The best 100 players voted by fellow players and coaches have been revealed. As always, there were surprise inclusions and exclusions, as well as disagreement amongst fans on where their teams’ players ranked. But, the main questions are which team had the most selections and were there any teams with zero players on the list?
VAVEL reveals which team has the most selection in this season’s edition of the NFL Top 100:
San Francisco 49ers – Nine selections
Is the 49ers' window to win a Super Bowl closing? Not according to the top 100 NFL players of 2024. Last season’s Super Bowl finalists have nine selections in this year’s edition of the Top 100.
Dre Greenlaw, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Fred Warner, Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey all made the list for the 49ers. Seven of the nine made it inside the top 30 players on the list - Greenlaw (78) and Aiyuk (66) being the only exceptions.
The 49ers' tally of nine selections is one higher than their 2023 list of eight, with both Purdy and Aiyuk joining the list this year and Talanoa Hufanga dropping out after an injury-hit season.
Miami Dolphins – Eight selections
Terron Armstead, Jordan Poyer, Jaylen Waddle, Bradley Chubb, Raheem Mostert, Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Ramsey and Tyreek Hill were all voted as Top 100 players for the Dolphins.
Tua (36), Ramsey (25) and Hill (1) all made it inside the top 50 on the list. Hill climbed up from seventh to claim the top spot and knocked his former quarterback Patrick Mahomes off the prestigious position to become the number one player in the NFL.
As well as Hill; Ramsey, Tua, Armstead and Waddle made back-to-back appearances on the list for the Dolphins.
Whilst Poyer was on the list last year, he was a Buffalo Bills player, but Bradley Chubb makes his first appearance in the Top 100 and Christian Wilkins drops out of the Top 100 after coming in at 81 in 2023.
New York Jets – Six selections
Quincy Williams, Quinnen Williams, Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Haason Reddick and Aaron Rodgers all made the cut for the Jets.
The Williams brothers are the highest-ranked players for the Jets, with Quincy coming in at 32 and Quinnen five rankings lower than his sibling at 37.
The six selections for the Jets are one more than their 2023 tally with Rodgers, Wilson, Gardner and Quinnen Williams all returning to the top 100. Reddick made the list again but with a different team as he was a Philadelphia Eagle last term. Quincy Williams made the list for the first time and C.J. Mosely fell out of the Top 100 after coming at 46 in 2023.
Four teams – Five selections
Four teams were tied on five selections with the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions seeing a quintet of their players make the Top 100. The most notable players, from the teams with five selections, were Lamar Jackson (2), CeeDee Lamb (13), Jalen Hurts (15) and Penei Sewell (22).
Four teams – four selections
The Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers all had four players who made the exclusive list with defensive end T.J. Watt coming in the highest of any of the selections from those teams at number eight.
CJ Stroud made his debut in the Top 100 list, as he became the highest-ranked Texan at number 20. Mike Evans was the highest-ranked Buccaneers player at 26, and Rams receiver Puka Nacua led his teammates as claimed number 33.
Seven teams – three selections
The seven teams with three selections are the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs.
All three of the Chiefs selections landed inside the top 10 with reigning Super Bowl MVP Mahomes landing at number four, defensive lineman Chris Jones at six and tight end Travis Kelce at nine.
The next highest-ranked player from the teams with three selections is Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby at 10th.
Eight teams – Two selections
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns tied with two selections each.
Myles Garrett (5), Josh Allen (12) and Justin Jefferson (18) were the highest-ranked players on the Top 100 list from those teams.
Four teams – One selection
The Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints all had a sole player represent their team on the list.
Zaire Franklin (Colts) made the final spot of the Top 100, whilst Budda Baker came in at 89 for the Cardinals. Jeffery Simmons (Titans) was voted the 73rd-best player in the NFL, while Demario Davis (Saints) ranked 44th on the list.
Two teams – Zero selections
Only two teams had no players make the Top 100 with both the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots failing to be represented.
It’s no surprise either of the two sides had no players ranked inside the Top 100 when you consider their records last season. The Panthers went 2-15 whilst the Patriots only managed to rack up two more wins than Carolina on their way to a 4-13 record.
