Having already been named to the NFL's All-Decade team of the 2010s, it should come as no surprise that Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is once again regarded as one of the Top 10 players in the league.

Donald's NFL peers voted him No. 3 on the NFL's "Top 100 Players of 2020" list, giving him his third-straight appearance in the Top 10. He was ranked No. 1 last year and No. 7 in 2018.

The University of Pittsburgh product has appeared on the Top 100 every year he's been in the league, too, checking in at No. 92 in 2015, No. 14 in 2016 and No. 15 in 2017 in addition to the trio of Top 10 rankings.

Statistically, Donald led the Rams with 20 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks this past season despite facing two or more blockers on 319 of his rushes, most of any interior defender according to Pro Football Focus. He has led the Rams in tackles for loss every year he's been with the team and sacks in each of the last five seasons.

With Donald's ranking, the Rams placed three players in this year's NFL Top 100. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp (89) made his first career appearance, while Jalen Ramsey (37) made his third.

I want to know who leapfrogged Donald. If it's Mahomes, that's fine. Who else? Because it'll probably be more bullshit on this list.

The fuck he is. If fucking Lamar Jackson leapfrogged Donald...words cannot properly express my dismay at these players. It'll be a total joke. A scam run by charlatans who don't deserve to make a fucking grocery list, never mind a top 100 list for NFL players.

Ehh, its a meaningless list to kill time this time of year filled with recency bias.

BTW I played a guessing game and thought it was that loudmouth receiver on the aints that would be #2.

In my opinion #1 is Aaron Donald and #2 Mahomes. Hands down best players in the game today. Putting these guys at #3 and #4 is crap. Actually the whole list is crap cuz Woods isnt on it.

This list is overwhelmingly dominated by Offensive skilled players. Donald and Gilmore the only defensive players in the top 10. Still pretty righteous.

1. Mahomes
2. Donald
3. Wilson
4. Jackson

That's the backwards order of the top 4 and it makes more sense. NFL Top 100 is a joke.
