You will be shocked at the 6 Rams that are not on this Top 100 list and 1 that is

The NFL offseason fills the void of newsworthy stories in one of three ways: revisiting the past, showcasing the stories of coaches and players in the present, or projecting or ranking teams or players in the future. Well, CBS Sports NFL analyst Pete Prisco is trying the latter option by revealing his Top 100 NFL Players in 2024. Unfortunately, Pete Prisco’s list is a repetitive list of players from the same six NFL teams:

While I won’t deny that many players on these teams are truly solid, I would argue that the bias of revisiting the same six teams in any star-studded roster for the 2024 NFL season creates a veil of insincerity over the whole product.

Am I bitter that only one LA Rams player appears on the list? Maybe. But in a rookie season in which WR Puka Nacua broke the NFL’s all-time receiving records and finished fourth overall in receiving yards in 2023, you have every right to expect making him appear higher than the 10th WR on this list, and 66th. overall player.

How many LA Rams have been snubbed? The list is incredibly longer than you think:

Among all the players and accomplishments in the 2023 NFL season, CBS Sports NFL analyst Pete Prisco can only find one player on the LA Rams roster who deserves a Top 100 ranking? No wonder so many Rams fans have become frustrated and disenchanted with the offseason rankings.

I’d say at least seven players on the Rams roster legitimately deserve a Top 100 ranking, and I may have missed a player or two. This is not due to wearing pink courses or simply taking shots in the dark. With each alternative listed above, I’ve cited objective reasons why Rams players have objective evidence to make the Top 100.

Of course, this assumes that the objective is to establish an objective and defensible list.

Thanks for reading.
