  Today marks the second to last installment of my annual big list! Today we break all the way into my Top 25 players going into this upcoming season and will stop at 11, with THE Top 10 coming next time. Lets go. 25. Saquon Barkley, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles | LAST YEAR: #51 2023 stats: 247 carries for 962 yards, 6 TDs rushing | 41 receptions for 280 yards, 4 TDs receiving (limited to 14 games, injury) After an injury riddled couple of seasons in New York, Saquon Barkley found some health in 2022 and re-introduced himself to the NFL world with a 1,300+ yard rushing campaign. The result of that was him getting back onto the list at #51, he followed that up this past season with another semi injury riddled season in which he was good, but not a top 10 back in football. However, he rises so dramatically high back into the top 25 following this is because of what I am projecting for him in 2024. If he can't stay healthy, all of this is moot, and he should fall mightily a year ...

  We are starting to get close to the end here of the annual list! Today we will enter into the top 40 players for the upcoming season and end off right at spot #26, leading us to next time out going into the top 25 all the way to player 11, before finally reaching THE top 10! Here we go. 40. Daron Bland, Cornerback, Dallas Cowboys | LAST YEAR: N/A 2023 stats: 69 total tackles, 9 INTs (5-returned for TDs), 15 pass deflections Daron Bland is coming off of a sophomore season for the ages. Bland came into the league one year prior as an unheralded 5th round pick, but quickly found his footing in a loaded Dallas secondary and made headlines with 5 INTs as a rookie, 2nd most in the league. Fans were excited to see what he could do in 2023, and boy did he exceed those expectations for the most part in a big way. Bland led the entire NFL in interceptions with a whopping NINE. Not only that, Bland had 5 pick-sixes! FIVE! That is an NFL record for a single season is just insane. He had more...

  Today we take another large chunk out of my annual top 100 players list as we will see players 60-41! Lets get into it! 60. Joshua Hines-Allen, Edge Rusher, Jacksonville Jaguars | LAST YEAR: N/A 2023 stats: 66 total tackles, 17.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 INT Joshua Hines-Allen (formerly known as Josh Allen) finally makes his debut on my list after 5 pro seasons. Allen has always been a good young player, but aside from a 10.5 sack rookie season, has never fully lived up to the hype he got being selected 7th overall in 2019. He put it all together in 2023 and suddenly has become one of the best pure pass rushers in football. Hines-Allen exploded for 17.5 sacks (2nd most in football) and 2 forced fumbles. His athleticism was on full display as he was a genuine game wrecker for the Jags. He made his second career Pro Bowl and was paid a big money extension to remain a Jaguar for a long time. It was awesome to see Hines-Allen finally live up to his potential, and at 27, it looks li...
