Allen mad about NFL Top 100 ranking, calls out Hill, Evans, Godwin
Upset with his place on the NFL Top 100 list, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen called out three counterparts set to be ranked ahead of him.

Allen came in at No. 77 on the list, which NFL players vote on annually. The 28-year-old is fresh off his third consecutive season with 1,000-plus receiving yards.
The receivers he tweeted about - Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - didn't appear when the league revealed selection Nos. 71-100. Presumably, their names will pop up as the NFL moves into the top 70.

Evans didn't seem to sweat the Allen tweet upon seeing it in his notifications:

Last year, Allen was up in arms about his Madden 20 video game rating, threatening to quit playing if his virtual skills weren't upgraded.
