Five Detroit Lions players are on the NFL Top 100 list: Here is where they were ranked.

 

The annual NFL Top 100 players list has now been fully released ahead of the 2023-24 season, with the final 10 players coming out on Aug. 3. Although the Lions didn’t have any players who cracked the top 10, they were still well represented, with five Lions making the list.

The NFL Top 100 is voted on by the players itself and is often quibbled with for some surprising rankings. This year, the biggest shock was reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes being slotted at No. 4 overall, despite leading the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back crowns. Despite the flaws, the list is still an interesting talking point and gives you an idea of what the players think of each other.

After finishing 12-5 last year and coming up just short in the NFC championship game to the San Francisco 49ers, it’s no surprise the Lions had five players picked in this year’s crop.

Here’s where the Lions players came in in this year’s NFL Top 100 list:

Sam LaPorta finished his rookie season with an impressive 86 receptions, the fifth most receiving yards by a tight end in the NFL with 889 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. LaPorta offered stability at the tight end spot for the Lions and was a reliable target for Jared Goff on a team that was not littered with playmakers outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown and the two running backs.
