**NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2025 Unveiled: Mayfield’s Resurgence and Mitchell’s Immediate Impact Highlight Early Rankings**
The NFL’s highly anticipated “Top 100 Players of 2025,” voted on by the players themselves, is currently being revealed via X and NFL+. The countdown is on as the league gradually unveils the list, culminating in the top 10 announcement on Sunday, September 1st, at 8 p.m. ET live on NFL Network.
Early reveals have already showcased some notable players, including Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell.
Mayfield, coming off a stellar 2024 season, has made a triumphant return to the Top 100, matching his highest ranking from his rookie year. He threw for 4,500 yards with a 71.4% completion rate and 28 touchdowns while leading the Buccaneers to their second consecutive NFC South title. His impressive performance earned him MVP and Offensive Player of the Year votes. NFL Pro Insight notes Mayfield’s record-breaking 106.8 passer rating and 71.4% completion percentage for the Buccaneers.
Rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell also made a splash. The Eagles’ first-round pick quickly established himself as a shutdown corner, consistently shadowing the league’s top wide receivers. While his stats might not immediately stand out, his tight coverage effectively discouraged quarterbacks from throwing his way. Mitchell even silenced Commanders star Terry McLaurin in Week 11. Despite finishing second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, Mitchell is already playing at a veteran level. According to NFL Pro Insight, Mitchell allowed the fewest yards after catch (1.5) as the nearest defender in coverage among players with 30-plus targets.
Stay tuned to X and NFL+ for more reveals as the countdown to the top 10 continues! Check back on Tuesday for the announcement of the 48th and 47th ranked players.
