Like clockwork, the NFL has unveiled the list of its Top 100 players of 2020. As it has for almost a decade, the list is created by the players themselves, giving us fans a fascinating window into how the men playing the sport feel about each other.
By asking the players directly to make the rankings, the evaluations are done in a subjective way—with each voting player taking their own personal opinions and experiences into account. Where a player ranks on the list can be roughly translated into how much space they occupy in the minds of those they compete against each Sunday.
