Broncos Safety T.J. Ward Upset By NFL 'Top 100' Snub

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- T.J. Ward hosted a charity tournament at the Blackstone Country Club in Aurora this week with many of his Denver Broncos teammates, and he says he's upset about the NFL Network's new Top 100 Players list.

The Top 100 players list includes Peyton Manning, but not Ward and his teammates in the Broncos secondary Chris Harris or Aqib Talib.

"I was just talking to Talib about, you know, the upcoming season and how they left all three of us out of the Top 100 so we've got a little bit of a chip on our shoulders. We didn't appreciate that and that's from our peers so somebody has to pay for that," said Ward.

The first-ever golf event gave registered golfers the chance to meet with current and former Broncos.
