NFL fans love nothing more than debating which players are the best in the game, and the league has capitalized on that by creating its annual NFL Top 100 list.

While the list generates conversations and debates about its legitimacy, it will always carry some clout. Why? Because the NFL polls players and asks them to determine which of their contemporaries are the best. The league then compiles those results and turns them into the NFL Top 100.

That’s not to say that player opinions are infallible. We have seen players play favorites in voting for All-Star Games and accolades across sports, both in the NFL and other major sports leagues. That’s why many will spend time analyzing snubs, surprises and head-scratching rankings that will anger certain fan bases.

That’s part of the beauty of the list. It’s all meant to generate discussion, and it certainly accomplishes that goal.

Here’s a look at the NFL’s Top 100 list for 2024 and how it compares to the list the league released in 2023.

The NFL Top 100 list is always announced in stages as the league tries to build hype around the opening of training camps. The first set of rankings, Nos. 100-81, was released Monday, July 22. The NFL will release 10 more each day after that (excluding weekends) until the league’s top 10 players are revealed Friday, Aug. 2.

Per usual, the rankings skewed quarterback-heavy, as three passers were included among the first 20 names released. That included Trevor Lawrence (94), Aaron Rodgers (92) and Kirk Cousins (81).
