Eagles lead NFL top 100 players list as Jets receive zero selections
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles placed eight players on the ESPN top 100 list ahead of the 2026 season, the highest total of any NFL franchise. The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers each earned six spots on the roster rankings. Conversely, the New York Jets were the only team in the league without a single player represented on the list. Philadelphia's selections include quarterback Jalen Hurts, who fell to 97th overall, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who is expected to take on a larger role following the departure of A.J. Brown. While the rankings do not impact regular season outcomes, the contrast highlights the current roster disparity between the two organizations. The New York Jets look to integrate rookie edge rusher David Bailey as they aim to develop more talent within their youth-focused roster.
