The NFL Network has picked their list of the top 100 players as the 2022 season draws closer, but back-to-back MVP Aaron Rodgers was only able to take third place.
Topping the list in first place was a familiar name in Tom Brady with the legendary quarterback chosen by the players as the best in the league for the fourth time since 2011. The NFL’s oldest active player needs no introduction as he posted career-high numbers in completions, passing yards as well as tossing 43 touchdowns to just six interceptions in what was his 22nd year in the league.
The 45-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers star had an eventful offseason, however, as he announced his retirement before quickly unretiring soon after. He will go into the upcoming season aiming to add to his bumper list of achievements and accolades, most notably his record seven Super Bowl titles, but he remains a player who continues to compete at a high level.
