On the eve of the 2018 NFL season, it’s a time for expert predictions.
Exactly what state those predictions will be in by December remains to be seen, but ESPN’s recently surveyed a field of football experts in a search for the NFL’s 100 best players.
The methodology was purely based on projection for the coming season, and not past performance. For this reason, Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley was listed 87th.
Patriots fans won’t be surprised to learn that Tom Brady is predictably high on the list. Described as one of the “Two GOATs,” Brady is tucked in behind Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in second place.
