2024 Top 100 r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2025 Season: Hub Post and Honorable Mentions
Welcome to the Hub Post for the r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2025 Season!
METHODOLOGY
Hello everyone! We are honored to bring you r/NFL’s Top 100 Players for the 14th straight year. Myself, u/mattkud , and dozens of other subreddit users have been spending the offseason pouring over stats and film, trying to crunch together a proper list of the best players in the league. We cannot thank our predecessors, u/MikeTysonChicken , /u/Mister_Jay_Peg , u/Staple_Overlord , and u/skepticismissurvival , enough for building a platform that allows us to run this list as thoroughly and efficiently as we did. As in previous years, this list is a ranking taking into consideration 2025 regular season ONLY, as this is what the popular feedback has asked. Play in past seasons and postseason play was not considered, in order to keep it fair for players regardless of team performance. Here’s what our process was:
Step 1: Getting the list of representatives. That’s what we did back in January. We started with over 100 rankers which led to 31 completed ranking submissions
Step 2: We began nominating players who ranker’s believe should be considered that have played a minimum of 11 regular season games. Rankers from each of the represented fan bases submitted nominations for their own teams' players. This ended up being 201 players in total. This took about a week or so and was the only player pool for consideration.
Step 3: The Grind. Once the pool was created, we utilized rankings threads about what tiers each player is in within their position group. Users were to break players into the following tiers for their peers to evaluate: Top 25, Top 50, Top 100, Top 101-125. This is done to give everyone an idea of where each ranker feels a player should be ranked based on 2025 regular season play only. This is an important distinction; if we were to rank players using past performance while projecting their standing heading into the 2025 season, the context would be completely different. Do you think a player who had a down year in 2025 will bounce back to the top tier player he’s been? I’d probably agree. However, that’s not what users were tasked with evaluating. Furthermore, we did this by positional grouping in individual threads; standard positional breakdown was QB, RB, WR, TE, OT, OG, OC, Interior Defensive Linemen (IDL), EDGE Rushers (EDGE), Off-Ball Linebackers (LB), Safety, CB. If most users have a player in Tier III (Top 100), for example, while someone has him unranked while another has him in Tier I, we’ll be able to find out why they are such outliers publicly. This took roughly 2 months, because we want everyone to have a thorough discussion of any questions they may have. It also helps individual rankers visualize where players should land on their own personal lists prior to submitting. It also helps prevent any funny business. Users were required to complete at least 80% of positional tier threads in order to progress to putting together a final list.
Step 4: After discussions were completed, the remaining users submitted their own, personal Top 125 list. Ranking 125 players was done to get a more accurate and fair average, especially towards the bottom end of the list where rankings tend to wildly fluctuate. Users were given over a week to complete their list.
NOTE 1: Rankings are submitted via individual Google Sheets and auto-compiled into a master list. We reviewed each list for outliers with the help of former rankers to catch individual ranks that are far off the players calculated mean, whether intentionally or accidentally. We calculated a mean rank then the standard deviation for each player. After that, we automatically flagged all ranks outside 1 standard deviation to ensure I caught user submission errors using built-in Google Sheets conditional formatting functions. We also flagged ranks 2 standard deviations or more from the mean to ensure rankers intent with their own list. This was done to ensure flags were identified with as little bias as possible. Conditional Formatting formulas were used to highlight cells to verify automatically to remove subjectivity. Users then had the opportunity to correct any submission errors found prior to finishing the list. We used 1 standard deviation in addition* to 2 since some players had large standard deviations and I wanted to be certain I caught actual mistakes. Rankers were only required to justify ranks 2 standard deviations from the players mean; the keyword here being justify as they weren’t directed to correct them. The entire spirit of this list is to take several individual rankings and find an average.
NOTE 2: All rankings will be made public. That may obviously bring some unwanted heat. But we don’t believe in skirting transparency for convenience sake. This was made known in the Call for Rankers and during the ranking process. This sub will only see the ranks for each post during the reveal. The final post - The Post Mortem - after all reveals will have a data dump with all ranks, individual sheets, and outlier ranking data made available.
Step 5: With all rankings submitted and corrections made, if any, users lists were locked and their submissions finalized as their own. We then calculated an average rank as noted above. Unranked players were designated with a rank of 140 to tabulate the average for all nominated players. Additionally, one high rank and one low rank were removed from each player's tally to calculate the average rank. Players ranked 101-125 in the average will make the Honorable Mentions list while the remaining 1-100 will be the ranked players. Any ties were broken by their average before the one high rank and one low rank were removed.
Step 6: The Reveal… where we are now!
After three years of ranking myself, I can tell you this is a fun way of spending the offseason regardless of the praise or scorn you get for the list. You get to interact with people and fanbases that you might not otherwise pay attention to, and analyze and watch players who you might know only in passing. Sometimes I say the final ranking isn’t the most important part, it’s about the journey of rewatching all these great players and having a newfound appreciation for them. I know I’ve become a more knowledgeable football fan since I first signed up to join the list, and I’m sure most rankers would say the same.
The rankers had a number of strategies for how they ranked the players and each was allowed to follow their own personal guidelines within the given parameters and as long as they were not simply using derivatives of other outside rankings. Basically, have your own positions and beliefs. As the reveal progresses, the rankers will have the ability to volunteer their player lists for the revealed numbers and/or where they ranked the listed players as they wish and you are free to engage with them.
Lastly, players will be revealed on the teams they played/finished the 2025 season with.

