Rams' Myles Garrett tops NFL's 'Top 100' list, edging out No. 2 Josh Allen
Garrett finished ahead of No. 2 Josh Allen, becoming just the third defensive player to top the top 100.
The NFL's "Top 100" voters have crowned Myles Garrett as the best player in the league. Garrett, a new star for the Rams' defense, is the third defender in the show's 16-year history to secure the award, following J.J. Watt in 2015 and Aaron Donald in 2019. Garrett's performance soared from 8th place in 2024 to 5th in 2024, and he topped the rankings last year.
His standout 2024 season included breaking the league's single-season sack record with 23 sacks in 17 games, earning him Defensive Player of the Year and All-Pro honors. The Browns traded Garrett to the Rams for Jared Verse, along with future draft picks. Josh Allen of the Bills came in second, followed by Bijan Robinson of the Falcons.
The top 10 consists primarily of offensive players, with quarterbacks dominating the list nine times in total. Garrett's exceptional 2025 season, marked by his success with a struggling Browns team, solidifies his position at the top of the rankings. The Rams, boasting offensive firepower, are favored to win Super Bowl LXI, further justifying Garrett's ranking.
While opinions may vary, Garrett's impact on the game and the circumstances of his achievement make him a deserving No. 1 pick.
