The countdown to naming the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 concluded on Monday evening, with the top 10 players revealed on social media. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was a near-lock to land within the 10 best players, but just how high he\u2019d rise was, well, up in the air. As it turns out, Allen wasn\u2019t named the league\u2019s best quarterback according to his peers.<\/p>\n
After a successful NFL MVP campaign in 2024, Allen lands at three. Finishing ahead of Allen were quarterback Lamar Jackson at two, and running back Saquon Barkley at one. The annual list is voted on by players from across the NFL who compile their own lists between Thanksgiving and New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
Allen shot up the ranks this season after finishing nine spots lower at 12 for 2024. Still, it\u2019s perhaps a bit shocking to those outside the NFL that Allen didn\u2019t finish at one, and wasn\u2019t even voted as the best quarterback in the league. All lists are subjective, and the MVP award was the most hotly debated topic for much of last season, thanks to Allen and Jackson\u2019s play \u2014 and even Barkley. But it\u2019s fair to say that Allen lacks the same supporting cast for both Jackson and Barkley.<\/p>\n
The Bills open up their 2025 season on Sunday, September 7, playing host to Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens under the spotlight that is Sunday Night Football on NBC. It\u2019s a rematch of last season\u2019s Divisional Round playoff game, which Buffalo won to advance to the AFC Championship Game. Now, two of the NFL\u2019s top three players will meet again to get the season started in the most fitting way possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The countdown to naming the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 concluded on Monday evening, with the top…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[64043,56750,49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-113557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-buffalo-bills-discussion","tag-buffalo-bills-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
