The NFL is finishing up its list of the top 100 players in the league as voted on by the players. The first half of the list included three members of the Cleveland Browns:
- CB Denzel Ward
- OL Wyatt Teller
- OL Joel Bitonio
While their rankings may not have done them justice, it was impressive for the team to have three of 50 players make the list. The next, obvious question was which Browns players would show up in the top half of the list?
The first name is one that we don’t hear a lot from but who speaks loudly with his work ethic and play on the field. RB Nick Chubb came in ranked #33.
Cleveland’s social media quickly shared this video of players around the league talking about how great Chubb is:
"runs downhill with bad intentions" 💪

As pointed out by Dawgs By Nature, Chubb averaged 5.5 yards per carry and dropped in the rankings. Somehow Minnesota RB Dalvin Cook ranked two spots above Cleveland’s running back despite having 100 yards less rushing last year.
Interestingly, the end of the video notes that Chubb is the second highest-rated player on the Browns which means only DE Myles Garrett is left to make the list. It will be interesting how high Garrett is ranked and how many non-quarterbacks are ranked ahead of him.
Come back here to The Browns Wire to find out where Garrett finishes.
