The NFL Network’s countdown of “The Top 100 Players of 2024” has reached its grand finale, and two San Francisco 49ers players have been voted into the top 10 rankings by their peers. Left tackle Trent Williams was unveiled as the No. 7 athlete alongside running back Christian McCaffrey (No. 3 athlete) in Friday night’s network wrap-up of the top 100 list.
Williams is the anchor of the 49ers offensive line and is set to enter his 15th season in the league (14th playing). The veteran tackle did not give up a single sack in his 15 regular season starts and allowed just 18 total pressures in those contests. He kept the sackless streak going through San Francisco’s Super Bowl LVIII run.
The vote to determine the top 100 athletes in the NFL is in its 14th year and includes only the ballots of current players in the league. The accompanying video series, which is now streaming on NFL+, is produced by NFL films and gives an inside look at the this elite group of athletes ahead of the 2024 season.
The full list of “The Top 100 Players of 2024” will be rolled out each morning at 9 a.m. PST on NFL+ in groups of 10 through Wednesday, July 31. The top 10 will be announced on Friday, August 2 at 5 p.m. PST live on NFL Network. Before the top 10 are unveiled, “The Top 100 Players of 2024: #100-11” airs on NFL Network on Wednesday, July 31 at 5 p.m. PST, recapping this year’s list thus far.
