The Green Bay Packers had the best collection of top-performing talent in the NFL during the 2020 season.
Pro Football Focus released the site’s top 101 players of the 2020 season on Monday. The Packers had six players featured on the list, including three in the top 12 and all six in the top 50. No other team had any many players in the top 12 or top 50.
Overall, the Packers had PFF’s No. 1 quarterback, No. 1 receiver, No. 1 cornerback, No. 3 offensive tackle, No. 2 safety and No. 1 center during the 2020 season.
The Packers to make PFF’s top 101 in 2020:
2. QB Aaron Rodgers
5. WR Davante Adams
12. CB Jaire Alexander
23. LT David Bakhtiari
27. S Adrian Amos
39. C Corey Linsley
The Packers were also the only team to have two players in the top five.
Rodgers, the league MVP, made a gigantic jump in 2020, going from the No. 83 overall player in 2019 to No. 2 in 2020. He received the best overall grade in PFF’s history. Only Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald kept him from the top spot.
Adams rose from No. 33 in 2019 to No. 5 this season, while Alexander went from unranked last season to No. 12 in 2020. Amos and Linsley also made the jump from unranked into the top 50.
Last season, edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, running back Aaron Jones and defensive lineman Kenny Clark all made the top 101, along with Rodgers and Adams.
