In a thrilling kickoff to the football season, the excitement surrounding the NFL Top 100 is about to begin. Starting Monday, fans can expect daily updates as the rankings of the league’s top players are revealed. This year marks the 15th consecutive year that current NFL players have voted to determine the best of the best, culminating in the anticipation of who will secure the coveted No. 1 spot.
Each weekday, two new players will enter the spotlight until the top 10 players are announced, with the grand reveal scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Monday, September 1 via NFL Network. The unveiling can be followed on various platforms, including X, NFL+, and NFL.com.
Several strong contenders are in the hunt for the top position. Notable names like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are back in the mix, with Mahomes being among the few players who have previously held the No. 1 ranking multiple times. The record-holder in this category is none other than Tom Brady, who topped the list a remarkable four times.
Since the start of the Top 100 in 2011, quarterbacks have dominated the rankings, being named the top player in 10 out of 14 seasons. Last year, wide receiver Tyreek Hill made history by being the first wide receiver to claim the No. 1 spot.
While running back Adrian Peterson is the only player in that position to reach No. 1, the defensive side has seen only two players, J.J. Watt and Aaron Donald, take top honors. With the countdown officially commencing, everyone is eager to see who will earn the title for the 2024 season.