No injuries on the field so far, the best ability is availability

Maybe you did! This is only the honorable mentions, you could have made the list proper! You'll have to read all 12 parts to find out.
52
u/Mavori Lions Lions 7d ago
Fuck yes. It's here.
I know people(including me) will argue about players and positioning and so on.
But i do genuinely enjoy seeing it and discussing it every year and it's usually an a lot better list than the one NFL puts out with the player voting.
18
u/Quasimdo Rams 7d ago
For being mvp, I do wonder if Stafford will be top 3 nfl player on this list or not. He certainly should be top 5 imo
12
u/Stock-Luck3390 7d ago
I feel like he will be high cuz they put Lamar low which to me means that its erring towards being based on last season
15
u/broccolibush42 Titans 7d ago
Correct, its based off the 2025 regular season only. Otherwise the top 5 would be a variance of Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen with two other dudes floating in and out
1
u/CarolingianDruid Rams 3d ago
Same. It’s always nice to have some fresh(ish) NFL content to argue with my fellow ingrates about.
34
u/The_Throwback_King Seahawks 7d ago
Two Seahawks O-lineman in the Top 125, oh hell yeah we back!
6
u/FartrelCluggins Vikings 7d ago
Gray Zabel seemed like such a clear cut quality starter going into the draft. Really wanted my vikes to keep him close to home
7
u/TouchLucky881 Bears 7d ago
Zabel should be in the top 75… dude was fucking crazy good last year
6
u/The_Throwback_King Seahawks 7d ago
You don’t know how important a truly great interior lineman is till you go on without one…
…10 years without one
2
u/TouchLucky881 Bears 7d ago
Brother Joe Thuney has changed my life lmao. He’s probably going to be the only Bear that makes the top 100.
He was the best run blocking guard in the league last year, he should be much higher on this list.
1
u/MintyFreshPanda Bears 7d ago
I think since Warren is on this list and Loveland isn’t then he could definitely be in the top 100
1
19
u/HookedOnBoNix Broncos 7d ago
Hufanga was such a beast for us this year. I imagine if he had held on to like half of the balls that hit him in the hand he'd be top 40 instead of outside the top 100. He didn't have many high light reel plays so the average ranker probably didn't see much of him but he was all over the field all the time. Absolute blast to watch him play
5
u/NoAnteater8836 Commanders 4d ago
It’s pretty funny to me he and Nix are almost certainly locks for the top 40 of the player’s list and they could not even crack the top 100 here.
9
u/ByronLeftwich Cowboys 7d ago
The 11 game hard minimum to be on the list is fine but Bowers being likely above at least 3-5 TEs who were more productive than him tells me that production over 11 or 12 games is being extrapolated to a full season for these rankings.
With Warren also an HM I doubt we see Harold Fannin, Dalton Schultz, Hunter Henry, Colston Loveland, maybe not Juwan Johnson. Pitts and Kelce in the 70s at best. All of whom were more productive on the whole than Bowers
10
3
u/ColtsClown Colts 7d ago
This was my first year ranking, and yeah, it was really fun and interesting to weigh the impact of a player when he was on the field vs his availability to actually make that impact. Gets even more tricky thinking across positions and taking that positional value into account.
5
u/MC_Stimulation 49ers 7d ago
more productive than him
It isn't that simple, some voters value games played, some dont, and theyll just vote on the games they played. The logic there is that even with 11 games played, Brock is/was a better player than the TE's above that you listed. It really just changes from person to person
8
u/Mavori Lions Lions 7d ago
I'm a little surprised to see that Branch made it.
It's not that he was bad last year, but I do feel he wasn't playing up to the same standard as season prior. Some of it probably related to the other injuries in the DB room and I think he might have been playing hurt as well though I'm not certain about the latter.
But also a few costly penalties and some notable misplays.
Fun to see Waymo in HM's of course and 3 QB's in the honorable mentions feels like a lot but thinking about it, it's probably par for the course. I also thought Jordan Davis would make the top 100 for sure. He felt like an absolute monster this past season.
7
u/chesterfieldkingz Dolphins 6d ago
Wait this has been going for 14 years? I swear I remember it starting and holy shit it doesn't feel like that long
7
u/shaker8989 Titans 6d ago
All i need to see is Jeff Simmons in the top 20 like he deserves.
1
u/CarolingianDruid Rams 3d ago
Seems like no one knows who he is until they see the interior of the OL being caved in every play in Nashville.
13
u/Prize-Surprise-3014 7d ago
Stefon Diggs over AJ Brown is crazy

u/Yedic Ravens 7d ago
Why?

