The NFL Network is will premier its annual Top 100 Players list in three one-hour episodes beginning on Sunday, Aug. 15 at 3 p.m. CT. The third and final installment will air on Saturday, Aug. 28. No team landed more players on last year’s list than the New Orleans Saints, with seven selections, but who could return this season?
Unlike other rankings you’ll see across the NFL media landscape, this list is voted on by the players themselves. That leads to some controversial placements with some guys landing too high or too low (or not ranked at all), but it makes for a fun offseason discussion.
Drew Brees and Michael Thomas may not make the cut, between their injury-plagued seasons and, you know, Brees retiring. That leaves five other holdovers from last year’s list, which we’ll get into below (plus some snubs who got overlooked last time).
