Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson experienced quite the fall in NFL Network’s ranking of the Top 100 players.
The veteran quarterback was No. 2 in 2025 and tumbled to 69th heading into the 2026 season.
Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney cracked the list for the second year in a row as well and came in at No. 70.
Here’s the full list so far:
100. New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan
99. Indianapolis Colts OG Quenton Nelson
98. Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young
97. Seattle Seahawks LB Ernest Jones IV
96. New Orleans Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr.
95. New York Jets LB Demario Davis
94. Kansas City Chiefs C Creed Humphrey
93. Cleveland Browns LB Carson Schwesinger
92. Houston Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair
91. Chicago Bears DE Montez Sweat
90. Carolina Panthers DE Derrick Brown
89. Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams
88. Detroit Lions LB Jack Campbell
87. Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan
86. Los Angeles Chargers LB Tuli Tuipulotu
85. San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy
84. Los Angeles Rams LB Byron Young
83. Tennessee Titans DT Jeffery Simmons
82. Pittsburgh Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey
80. New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown
79. Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce
78. Arizona Cardinals LB Josh Sweat
77. Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield
76. Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn
75. Arizona Cardinals S Budda Baker
74. Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs
73. Denver Broncos DE Zach Allen
72. Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love
71. Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers
70. Green Bay Packers S Xavier McKinney
69. Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson
McKinney was an All-Pro and a Pro Bowler in his first season with the Packers. He made the New York Giants look foolish for letting him walk out the door as a free agent.
The 27-year-old didn’t quite perform as well in 2025. He finished with 107 combined tackles and two interceptions, the latter representing a noticeable drop after he had eight picks in 2024.
McKinney remained a stingy pass defender, though. According to Pro Football Reference, he allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete just 57.5 percent of their throws when looking his way, and they had a 69.2 passer rating.
McKinney is signed through 2027, and his salary cap hit soars to $24.8 million that year. For some context, the Baltimore Ravens’ Kyle Hamilton and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Antoine Winfield Jr. are the only safeties with a higher cap number.
He’s a prime candidate to eventually get another contract restructure or a short extension that raises his pay.
