NFL's Top 100 Players: 30-21

The countdown of the NFL's Top 100 Player of 2018 continued on NFL Network last night with the players ranked 30-21.

30. LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills
29. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons
28. Cahndler Jones, DE, Arizona Cardinals
27. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
26. Cameron Jordan, DE, New Orleans Saints
25. Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
24. Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
23. Patrick Peterson, CB, Arizona Cardinals
22. A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
21. Bobby Wagner, LB, Seattle Seahawks

It was a big week for the Cardinals.

Larry Fitzgerald has made the Top 100 all eight years of the list's existence. It's his fifth appearance in the Top 30. He's ageless. He's great.

Chandler Jones' terrific 2017 season, a season in which he led the league in sacks, sent him soaring up the list. He jumped 57 spots from his #85 ranking last year.

Patrick Peterson and A.J. Green entered the league together in 2011. They've both made the Top 100 every year since 2012.

Cameron Jordan has missed the list a couple times. He's been ranked #99 a couple times. It should be safe to say that he'll be at this end of the Top 100 for a while.

I expected to see Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen pop up this week. He's undoubtedly a Top 100 player. So, it looks like he's a Top 20 player heading into the 2018 NFL season.

Next week: 20-11. The Top 20 is upon us!
