How does one go about ranking the NFL's best players?
After all, a quarterback has vastly different responsibilities than a defensive tackle. Impact varies.
Bleacher Report's six NFL writers—Gary Davenport (analyst), Mike Freeman (columnist), Brad Gagnon (analyst), Matt Miller (NFL draft lead writer), Brent Sobleski (analyst) and Mike Tanier (NFL national lead writer)—each ranked their top 50 players going into the 2019 campaign. The corresponding numbers for each player were tallied. The lower the score, the higher an individual's ranking.
A total of 82 players received at least one vote. The staff recognized eight different quarterbacks, including five of the league's top 10 players.
