NFL Trade Rumors
July is the driest month of the year when it comes to NFL news, which makes it the perfect time for something like a top 100 players list. For the fourth straight year, we’re happy to bring you our 2025 NFLTR Top 100 Players.
We’re not the only outlet that does a top 100 — NFL Media has done one with at least some democratic input from current players since 2011 — but our goal is to give more credit to players and positions that are often easy to overlook, especially in the trenches. We build it using traditional and advanced statistics, awards, positional value, career trajectory and a good old-fashioned dash of the eye test. Our list won’t be perfect but the goal is to give as much credit where it’s due as possible.
We’ll be rolling this list out over the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back for updates to our 2025 NFLTR Top 100 Players list.

He had two interceptions and 11 pass deflections, while PFF still had him graded as the No. 11 overall corner. First-year Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver moved Ramsey around the defense far more than his predecessor, DC Vic Fangio.

That’s partially why Ramsey’s completion percentage was higher, as his average depth of target also fell to a career low at just 7.7 yards. From the slot, he was able to be a factor as a blitzer with 12 total pressures, leading all cornerbacks last season, and a sack. It stands to reason the Steelers will look to use Ramsey in a similar way.
Hill’s statistics and level of play fell off dramatically last year. After combining for over 3,500 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns in his first two seasons in Miami, Hill was held to 959 yards and six scores in 2024. That, combined with a massive year for the receiver position with several bright new stars, contributed to a slide from No. 11 to No. 99 on this list. Although he played all 17 games, Hill never seemed healthy the entire season and had surgery this offseason to correct an...
