In anticipation of the upcoming season ESPN is ranking the top 100 best players in the NFL. Not an MVP list, the rankings are to determine who is the best player in the league regardless of position or team impact. Every player was rated on a scale of 1-100 with the high end reserved for quality. ESPN surveyed more than 50 individuals both inside and outside of the news agency. Analysts, reporters, statisticians, former players, and NFL front-office members were used to determine players’ rank by an average score.
The series is to be released in three parts with the final 25 announced yesterday.
