Welcome to ranks 60-51 for the r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2024 Season!
Players whose average rank landed them in places 60-51 are on this portion of the list revealed today. Players are associated with the team they finished playing for at the end of the 2024 season
Below you will see some write-ups from the community summarizing the players’ 2024 season and why they were among the best in 2024. 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 2024
- Step 3: The Grind. We instructed users to tier positions groups into T25, T50, etc based on 2024 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 60-51 in the r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2024 Season!

Our beloved Buffalo, despite being a mid-sized, far-removed, down-on-its-luck Rust Belt city, is known for many things. You’ve got your chicken wings, Beef on Weck, Niagara Falls, and of course a superstar Quarterback and league-MVP in Joshua Patrick Allen. But there’s one thing that most people take for granted about the Queen City of the Lakes, even though things wouldn’t be the same without it — the shnow.
Lake effect be damned, the biggest pile-driver of powder in Buffalo in 2024 was Dion Dawkins, the shnowman himself. The four-time pro-bowl offensive tackle led a Bills O-line that allowed a league-best 14 sacks. It is said that games are won in the trenches, despite the fact that its heroes are often unsung and overlooked. With an overall PFF grade of 72.9 (33rd among tackles), 81.2 pass blocking grade (16th) and 3 individual sacks allowed, Dawkins may be overlooked, but he should certainly not be unsung. His durability, quick feet, and stifling strength allow him to reliably seal the edge against oncoming pass rushers and enable Josh Allen to make dynamic plays all season long. Watch him reliably shut down a much younger Jared Verse, who went on to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The 31-year-old Dawkins is under contract with the Bills through the 2027 season, and Buffalo will continue to rely on him as a leader in protection after focusing mainly on beefing up the defense in the draft.
On a more personal note, after the Bills traded WR Stefon Diggs to the Texans before the start of last season, my wife was in need of a new team jersey. After presenting her with several options in a meticulous slideshow presentation, you already shnow she picked Dawkins, and I can think of no higher praise. Although when I sent my dad this picture during week 1, he replied, “Really, a lineman?”
#59 - Malik Nabers - New York Giants - Wide Receiver

Big Blue seems to have struck big gold after drafting LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers at #6 overall last April. The rookie wideout posted impressive numbers in the 2024 season — 1,204 yards (7th), 109 catches (5th), and 7 touchdowns. He was also only the fifth rookie ever to eclipse 100 receptions in a season. All of this, mind you, while catching passes from the likes of Daniel Stephen Dimes III, Drew Lock, and Tommy “Cutlets” DeVito. No shade to any of those guys, but I think it goes without saying that Nabers did not enter the league with the most fruitful of QB situations.
Despite his team’s 3-14 record, Nabers posted numerous standout performances and highlights throughout the 2024 season. He logged 127 yards and a touchdown in a narrow Week 2 loss to the Commanders, and 171 yards and 2 TDs in a Week 17 win against the Colts. Throughout the season, he showcased his route running abilities and talent for separating, even when having to slow down and make contested catches off underthrown or otherwise misplaced passes from his struggling QBs.
As one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise dismal Giants season, Nabers was not shy about calling out his team’s lackluster performance (he called the team “soft” after a Week 12 loss to the Bucs, but later walked the comments back), and fired back at a prickly New York media corps that occasionally questioned whether persistent dropped passes were holding back his game. “I don’t care if I drop the ball six times,” he asserted, “keep throwing me the ball.”
As the undisputed WR1 in heading into his sophomore season in New York, the Giants revamped QB room will certainly do just that. Nabers will look to haul in passes from Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and/or rookie Jaxson Dart in 2025, and the G-men will continue to hold out hope that Nabers can become a permanent fixture of the promised Brian Daboll offense that can restore them to glory.
#58 - Trey McBride - Arizona Cardinals - Tight End

Like many tight ends before him, Trey McBride didn’t exactly light up the league at first. In the first 8 games of his rookie year, he posted just three receptions for 24 yards. The Cardinals coaching staff clearly saw his potential, though, and McBride was thrust into action when teammate Zach Ertz went down to injury. Trey’s playing time went from 23.9% of snaps played in the first half of his season to 83.5% in the second half, and he showed flashes of the player he’d soon become. Year two followed a similar pattern to year one. McBride played in a part-time role to start the year, until once again, he was thrust into the starting lineup when Ertz hit the IR again. From then, McBride finally broke through. In his first game back in the starting lineup, he hauled in 10 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown, and he finished the rest of the year strong, ending with 825 yards. There was no shortage of hype for McBride entering 2024, and he did not disappoint, catching 111 receptions for 1146 yards, 4th and 11th in the league respectively, and earning him his first career appearance on this top 100 list.
McBride is a prototypical receiving tight end for the modern game, splitting his time inline and in the slot and winning snaps with his great route running, hands, and exceptional speed for the position. He can win against any defensive scheme, like finding the soft spot straight up the seam, getting between two defenders on a corner route against zone, or in man coverage against a cornerback on a crosser out of the slot. By far the most fun way Trey McBride can beat defenders, though, is through the air. And I don’t mean through the air as in passing, I mean through the air as in literally jumping over defenders. This season, McBride had not one, not two, not three, not four, but [five times](reddit.com/…/highlight_trey_mcbride_with_yet_anot……
