With the NFL dropping their Top 100 Players this weekend I thought I'd give it a shot too. DISCLAIMER: This is my prediction for the Top-100 Players post-2024 season. I've taken account of their previous seasons, injury history, team success, and other factors to compile this ranking. The biggest question I sked myself when deciding each players' placement was; "How much of a GAME-CHANGER is this player?"
The official NFL rankings did not affect my rankings at all. I created these rankings by first, creating a spreadsheet where I ranked each position of their best 15-25 players in the league. Once done, I ranked every player offensively and then defensively based on my prediction of their success next year while considering injury ability, team success and game-changing ability. After those lists were done I finally made the list in it's entirety.
