It’s time for our annual preseason top 10! Each summer, the staff votes on its top 10 players ahead of the upcoming season. A 1st place vote is worth 10 points, second place is worth nine points, and so one. Today marks the beginning of our countdown, and full voting results will be published at a later date.
SPOILER ALERT: This is not the only instance in this year’s countdown where there was a tie in our rankings. When it came to deciding on who just made the cut for the Top 10, there was a divided opinion on whether that should go to a guy who has been unexpectedly thrust into a clear starting role* or a guy who has been the most important player on special teams.
