This year, the annual NFL Top 100 list is being revealed over the not so brief span of June 22 through September 4. A couple of former Philadelphia Eagles players have already made appearances (A.J. Brown at No. 80, Josh Sweat at No. 78) but now a current member of the Birds has finally been revealed.
Jalen Hurts is checking in at No. 56, according to this list determined by player voting. Here’s a highlights clip that features praise from his peers:
For the third year in a row, Hurts’ ranking in the NFL Top 100 has dropped. He was No. 3 in 2023, No. 15 in 2024, and No. 19 in 2025.
Hurts is the eighth quarterback to make the list thus far. He finished above the following players at his position:
- No. 59 – Bo Nix
- No. 62 – Trevor Lawrence
- No. 69 – Lamar Jackson
- No. 72 – Jordan Love
- No. 77 – Baker Mayfield
- No. 85 – Brock Purdy
- No. 98 – Bryce Young
It’s interesting to see this player-voted list contrasted with the recent ESPN survey of front office executives and coaches. The latter had Hurts ranked as the league’s seventeenth-best quarterback, which feels harsh. Comparatively speaking, Hurts clearly draws more respect from his fellow players.
Perhaps none more than former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who went as far to say that Hurts should top the list:
I’d guess even some of the biggest Hurts supporters would admit that’s extreme. But the sentiment is admirable.
While it’s not surprising to see CJGJ hype up his former teammate and fellow Super Bowl champion, it is pretty notable that he’s putting Hurts above his current Buffalo Bills teammate Josh Allen.
What do you think of Hurts’ placement in this year’s NFL Top 100 list? Too high, too low, just right? Scroll down and join the discussion in the comments!
