The top 10 contained three Dallas Cowboys players with Dak Prescott ranked third overall. Prescott’s high ranking can be linked to the quarterback recently signing a four year contract extension with the franchise in the offseason.

The other players to feature on the top 10 list included the likes of Joe Burrow (Bengals), CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys), Justin Fields (Bears), Ezekiel Elliott, (Cowboys), Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Rob Gronkowski (Buccaneers) and Josh Allen (Bills) in that order.

Lawrence was the only rookie to feature in the top 10. But one big name missing from this list is that of Aaron Rodgers. The reason for his absence from this list can be pinpointed down to his ongoing struggles with the franchise’s front office which saw him nearly retiring.
