Steelers offensive lineman Ramon Foster said via Twitter that he talked to several players who said their teams didn't vote for the top 100 players in the recent NFL Network list. Fellow Steelers Ryan Clark and LaMarr Woodley have tweeted pretty much the same thing since the show started. Perhaps only Patriots, Ravens and Packers player s were allowed to vote.

Joel Segal, the agent for cornerback Ike Taylor, would not comment Tuesday on whether he has spoken with Read more [...]
