ESPN has ranked all the players on the Packers and Steelers 1-106. Here's how the FCS guys rate:
14. FS Nick Collins -- Packers
The Packers have the best secondary in football. And with the exceptional cornerback play, it can be easy to overlook this Pro Bowl performer. Collins is someone Roethlisberger must be very aware of on game day.
21. DE Aaron Smith -- Steelers
If we knew that Smith was going to play and be the player who we remember before his injury, he would be much higher on this list. But when looking at only what he would bring to the table for this game as Ziggy Hood's backup, he could be lower on the list. He was a difficult player to rank.
38. WR Donald Driver -- Packers
Much like Ward, Driver is still a solid veteran wideout who has the complete trust of his star quarterback. The big plays are not there like they once were, but Driver can still contribute, although he really struggled last week.
105. G Evan Dietrich-Smith -- Packers
Like McDonald, Dietrich doesn't have much of a pedigree to speak of and didn't see the field with the offense in 2010.
