The Los Angeles Rams are making some serious noise on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list this year, landing a ridiculous three players in the top 10. No other team in the league has more than one! But even with all that L.A. firepower, our own Jaxon Smith-Njigba still busted through, solidifying his spot among the absolute best in football.
Myles Garrett Is an Absolute Monster
Look, the Rams might be loaded, and that’s not even underselling it. They’ve got Myles Garrett, Matthew Stafford, and Puka Nacua all chilling in the league’s top-tier. Garrett, who just joined L.A. after a bonkers 2025 season, is a shoo-in for the top spot. The dude broke Michael Strahan’s NFL record with 23 sacks in 2025, which is just insane. He led the whole NFL in sacks! Over the last five seasons, Garrett’s put up 83 sacks, 156 quarterback hits, and 107 tackles for loss. Plus, he generated 401 pressures, second only to Micah Parsons. He also snagged his second Defensive Player of the Year award and made his sixth straight Pro Bowl. If players are voting on pure dominance, Garrett is your number one guy.
Stafford and Nacua are a Problem
Matthew Stafford isn’t far behind Garrett, with a compelling case for a top-three finish himself. The man had an MVP season in 2025, winning his first NFL MVP award by leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and a stunning 46 touchdown passes, all while only throwing eight interceptions. His 71.2 QBR ranked fourth, powering one of the NFL’s most productive offenses. Stafford, at 37, is still proving he can hang with the young guns. And then there’s Puka Nacua, who’s got an interesting case, finishing 2025 leading the NFL with 129 receptions, coming in second with 1,715 receiving yards, and tying for sixth with 10 receiving touchdowns. His 166 targets tell you everything you need to know about him being Stafford’s go-to guy.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s Elite Status Confirmed
But here’s the kicker for us: among all those dominant Rams and other superstars like Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, and Micah Parsons, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is right there in the NFL Top 10. Nacua’s biggest challenge to a top-five ranking? It’s the presence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba himself! That tells you exactly where our guy stands. We knew Jaxon was special, but seeing him up there, holding his own and even challenging established stars, that’s just pure fire. As the final rankings get revealed and we roll into the season, watching Jaxon continue to compete at this elite level is going to be a blast. Get ready, folks, because Jaxon is here to stay among the league’s best!
