NFL Network will begin its Top 100 Players of 2015 on Wednesday. How many Kansas City Chiefs players will be on the list?

Every year, NFL Network puts on the Top 100 Players of the league. The network unveils the list in groups of 10, bringing us right into the season.

Over here, we are wondering how many Kansas City Chiefs will make it to the show. In the past we have seen as few as one and as many as six. This year? We are betting it is somewhere in the middle.

It will be tricky this time around because a few of our best players were injured. Justin Houston played in only 10 games while Jamaal Charles suited up for five. Do they make the list despite such injury-plagued campaigns? Dustin Colquitt is great but he won’t make it because he’s a punter. Alex Smith had the best year of his career, but he probably doesn’t crack the top 100.

Our best guess is that Houston makes the list, along with Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Eric Berry, Travis Kelce and Marcus Peters. Jeremy Maclin also has a shot and perhaps Mitch Schwartz makes an appearance, although he plays right tackle and was on the Cleveland Browns.

Regardless, it would be stunning if Kansas City has less than five players which considering there are 32 teams, isn’t too bad.

Who do you believe should make the list, Addicts?
