NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was ranked No. 69 on the NFL Network’s top 100 players list, a significant drop of 67 spots from his 2025 ranking.
- Jackson’s decline in ranking is attributed to a combination of the Ravens barely missing the playoffs, his four-game injury absence, and decreases in both passing and rushing yards.
- The NFL Network’s top 100 players list is determined by player votes, where an unspecified number of players submit their top 20 picks, with points assigned based on ranking positions.
- The voting system tends to favor players performing well in the current season, causing even highly skilled players like Jackson to be underrated during off years.
- The article argues that the ranking drop reflects a flaw in the voting process rather than a true assessment of Jackson’s abilities.
