The countdown of the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2021 came to an end yesterday with the NFL’s Top 10 Players of 2021. We’ve known the players that populate the Top 10 for a week. We didn’t know the order. Now we do.
10. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills
9. T.J. Watt, Edge, Pittsburgh Steelers
8. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Arizona Cardinals
7. Tom Brady, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
6. Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers
5. Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
4. Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans
3. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
2. Aaron Donald, DT, Los Angeles Rams
1. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
There it is. The Top 10 Players of 2021.
If there’s a surprise among the Top 10, it’s probably Travis Kelce at #5. But that’s just a knee-jerk thought. With more thought, I see his impact on defenses. They are basically defenseless against much of what he can do. He settles into open spots and his quarterback always know where those are. Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are as close to an unstoppable duo as there is the league. They are where Tom Brady and a healthy Rob Gronkowski were about a decade ago.
It’s interesting to see the top two quarterbacks paired with his top pass-catcher in the Top 10.
Personally, I’d have Aaron Donald as the #1 player but it’s not my list. It’s the player’s list.
Now the 2021 NFL season can start. It’s still nearly two weeks away.
