Columnist's Note

Letโ€™s get this out of the way: the leagueโ€™s obsession with quarterbacks is exhausting. Not every conversation about โ€œtop playersโ€ needs to be a referendum on who throws the prettiest ball. Football has elite talent all over the field, and this list actually treats it that way. These are the top 100 players regardless of position. Being listed first doesnโ€™t mean someone is โ€œthe bestโ€โ€”just that theyโ€™re one of the players who made the cut. The list is grouped by position for clarity, and players within each group appear in random order. In short: Rather than be another QB worship session, this list is a look at the leagueโ€™s best, wherever they line up. And for the record, I lean toward tools over trophies. Awards and stats can be misleading. Apparently, they are players called system players. Go look it up. So take this list as itโ€™s intended: a look at who can play, not who collected hardware. I know you are ready to bash me. Argue with your keyboard instead!