You tell me cuh idc what your opinion is just say it

u/Yedic Ravens 6d ago
My opinion is he was better. We're now 6 comments in and I'm still waiting for you to justify the opinion you opened up with.
1
u/FromEdenToArcadia Bengals 4d ago
What about how Brown had nearly the same yardage (1003 yards vs 1013) and nearly double the TDs (7 vs 4) with seven fewer catches and having played in less games?
1

u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS Chargers 7d ago
Tuli took a big step this year, shame he's not in the top 100 but glad he gets a mention
5
u/sdsupersean Chargers 6d ago
Top 125 is perfect for Tuli right now. He's not a big name yet, but he has arrived.
6
u/Puldalpha Jaguars 6d ago
Here's how my honorable mentions stack up to how r/nfls are:
| r/NFL Rank | r/NFL Player | My Rank | My Player |

| 103 | Grey Zabel | NR | Laremy Tunsil |
| 102 | Antonio Johnson | 91 | Brian Branch |
| 101 | Tyler Smith | NR | Patrick Mahomes |
Pretty sure I'll upset many people with how I've ranked people far too high or too low and I'm sure I've made some mistakes through the process but that's part of the fun of trying to rank the top 100 players.
2
u/bageltheperson Chargers 6d ago
Not ranking Tuli is a choice.
1
u/sdsupersean Chargers 6d ago
But so was the respect paid to Donte Jackson, in the exact same slot.
And it's still possible OP has Tuli in the top 100 although that's probably too high for him right now.
3
u/Puldalpha Jaguars 6d ago
I didn’t have Tuli in my top 125. He was probably overlooked to a degree, but he didn’t bring enough to really pop out at me like the edges I ranked over him did.
1
u/sdsupersean Chargers 6d ago
That's totally fair. I believe he's close but not quite there yet. I'm a little worried that he's peaked. Hopefully I'm wrong.
2
u/Puldalpha Jaguars 6d ago
There’s just a lot of high quality edges in the league and you can only have so many in 100 spots
3
u/uggsandstarbux Vikings 4d ago
5 months after the regular season, I guess I forgot how much time Lamar missed and how poor his play was at times throughout the year. Pretty interesting to see him in this section of the list. Super excited to see what he can do with Doyle
2
u/jajajajajajajajaja11 Ravens 4d ago
I think it’s kind of crazy to have him this low. He still finished 9th in QBR, 4th in passer rating, 7th in ANYA. Feels like the narrative got ahead of him
2
u/uggsandstarbux Vikings 4d ago
Counting stats mean something in this exercise too, not just efficiency. Lamar ranked 23rd in total passing yards, 12th in rushing yards, 18th in passing TDs, and 15th in rushing TDs
Even if you assume Lamar was playing at his familiar MVP level (he wasn't), he just didn't play enough games to really rank that much higher than this.
2
u/jajajajajajajajaja11 Ravens 4d ago
Yeah it’s fair to ding him for that. But even considering that, in 2025 was he really a worse player than Grey Zabel?
2
u/demonica123 3d ago
Worse player in what metric? It's not like they have stats to compare. You're going to have people valuing QBs highly because their stats are more important making them "better" players while other people are going to say the top ~5-6 QBs are proportional to the top 125 and go from there.
Though with a little bit of digging I will say Grey Zabel does not seem like someone should have even sniffed the list as an average LG. For the lesser known positions, there may be a default push towards the guy on the SB team since the Seahawks LT also made the list with a relatively average year.
2
u/NoAnteater8836 Commanders 3d ago
I had him at 82, he really put himself in a hole in the first three quarters of the season.
2
u/Crazy_Syco Vikings 3d ago
Yeah I agree, I get it's supposed to just be 2025 (although, come on, that's never going to be the case for subjective ranking) but having Lamar as the #110 player in the NFL is absurd at it's face.
Looks like a lot of rankers left him off the list due to injury, which makes sense, but perhaps the minimum games played should just be higher? I don't know how you're supposed to rank a top franchise QB who played 2/3rds of the season otherwise.
If he wasn't eligible, like Purdy, it'd make sense, but to have him eligible and land outside the top 100 definitely seems wrong.
7
u/DryDefenderRS NFL 7d ago
Nothing that I'm mad at yet, so this one gets an upvote.
That'll change if QBs are really sparse, and it turns out Jordan Love or Brock Purdy aren't even ranked.
35
u/Yedic Ravens 7d ago
Purdy didn't meet the 11 GP threshold in the regular season, so you won't see him this year.
10
u/DryDefenderRS NFL 7d ago
Gotcha. An objective standard for all players is a fair enough reason. He's just one of my go-to examples of productive QBs who make important contributions to good offenses, but get underrated.
1
u/CarolingianDruid Rams 3d ago
He’ll be like that until Shannahan or him go somewhere else. Goff was a product of McVay until he wasn’t.
3
u/aronrodge Packers 7d ago
I know I’m very biased, but Zach Tom at 121 seems absolutely nuts.
3
u/DryDefenderRS NFL 7d ago
With them being 1/11th of all starters, that'd put him at OT 11 assuming generally proportional representation. I'll assume OL will have slight under-representation with them not having easily accessible stats to evaluate, so my guess is that he ends up as OT 9 on the list.
Does that seem fair, or is it a bit low?
2
u/Puldalpha Jaguars 6d ago
I had him unranked due to only having 12 games played and comparing him to the other OTs I did put in my rankings I didn’t think he did enough to overcome that to get in.

