Welcome to ranks 80-71 for the r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2023 Season!
Players whose average rank landed them in places 80-71 are on this portion of the list revealed today. Players are associated with the team they finished playing for at the end of the 2023 season
Below you will see some write-ups from the community summarizing the players’ 2023 season and why they were among the best in 2023. Stats for each player are included below. Additionally, their ranks from previous years are available for y’all to see
METHODOLOGY
Link to more detailed writeup on our methodology
- Step 1: A Call to Rankers right after the Conference Championship games
- Step 2: Rankers from each team nominated players to rank, with a 11 game minimum threshold. Players are associated with the team they played for in 2023
- Step 3: The Grind. We instructed users to tier positions groups into T25, T50, etc based on 2023 regular season play only. This took several weeks as the rankers tiered each position group and discussed them. There were no individual player threads and no arbitrary position caps. Just questions and rankings.
- Step 4: Users submitted their own personal Top 125 lists.
- Step 5: User lists were reviewed by myself and u/mattkud. The rankers were expected to answer questions about their lists. They were allowed to make any changes to their list, and were not forced to make any changes
- Step 6: The Reveal… where we are now!
And without further ado, here are the players ranked 80-71 in the r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2023 Season!

From the very beginning of this season, Jared Goff continued to cement his image as the loveable underdog of the NFL — so much so, in fact, that at this point I question whether it’s even right to call him an underdog. After handling the Chiefs in the season opener, the Lions came within one half of ending the season with a rematch in Super Bowl LVIII. The Lions made their first NFC Championship game appearance in three decades, and have certainly come a long way from starting the 2021 season 0-10-1 with Goff at the helm.
In 2023, Goff finished 2nd in passing yards and 4th in TDs, and posted steady highlights throughout the season. His on-the-field numbers certainly position him as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFC, which remains a wide-open conference heading into the 2024 season.
The blockbuster news this offseason was of course the massive, $212 million, four-year contract extension that the Lions goffered their quarterback. The deal craned necks and raised eyebrows around the league, but in my opinion the money is more than justified. Goff has proven himself a capable starter who can lead his team deep into the postseason, and in this league, when you find that, you lock it up.
Goff will certainly continue to have his doubters after the Lions lost a 17-point lead to the 49ers in the NFCCG, and QBs are often judged on wins more than anything. However, the city of Detroit seems to be standing firmly behind their field general, and Goff will look to lead the Lions to the promised pridelands in 2024.

Keenan Allen, one of the two remaining San Diego Chargers (sob), quite probably had his best season in 2023. We started the season with the expectations of at least making the playoffs again, it did not come to be but that was no fault of Keenan considering that he was our most consistent player. Let’s check out his stats here:
| Games | Receptions | Yards | Y/R | TDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 108 | 1243 | 11.5 | 7 |
Honestly if he did not get injured and then sidelined for the season since there was no point in him coming back since Herbert was injured as well he would for sure reach 1.7k yards season considering he was the only consistent target.
He lined up everywhere and did most damage in short to medium routes, constantly being open with sure hands. Fellow ranker /u/Falt_ssb posted a 3 part tweet with some film cuts to showcase just how good he was. He will be an excellent player for the Bears and will for sure help Caleb’s development since he can rely on Keenan almost always being open if everything else breaks down. And hey, if Caleb busts, Keenan can be a QB too.

TJ Hockenson’s first full season in the Vikings’ system was a solid step forward in 2023. Hock stepped up his blocking game and had his highest career yards per game, receptions per game, catch %, yard per target and in only 15 games fell just shy of 100 receptions (95) and 1k receiving yards (960). In a year plagued with injuries at our QB position and several different guys slinging the rock, TJ provided stability for our run game as a blocker and an outlet for the pass game.
When you think of TJ, you think of his long flowing…routes and beautiful lock… down blocks he provides. We have flash with Addison and JJ, but that passing game was built around a foundation of Hockenson’s ability to move the chains, extend drives and pass block. His highlight reel from 2023 isn’t the flashiest, but that’s not his role. He brought the midwestern grit and grind to the field that many offenses need. Let’s all pass our best on to him as he recovers from a torn MCL and ACL at the end of the season as his former team tried to get one last helping of kneecaps before winning the North.
#77 - Quincy Williams - New York Jets - Off-Ball Linebacker

In 2022, Quinnen Williams, the star of the Jets vaunted defense, broke onto the scene with double digit sacks en route to his first 1st Team All-Pro selection. Refusing to be upstaged by his younger brother, Quincy Williams got to work. After flaming out with the Jaguars to start his career, Quincy found a place in New York as the Jets starting linebacker, and was awarded a new contract prior to the 2023 season. Williams immediately made the contract look like a steal, as he took a massive leap from solid to elite, earning himself 1st Team All-Pro honors as a crucial part of one of the best defenses in the league.
What makes Quincy Williams so special? At 5’11”, he’s somewhat short for a linebacker, but he makes up for it with sheer explosiveness and speed. In run defense, his processing and downhill speed makes him oftentimes look like a bullet shot into the backfield straight towards the running back. Watch this goal line stand against the Eagles. Quincy shoots the gap and is tackling Swift in the backfield less than two seconds after the snap, possibly preventing a touchdown on the play. Watch again on this play against the Chargers. Quincy watches the play develop, and the instant he sees Ekeler cut back towards his side, he darts into the backfield for an impressive TFL. It’s not just downhill speed, either. His lateral quickness is just as impressive, as shown by this play against the Eagles. When the play is towards the weak side, Quincy beats his blocker over the top, and when his fellow linebackers are engaged with their blockers, Williams is already where he needs to be and is rewarded with another TFL. The same speed and explosiveness he has is displayed when he’s asked to …
