Carson Wentz ranked as third best player in the NFL

The NFL Network revealed the order of the final 10 players on their NFL Top 100 list on Monday evening, as teased earlier. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and franchise savior Carson Wentz finished at No. 3 overall. It’s the highest ever debut in NFL Top 100 list history.

The ranking, which is determined by votes from fellow NFL players, is obviously well-deserved. Wentz easily could have been the NFL MVP if he didn’t suffer a season-ending injury in Week 14. He also could’ve finished No. 1 on this list if that didn’t happen. Still, where he did end up is very, very impressive for a second-year player.

Wentz is the fifth Eagle to make this year’s top 100. The other players on the list include: Zach Ertz at 68, Fletcher Cox at 69, Lane Johnson at 95, and Malcolm Jenkins at 96. Those rankings feel too low. And how did Super Bowl hero Brandon Graham get snubbed entirely? Whatever. Just more motivation to have another great year.

Speaking of the future, I’m sure we’ll continue to see Wentz quite high on these lists for many years to come. He’s one special dude.
