Biggest top-10 snub in 'Top 100 Players'? - NFL.com

The “Top 100 Players of 2019” ends Wednesday night, with the 10 highest vote-getters — as voted on by the players themselves — revealed on NFL Network at 9 p.m. ET. The names were revealed Tuesday in alphabetical order:

» Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
» Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
» Antonio Brown, WR, Oakland Raiders
» Aaron Donald, DT, Los Angeles Rams
» Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams
» Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons
» Khalil Mack, OLB, Chicago Bears
» Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
» Von Miller, OLB, Denver Broncos
» Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

A strong case can be made for each player from that list to be included in the top 10, but is there another player who deserves a spot in the elite group? Who is the biggest snub?

“The Top 100 Players of 2019” will conclude Wednesday, July 31 at 9 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

The fact that Hopkins has never been in top 10 floors me

DeAndre Hopkins was 13th in the top 100 last year, and after another phenomenal performance in 2018, he missed the top 10 by ONE spot this time around.
Come on! The veteran wide receiver has carried the
Texans‘ offense for years and 2018 may have been his best yet. Hopkins had the highest percentage of his team’s targets, receptions and receiving yards of any player in 2018. He also had the most receptions (115) without a drop in a season since Pro Football Focus started charting drops in 2007. He makes catches that are out of this world, has the production and is a huge reason the
Texans have been in the playoffs three of the last four years.

Saquon did everything for the Giants … and then some

Saquon Barkley got hosed. The
Giants running back finished his rookie season with 2,028 scrimmage yards — third-most by a rookie in NFL history. He did all of this behind a poor O-line, and I’m convinced he would have been an MVP candidate if the
Giants had stayed relevant down the stretch. Yet, he was voted No. 16 in this year’s top 100. Look at it this way:
Ezekiel Elliott posted 1,994 scrimmage yards as a rookie in 2016, and was voted No. 7 in the ensuing top 100 list. Barkley deserves the same kind of respect.
