And then there were two.
The NFL Top 100 for 2026 is nearly complete with Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson revealed Wednesday at No. 3. He climbed nearly 60 spots from 62nd in 2025.
Here's how the list looks with just two players remaining.
100. New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan
99. Indianapolis Colts OG Quenton Nelson
96. New Orleans Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr.
93. Cleveland Browns LB Carson Schwesinger
87. Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan
86. Los Angeles Chargers LB Tuli Tuipulotu

62. Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence
52. Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs
50. Los Angeles Chargers S Derwin James Jr.
48. Jacksonville Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen
47. Philadelphia Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell
46. San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle
40. San Francisco 49ers OT Trent Williams
39. Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert
38. Philadelphia Eagles CB Cooper DeJean
34. Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley
28. New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez
25. Houston Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr.
19. Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson
18. Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes

5. Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Robinson led the league in yards from scrimmage with 2,298. He ran for 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns while catching 79 passes for 820 yards and four scores.
During the 24-year-old's rookie season, there was a sense of frustration with how coach Arthur Smith deployed him. Smith's exit coincided with his emergence as an elite running back.
Atlanta will continue to put a lot onto Robinson's shoulders in 2026 given it's rolling out a two-deep rotation of Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. The running game is bound to be a focal point of the offense.
The Falcons did at least alleviate one burden for Robinson when they handed him a three-year, $66.8 million extension. He was briefly the highest-paid running back in NFL history until the Detroit Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs eclipsed him.
That payday is unlikely to dampen Robinson's motivation. He'll be looking to add another Pro Bowl and All-Pro honor to his resume, and he may consider it a challenge to retain a top-five ranking in the NFL's annual list.
