Each year, NFL Network rolls out its “Top 100 players” list for the upcoming season. The Indianapolis Colts will have three players make that list in 2020.
While the specific players on the list hasn’t been leaked, the number of players on each team was posted to Reddit by the NFL. The league will begin the countdown on Sunday, July 26, and over the course of three days will reveal the top 100 players on the list.
It’s relatively easy to predict who the Colts will have on the list. Left guard Quenton Nelson has the potential to be a top-10 player on the list while linebacker Darius Leonard is also a candidate to be ranked pretty highly.
The third spot is a bit of mystery, but it will most likely be defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Though he was acquired this offseason, he will count as a member for the Colts because that’s who he is playing with in 2020.
Some other candidates to sneak in for that final spot would be cornerback Kenny Moore and defensive end Justin Houston. Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton didn’t do enough in 2019 to likely be considered. But it likely means there will be some snubs on the list regardless.
The Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints have the most players on the list with seven each while the New York Giants, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots were the teams with the fewest at one player each.
