The NFL began revealing its annual Top 100 players list at the end of June, and thus far, three Green Bay Packers have made an appearance.

How have their rankings fluctuated since last season, and who else might we expect to see?

How It All Works

The NFL’s Top 100 list began in 2011 as a televised lead up to the following season, and features a grouping of top players that are voted on by their peers.

Voting typically opens around the holidays and continues through the end of the playoffs the previous year, with participants ranking their top twenty players.

First place votes receive twenty points, second place receives nineteen points, and so on down the list.

The final point totals are then turned into a Top 100 by the NFL.

So where are the Packers ranked?

#74 – Josh Jacobs

Starting running back Josh Jacobs was the first to appear on the list for the Packers this season.

He took a bit of a tumble in ranking compared to last season, dropping forty-one spots, but the margin between most of the players toward the end of this list is probably pretty slim.

The drop also makes sense considering the struggles that the Green Bay Packers had running the ball last season, and if they are able to clean up their offensive line play, we may see a bounce-back performance from Jacobs.

His appearance on this year’s Top 100 marks the fifth selection of his career, now two in a row in Green Bay to go along with three selections as a Raider.

#72 – Jordan Love

Jordan Love made his third consecutive appearance on this list for the Packers this year, but to be honest, I find his ranking to be quite egregious.

He fell four spots in this rendition despite a career-best season, and this valuation puts him in the same tier as Baker Mayfield, who was ranked at #77.

It’ll be interesting to see which other quarterbacks are slated above him, but at this point, I think it’s safe to say that Love is a top ten passer in the league with nothing but room to grow.

Depending on how the Packers perform this year, I think we could see a massive leap in public and player perception when it comes to Love.

#70 – Xavier McKinney

Just this morning, Xavier McKinney was revealed as the list’s third Green Bay Packer.

Like Jacobs, McKinney has gone back to back since joining the Green and Gold, but he also dropped forty spots.

That likely has to do with McKinney’s lack of interceptions this past season compared to his first, but his impact on the defense has been no less significant.

Teams simply haven’t thrown at him.

McKinney will easily go down as one of the best safeties this decade, so a fall off this large feels pretty disrespectful.

Who’s Missing?

In my opinion, the only remaining lock for the Green Bay Packers is Micah Parsons.

He is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the NFL right now, and he commands a lot of respect from his peers.

Considering his performance before his injury, I think it could be reasonable to see him in top ten, but anything outside the top twenty would a be stretch.

We might also see Tucker Kraft, but I think it might be a year too soon on that one.

With another performance like the beginning of last season, he could cement himself as a top tight end, and that would earn him placement here.

Other than those two, no other players have established themselves enough.
