2011 NFL Center Rankings- Preseason

Top 15
15 Olin Kreutz, New Orleans Saints 
Alex Mack 
14 Chris Myers, Houston Texans 
13 Todd McClure, Atlanta Falcons 
12 Lyle Sendlein, Arizona Cardinals
11 Brad Meester, Jacksonville Jaguars 
10 Jeremy Zuttah, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 
9 Scott Wells, Green Bay Packers 
8 Andre Gurode, Dallas Cowboys 
7 Maurkice Pouncey, Pittsburgh Steelers 
6 Nick Hardwick, San Diego Chargers 
5 Dan Koppen, New England Patriots 
4 Ryan Kalil, Carolina Panthers 
3 Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis Colts 
2 Nick Mangold, New York Jets 
1 Alex Mack, Cleveland Browns 


     What separates the Pro Bowl centers like Alex Mack, Nick Mangold, Jeff Saturday and Ryan Kalil is that they not only provide great blocking, they provide that leadership that allows their team to have success on offense. Jeff Saturday is a perfect example because he is almost as important to the Colts in terms of leadership as Peyton Manning is. Right now, Mack is the best center in the NFL because of his ability to handle big nose guards like Haloti Ngata and Casey Hampton on a consistent basis.
