughout the season. A player's special teams contribution also influenced our decision."
| 1. | QB Tom Brady -- Patriots - Brady is without question the best quarterback in the NFL and is arguably the most outstanding player going into Super Bowl XLII. |
| 2. | WR Randy Moss -- Patriots - Moss is coming off a historic regular season, and every defense has to game plan around him. |
| 3. | DE Osi Umenyiora -- Giants - He was one of the toughest defensive ends to block this season. His combination of size, strength and athleticism draws many double-teams. |
| 4. | DE Richard Seymour -- Patriots - He is a big, physical force inside, but his stats don't really reflect his importance. |
| 5. | DE Michael Strahan -- Giants - Strahan had an outstanding season as a run-stopper and pass-rusher. Plus, he still has great quickness off the edge. |
| 6. | WR Plaxico Burress -- Giants - His great athleticism and size make him difficult to cover. The Patriots likely will put extra defenders on him in the Super Bowl. |
| 7. | OG Logan Mankins -- Patriots - Mankins sets the tempo while putting pressure on defensive fronts with tenacity and strength. |
| 8. | CB Asante Samuel -- Patriots - Samuel has excellent quickness, tremendous ball skills and an outstanding ability to react well out of zone coverage. |
| 9. | LB Mike Vrabel -- Patriots - He is one of the most versatile players in the NFL. His instincts, short-area quickness and toughness make him tough to game plan for. |
| 10. | OG Chris Snee -- Giants - Snee is an effective interior lineman who has the grit and strength to set the tempo in the trenches. |
