Cameron Jordan
New Orleans Saints · DE
2025 stats: 17 games | 47 tackles | 15 tfl | 10.5 sacks | 15 QB hits | 2 FF
An eight-time Pro Bowler and member of the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team, Jordan is making his ninth appearance on the Top 100 after his 15th NFL season. Will this be his last? Jordan, who turns 37 on July 10, re-signed with the Saints on June 16 for what he called “one final season.” Ranked 50th in 2023 when he last appeared, Jordan’s 10.5 sacks in 2025 were his most in a campaign since 2021. Translation: Jordan’s still got it.
NFL Pro Insight for Jordan: Jordan’s 30 QB pressures were his most in a season since 2023 and his 9.4 pressure rate was his highest since 2020.

Quenton Nelson
Indianapolis Colts · G
2025 stats: 17 games | 1,039 snaps | 15 QBP allowed | 1 sack allowed (per Pro Football Focus)
The No. 6 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft has been a Pro Bowler in each of his eight NFL seasons. However, this marks just his fourth selection to the NFL Top 100 squad and his first since 2022, when he cracked the top 30 at No. 28 — his highest career selection. Nelson garnered an 84.7 overall grade from PFF in 2025, which was fourth among 81 qualified guards. An exceptional run blocker, the three-time All-Pro helped pave the way for a Colts offense that finished in the top 10 in points and yards.
NFL Pro Insight for Nelson: Nelson had a 96.7 playtime percentage, highest on the Colts offense.

Bryce Young
Carolina Panthers · QB
2025 stats: 16 games | 63.6 pct | 3,011 pass yds | 6.3 ypa | 23 pass TD | 11 INT | 216 rush yds | 2 rush TDs
The No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft quarterbacked the Panthers to their most successful campaign since his selection. Carolina won the NFC South crown, keyed by a massive upset in the regular season against the Rams before a heartbreaking three-point wild-card loss to L.A. In his second season under head coach Dave Canales, Young established career bests in passing yards, touchdowns, success percentage (44.2) and yards per game (188.2). He’s also earning the respect of his NFL brethren, as exemplified by his NFL Top 100 debut.
NFL Pro Insight for Young: In the regular season, Young completed 25 of 53 passes for 306 yards and five touchdowns on extended dropbacks (4-plus seconds after the snap), translating to a completion percentage (47.2%) nearly 20 percentage points higher than his 27.6% rate over this first two seasons combined.

Ernest Jones
Seattle Seahawks · LB
2025 stats: 15 games | 126 tackles | 4 tfl | 0.5 sacks | 7 PDs | 5 INTs
Jones provided a fiery presence for the Super Bowl champions. Now a two-time Super Bowl winner (his first coming with the Rams), Jones was Seattle’s leading tackler in the regular season and playoffs. Perhaps most impressively, the backer led the squad in interceptions with six total, including the postseason. Jones is making his NFL Top 100 debut and is the first member of the reigning Super Bowl champs on the 2026 list. Spoiler alert: He won’t be the last.
NFL Pro Insight for Jones: During the Seahawks’ Super Bowl postseason run, Jones played 95.1% of Seattle’s defensive snaps and led Seattle with 25 tackles.
