The NFL Top 100 list reveal entering the 2026 season continued on Wednesday with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London added to the group. <\/p>\n

London checked in at No. 66, a jump of 31 spots from the 2025 list. <\/p>\n

Here is the full list as it stands with 35 players have been announced. <\/p>\n

100. New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan<\/p>\n

99. Indianapolis Colts OG Quenton Nelson<\/p>\n

98. Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young<\/p>\n

71. Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers<\/p>\n

70. Green Bay Packers S Xavier McKinney<\/p>\n

69. Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n

68. Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton<\/p>\n

67. Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks<\/p>\n

66. Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London<\/p>\n

London is having a nice offseason that included signing a\u00a0four-year, $141 million<\/a>\u00a0contract extension with the Falcons in June.<\/p>\n

Now, London’s peers have voted him as one of the 100 best players in the NFL going into the season. He is the fifth wideout to appear on the list, ahead of Tetairoa McMillan, A.J. Brown, Zay Flowers and Courtland Sutton.<\/p>\n

If you add in tight ends, London is also ahead of Travis Kelce among pass-catchers right now.<\/p>\n

This is the highest a Falcons wide receiver has ranked on the annual top 100 list since\u00a02021<\/a>\u00a0when Calvin Ridley came in at No. 66.<\/p>\n

A first-round pick by the Falcons in 2022, London has been consistent throughout his career thus far. He has never had fewer than 68 receptions or 866 yards in a season.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was on pace to have his best season in 2025 if not for a knee injury that kept him out for four games from Weeks 12 through 15. He finished with 919 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games.<\/p>\n

London’s career output looks even better when you factor in the Falcons have cycled through five different starting quarterbacks since his rookie year. They could add a sixth to that group if Tua Tagovailoa starts a game in 2026.<\/p>\n

Whomever is throwing passes in Atlanta this season, having London on the other end to catch them will make the quarterback’s life much easier. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL Top 100 list reveal entering the 2026 season continued on Wednesday with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":802039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-802038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
