With the NFL recently coming out with their Top 100 Players of 2019, I thought I would do my own. One especially pertaining to the offensive side of the ball. We will be discussing who I believe are the top 50 offensive players in the NFL. The catch for this is that I limited my offense to the standard positions of quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end. Sorry offensive tackles, but this is what we are going with. I also configured a list that puts all of these guys in order from 50 eliminating OT’s and all defense. I understand that only gets you 49 players, but I threw in Lamar Jackson so to speak for their #50. I will be putting three stat lines and where they stack up to the NFL’s list that I modified. The NFL’s list is presented below with the OT’s and defense taken out of the equation so you can use it as a cheat sheet for my list coming up.
