Number five I have to start off with Lane Johnson... number four, wide receiver aj Brown... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two Jalen Hurts... And then number one is obvious mister Sequon Barkley.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Feb 15, 2025 - PendingOmar RuizTop Player Lists
He's number five, number four Lane Johnson... Number three A J. Brown... the Super Bowl MVP. Jalen Hurts... Say Awn Barkley again number one
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Feb 15, 2025 Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five... Josh Sweat... They are my number three... Cooper Gene the rookie... Zach Bond again... Jalen not hurts Carter
Number five... I have Jalen Hurts... number four. I put Jordan Mailatta... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two I have Lane Johnson... And the number one I have Saquon Barkley.
"I have Lamar at number five..." "Josh Allen, who was the regular season MVP" (No. 4), "I've got to throw Joe Burrow in here" (No. 3), "I still have Jalen Hurts at number two", "it's obviously it's Patrick Mahomes" at No. 1

Zach bond I had him representing the defense... He's number five, Number four Lane Johnson... Number three A J. Brown... Jalen Hurts... Say Awn Barkley again number one
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Feb 13, 2025 Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five. Josh Sweat... Cooper... They are my number three top five Eagle... Zach Bond again... and honestly, like to Kyle's Jalen not hurts Carter
I think Walter Payton's the best running back I've ever seen. Barry Sanders probably second.
I think Josh Allen, Mahomes to me, John have separated themselves as the best two quarterbacks in the league... And then I think the next tier of quarterbacks after those two starts with Joe Burrow and Jaden Daniels may be right behind him.
you could make the argument because of the last lack of play off success, we got to reorder this is it goes Mahomes, Josh, then Joe Burrow and then Lamar Jackson.
I think it should be a consensus number one. I think it's Stafford... I think I might be Daniel's over and golf... if you're ranking these quarterbacks being pure, I think Hurts would be last.
automatically we're putting Mahomes, Allen and Lamar ahead of anybody in the NFC... I have Alan and Lamar, but it's very close, and I hate that. So you have you have that flipped.
So you just went through my one through four. Yeah, Stafford, goff Daniels Hurts.
so you have Lamar ahead of Alan right now... So you have you have that flipped. / Yes with a sigh.
We're going to give you an end of season list, a recap of the top ten rookie performances in twenty twenty four... Let's start with number ten... Ladd McConkie is number ten... Jayden Daniels comes in at number one in twenty twenty four as our most decorated rookie
So we have four guys and Tier one home Mahomes Allan, Jackson Daniels. Tier two, we have Herbert Golf and Stafford... So I would go Baker first, then Sam Murs... Then I would say Love and then Hurts... So we got bow Knicks in force... Russell Wilson has to be there... C J. Stroud has to be in that conversation.
Top five most impressive pro bowl campaigns... Rashawn Gary became a pro bowler for the first time today... Number four on this list is, a rookie who you can't deny. Brock Bowers... Number three is another tight end... I'm going Trey McBride here... instead, I'm gonna use this spot on a linebacker, Zach Baughn... Number one on the list, though... It's Sam Darnold.
