I'm actually more surprised by the fact it's player voted that has him so low. If anything, I figured they'd for sure have him high.

What a lot of fans and players are unaware of is that the vote sampling of NFL players for the top 100 is very small. The sampling is taken from players that are defined as "friends of the program". When a player appears on or is interviewed by the NFL Network and it's affiliate outlets, a top 100 form is presented to the player at the end of what they call doing the media interview car wash. This process can lead to a very slanted sample of a small group of players that may share the network bias or agenda. That's how Jimmy Graham was left off completely following a very successful year. All players in the NFL should be allowed to submit a top 100 form.
