NFL Top 100

The NFL Top 100 has been an annual player-voted ranking since 2011. Initially, the reveal of the rankings was rolled out on NFL Network soon after the draft. It took 11 weeks to go from #100 to #1. It was unique from many such rankings in that the players voted on the players. The best part of the reveals was always the player commentary. Peers talking about peers. The comments ranged from instructive to hilarious. It was fun. After a few years, the NFL Network reveals were compressed into a few weeks during training camp. The last two years, it’s been relegated to NFL+. As with most things surrounding NFL Media, this annual bit of football fun is being down-sized. Even in this compressed form, the NFL Top 100 survives.
