NFL Top 100 Player Rankings Highlight Bijan Robinson and George Kittle

The National Football League unveiled its annual Top 100 player list, a player‑voted ranking that began on June 22. Among the 12 contenders for the No. 1 spot is Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who led the league with 2,298 scrimmage yards in 2025 and is the first running back in several years to be in serious contention. Other notable candidates mentioned include quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, defensive standouts Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, and wide receivers such as Tyreek Hill, the 2024 No. 1.

Separately, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was announced at No. 46, rising from No. 31 the prior year. Teammate Trent Williams praised Kittle as “the best tight end in football.” Fans debated the ranking on social media, noting his 2025 season of 57 receptions for 628 yards and a torn Achilles suffered in the Wild Card round, which leaves his Week 1 status uncertain as the 49ers open the season in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams.
