Three former Georgia Bulldogs have made Pro Football Focus’s list of the top 101 players in 2019. PFF is one of the better ways of comparing players across their position groups.
NFL.com has a top 100 players list come out every off-season, but that list largely ignores lineman, defenders, etc. in favor of more sexy name-brand players like quarterbacks.
Here’s PFF’s criteria for the top 101 players:
This list is based solely on 2019 play. Nothing that happened in previous years or may happen in the future is accounted for. This isn’t about class or talent; it’s about performance throughout the 2019 NFL season.
This list is created with an “all positions are created equal” mantra. So, you won’t see 32 quarterbacks heading the list — even though that is the game’s most valuable position. Instead, we take a look at how guys played relative to what is expected from their position.
Unlike PFF’s awards, the 101 factors in postseason performance
23. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb
95. Tennessee Titans center Ben Jones
101. Indianapolis Colts defensive end Justin Houston
Do you agree with this list? Georgia’s Todd Gurley, Matthew Stafford, and Jordan Jenkins are a few of the potential snubs from the list.