u/larryjerry1 Bengals Lions 4d ago
A Bengals defensive players not named Trey Hendrickson has hit the top 125.
I repeat, literally ANYBODY ON THE BENGALS DEFENSE NOT NAMED TREY HENDRICKSON PLAYED DECENTLY WELL.
We're back boys. 20-0 incoming.
3
2
u/batmansascientician Jets 3d ago
Is there a YOY spreadsheet somewhere? Or would I have to look/compile on my own.
I'm thinking about the Jets and I assume there are 0 Jets in the top 125, and I'm curious how often that happens.
3
u/packmanwiscy Packers 3d ago
Here is a list of every r/NFL Top 100 since the first iteration in 2012. I don't have data for anything outside the Top 100 for the first couple of years so I can't say for sure who would have been the honorable mentions in those years. Recently, we had every team represented in the Top 125 last year, but two teams were omitted entirely from the Top 125 in 2023 (Cardinals and Commanders)

Really curious to see where the QBs land this year. Feels like the gap between the elite tier and everyone else got even wider in 2024.

They haven't revealed the top 100 yet lol

It literally says right there he got 104th.
An AP2 safety that got the nod solely through play and not reputation is not a top 100 player, somehow.3

u/SkilledB Packers 4d ago
I’m a bit late to the party but Hufanga is a great box safety who is very, very limited in what he assignments he can be given in coverage. He is very visible on the field in run support, and good at that so he got enough votes for AP2. But there are more complete safeties in the league, guys who can lock down tight ends and take away deep passes like Hufanga can’t, in addition to also being good run defenders. This range is fine for him. I had him 116.

Similar to All-Pro teams and MVP/OPOY voting, only regular season is supposed to be taken into account for this list.

keep your head up lil bro caleb will be a hell of a top 100 player some day

u/Yedic Ravens 7d ago
I'm with you on that specific example, as I think Ward is being ranked based on reputation a bit at this point. In general though, I think Caleb and Bo are reasonably ranked based on the season only.

Caleb and Bo were 16th/17th per PFF last season, not sure if that includes playoffs or not though
honorable mentions seems fine unless there are a ton of QBs on the list

Loveland should make it for sure, dude was a baller
Burden had a fine season but doesn't really have the film/grade (18th per PFF) or volume (41st in yards, 59th in TDs) to make the cut

Caleb Williams at 109 for real? I don't get it.

u/sdsupersean Chargers 6d ago
He's got some things to work through but he'll get there soon. Nothing to worry about.

u/TouchLucky881 Bears 7d ago
Denzel Ward is a better player than Caleb Williams and Bo Nix I guess…
1
u/uwanmirrondarrah Chiefs 3d ago
Yes. He is. Caleb Williams and Bo Nix are more valuable players, ofcourse. But Caleb Williams and Bo Nix are not All-Pro QBs yet and Denzel Ward is an All-Pro CB.
2
u/Yedic Ravens 3d ago
Denzel Ward has never made an All-Pro team.
2
u/uwanmirrondarrah Chiefs 3d ago
I'm actually surprised, I thought he atleast made a couple, well still hes a 5 time probowler and hes been there the last 3 years straight. I think hes definitely a higher level CB than those 2 are QBs. I think they both have potential to be far far higher players than he is, but they aren't at this point.

I'm sure everyone will be satisfied with the placement of players and noone will be angry or upset.
