Drake Maye went from unranked to the eighth-best player in the NFL in one year. How does that even happen? And how does the reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford, still land below him? So where does Maye actually sit among the NFL’s best right now, and who else forced their way onto PFN’s Top 100 after being left off a year ago? If you follow the PFN Top 100 every year, this edition is the clearest look at how a single season can completely reshape the board and change who belongs in the conversation for the league’s best.
We cover all five, plus Christian McCaffrey’s comeback from an injury-wrecked 2024 and the rest of PFN’s biggest risers in the Top 100, in a no-fence-sitting top-five list hosted by PFN’s Jacob Infante.
