The countdown of the NFL’s Top 100 Players continued yesterday on NFL Network. For the past decade, this has been the countdown of the players by the players. They do the voting. Here are the players ranked 40-11.
40. Bradley Chubb, Edge, Denver Broncos
39. Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
38. Marlon Humphrey, CB, Baltimore Ravens
37. Darius Leonard, LB, Indianapolis Colts
36. David Bakhtiari, OT, Green Bay Packers
35. Darren Waller, TE, Las Vegas Raiders
34. Chris Jones, DT, Kansas City Chiefs
33. Quenton Nelson, OG, Indianapolis Colts
32. Joey Bosa, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers
31. Jamal Adams, S, Seattle Seahawks
30. Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers
29. Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons (now Tennessee Titans)
28. Devin White, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
27. DeForest Buckner, DT, Indianapolis Colts
26. Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns
25. Bobby Wagner, LB, Seattle Seahawks
24. Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens
23. Khalil Mack, Edge, Chicago Bears
22. DK Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks
21. Fred Warner, LB, San Francisco 49ers
20. Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings
19. Budda Baker, S, Arizona Cardinals
18. Deshaun Watson, QB, Houston Texans
17. Xavien Howard, CB, Miami Dolphins
16. Myles Garrett, Edge, Cleveland Browns
15. Tyreek Hill, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
14. Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
13. Jalen Ramsey, Jacksonville Jaguars
12. Russell Wilson, WR, Seattle Seahawks
11. Stefon Diggs, WR, Buffalo Bills
Both Chubbs make the list. Bradley Chubb (#40) and Nick Chubb (#26). Bradley is one of the better young edge rushers in the league. Nick is one of the best backs in the league.
#20 is too low for Dalvin Cook. He was #21 on last year’s list. His 2020 season should’ve pushed him up more than a single spot. Derek Henry is the only back that deserved a ranking higher than Cook.
Alvin Kamara at #14? Is this ranking because of that ridiculous Christmas Day game? He scored six touchdowns against a Vikings defense stripped down by injuries. Remember when the NFL played four preseason games? The Vikings defense that Christmas Day looked like a defense pulled from a fourth preseason game. Mostly street free agents and practice squad wannabes. It would’ve been a surprise if Kamara didn’t score six touchdowns. Especially since the Saints clearly wanted him to do so. That game was a joke and Kamara’s record should carry an asterisk.
Most talking heads considered Stefon Diggs’ 2020 season a breakout season. It wasn’t a breakout to anyone that paid attention to his play in Minnesota. He was the same receiver last season that he’s been for the past several seasons. He’s been one of the best receivers in the league for a while and this shouldn’t have been his first appearance in the Top 20.
For a process that once took a few months to complete it’s a little strange to see the NFL’s Top 100 completed in a couple weeks.
Only ten players remain. Seeing the players that have been revealed it isn’t difficult to figure out the Top 10 Players of 2021.
Tom Brady
Patrick Mahomes
Aaron Rodgers
Josh Allen
Derek Henry
Davante Adams
DeAndre Hopkins
Travis Kelce
T.J. Watt
Aaron Donald
I’d have Aaron Donald #1 but a quarterback will probably take it.
