Baltimore Ravens’ signal-caller Lamar Jackson is the best player in football at the moment. This is at least what his fellow players think as he was selected No.1 on the NFL’s Top 100 list.

This was Jackson’s first entry on the list and comes after an MVP season in 2019. He finished the year leading NFL in passing touchdowns while setting several records, including most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback.

NFL presents its Top 100 list, which features the best players in the league in the past year, on an annual basis since 2011. The list is based on a poll organized by the NFL in the offseason with players voting on their peers.

The No.2 on this year’s Top 100 was Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson, making a big jump from the 2019’s No.25 position, while LA Rams’ defensive tackle Aaron Donald rounds the top three. They are followed by Kansas City Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes and New Orleans Saints’ wideout Michael Thomas.

The top 10 on the list is dominated by offensive players with just Donald and New England Patriots’ corner Stephon Gilmore being the only players from the other side of the ball.
