Top 100 Players of 2022: 100 - 51

For more than a decade, NFL players have voted on the best players in the league. The results of the voting are released during one-hour episodes on NFL Network. Initially, they started revealing the results soon after the draft. It took at least 10 weeks. More recently, they’ve been revealed in larger chunks over a couple weeks during the preseason. No matter when or how the results have been packaged and released, it’s become an annual event. It’s really the only time that the players get to vote on the best of their peers. It’s fun. The most fun is found in the player commentary. It can range from informative to hilarious. 

The first half of the Top 100 Players of 2022 was released on Sunday.

This is the player’s list. I try to respect that. There’s no way that Mac Jones should be ranked 14 spots ahead of Kirk Cousins.
