Chapter 960: Top 100
In 2019, the top 10 NFL players were officially announced——
Tenth place, Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver.
There is no doubt that he is still one of the most dominant large wide receivers in the league. Although the Atlanta Falcons season record is getting more and more sluggish, they have never come out of the shadow of the Super Bowl defeat the year before, resulting in He dropped six spots in the rankings but remains in the top ten.
Ninth place, Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers quarterback.
The team's record this season is still poor and they have missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. However, this has not affected the strong output of the league's highest-paid team. Not only did it break Brady's league record of 359 consecutive passes without interceptions, but it also broke Brady's league record of 359 consecutive passes without interceptions. Set a new league record for season interception rate of 0.335%, ranking one spot higher than last year.
Eighth place, Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver.
For Pittsburgh, this is a chaotic and bad season, but Brown is still performing strongly. He is the receiving touchdown leader this season. This is also the reason for him to have a falling out with the team, although The offseason was chaotic, but this still did not affect his position in the players' minds, falling six places from last season.
Seventh place, Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback.
Needless to say, Brady’s name is enough. But everyone knows that last season was miserable for Brady. Although his personal performance data was better than that of the 2017 season, without the chaos of the 2017 season, his ranking in the top 100 this season dropped by six. position.
Next season, whether Brady can stage the return of the king is also a major attraction of the league.
Sixth place, Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams running back.
As the league's highest-paid running back, Gurley's statistics have remained at peak levels for two consecutive seasons, but his dismal performance in this year's Super Bowl has damaged Gurley's reputation and been questioned. Despite this, Gurley's ranking remains the same as last year, neither rising nor falling.
However, Gurley knows that the league also knows that with Levi's continued strong performance, Gurley can prove himself again next season, which will become an important thing to watch.
It is worth mentioning that Los Angeles Rams quarterback Goff ranked only 33rd.
Last season, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Wentz came out of nowhere and landed third on the top 100 players list; this year he plummeted to the bottom of 96th place, but no matter what, at least Wentz still had his bright moments.
However, Goff led the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl, but their ranking is still tepid, only rising three positions from last season.
It can be seen from here that in the eyes of the players, the real legion of the Los Angeles Rams offense is Gurley, not Goff.
So, if the Los Angeles Rams want to remain competitive next season, the pressure will all be on Gurley's shoulders.
Fifth place, Patrick Mahomes, Kansas Chiefs quarterback.
In the first starting season of his career, Mahomes was ranked fifth despite not being ranked last season, and he felt the attention of the league firsthand.
Whether it is the game statistics or the second place in the regular season MVP voting, even though Mahomes is still young and still has obvious room for growth, this season has allowed people to see Mahomes’s potential. Ability and potential, this quarterback jumped out of the cracks like a monster——
Looking back at this moment, why did no team notice him before the 2017 draft? ?
The Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears are both in deep thought. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who held the fourth overall pick in 2017, are also confused after facing the quarterback problem.
However, no one can compare to the San Francisco 49ers.
Originally, the San Francisco 49ers, who held the second overall pick, had not considered selecting a quarterback at all, but now they have entered the ruins and chaos of tearing down and rebuilding for the second consecutive season, and they can't help but doubt their life. They once missed Brady, who expressed his true feelings, and they missed Rodgers, who was heartfelt. Could it be that they missed the unique Mahomes again?
Fourth place, Khalil Mack, Chicago Bears linebacker.
The 2016 Defensive Player of the Year transferred from the Oakland Raiders to the Chicago Bears last season and once again proved his ability with unparalleled top performance.
In the top 100 players list, surpassing Watt and ranking among the top ten, and standing out among a bunch of offensive players, this is the best recognition for Mark.
In the 2016 season, people have been questioning whether Mark can win the Defensive Player of the Year because Watt was reimbursed for the season; but now Mark has proven himself with practical actions, at least in the minds of the players, his strength and excellence have been recognized.
This list is exciting and tough so far. From here, you can deeply feel the excitement of the 2018 season. Close your eyes and you will be filled with memories.
So, who can break through the fierce competition and become the top three?
Third place, Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints quarterback.
Twelfth Pro Bowl, fourth second-team All-American, record-breaking fifth season leader in pass completion percentage, second season leader in quarterback rating, breaking Manning's record ’s league passing yardage record and so on and so forth.
How should Brees' 2018 season be described?
Brilliant.
In fact, until now, people still believe that the league robbed the New Orleans Saints of the opportunity to advance to the Super Bowl. The controversy in the National League finals has not completely dissipated. Brees played a perfect season and won the playoffs. Continuing dominance, if it weren't for that missed call...
Obviously, the league also realized that there were serious missed calls in the two federation finals, and the matter was not trivial.
After the Super Bowl, the league established an investigative committee to investigate on-field penalties and the officiating team. After a full month of long investigation and cross-examination, the league released a ninety-seven-page investigation. Report.
The report stated that there was no shady incident and it was purely an accident; but in order to prevent such things from happening again, the league is discussing how to modify the rules.
For example, if the referee team has objections to a penalty, or the coaching staff has objections to a missed call or misjudgment, they can request live video playback to make a decision. There are already relevant rules, but after the two-minute timeout, the coaching staff does not allow the red flag to challenge the penalty. So now the league needs to discuss how to adjust the rules to avoid similar situations happening again at critical moments in the game.
Bah, bah, bah.
Both teams and players don't buy it. They think the league is in trouble.
However, the big ball market and market layout were involved behind the scenes. The team owners kept their mouths shut one by one and did not encircle Goodell.
At this time, when I look at Brees again, I can't help but sigh with admiration.
But it is undeniable that Brees deserves the third position. This is the respect he has earned with his performance.
Second place, Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle.
So, what about the first place?
At this point, who else can beat Donald and Brees to the top of the top 100?
The answer, it seems, couldn't be more obvious.
