Various NFL journalists and analysts have been releasing their Top 100 players list for 2021 over the last few weeks. Dalton Miller, a Lead NFL Analyst for Pro Football Network, is the latest to release his rankings, which can be found here.
Colts’ defensive tackle DeForest Buckner comes in at No. 19. Buckner, whom Indianapolis traded the 13th overall selection in the 2020 draft to acquire, was as advertised for the team last season.
The first-team All-Pro selectee was second to only Rams’ defensive tackle Aaron Donald in sacks with 9.5. Additionally, Buckner is ranked as the second-highest defensive tackle on Miller’s list, which many would say is exactly where he belongs.
