Pro Football Focus released their 2021 Top 50 players in the NFL list over the last few days. The purpose of the list is not to react to how a player performed in 2020, but rather attempt to project how he will play in 2021. They also stress they did not provide positional weight to a player’s projection, basically meaning a quarterback does not get over up the ranking based on the position he plays.
Where does 2020 First-Team All-Pro, 2020 and 2018 interceptions leader Xavien Howard land on the list? Well, like every other Miami Dolphins player, he does not.
