- [Player 2]: The 2024 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year had a record-breaking season, becoming only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular season. His performance was instrumental in the [Team Name]'s Super Bowl run, racking up 2,504 yards (including playoffs) and setting a new league record. Last year's ranking: No. 86.

Cardinals in the Mix?
It's confirmed that at least one Arizona Cardinals player will be featured in the Top 100, landing somewhere between 100 and 91. But who else from the Cardinals made the cut? Budda Baker, coming off a career year with 164 tackles, seems like a shoo-in. Tight end Trey McBride also put up impressive numbers, potentially earning his first-ever Top 100 ranking.
"I truly love this defense, because it gives me the ability to kind of be everywhere,” Baker told ESPN’s Mina Kimes, highlighting the defensive scheme's flexibility.
