After disrespecting Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan by ranking him as the 69th best NFL player in 2018, wide receiver Julio Jones has received the same treatment. After leading the NFL in targets (170) and receiving yards (1,677) in 2018, NFL players deemed Julio worthy of being a top-10 player, coming in at the 9th spot. Julio was ranked the 4th best NFL player following the 2017 season, and somehow, like Ryan, took a fall following an improved season.
The “Top 100” is a ranking compiled by NFL players, which has turned into more of a popularity contest than an actual list of the NFL’s best talent.
