Multiple TGH staff members voted on their top 100 players, who were given scores based on their ranks, then sorted by their final score. The players were ranked regardless of position, and the editors broke any ties at their discretion.

Each article in this series will list 10 players at a time, with brief comments on their 2021 performances and what is expected of them in 2023. Make sure to check back every Friday for the next 10 players in our list!

Today, we list and evaluate players 20-11 in our list of the 2023 NFL Top 100.

[Check out Nos. 10-1 here]

20. Pat Surtain II

Surtain’s effectiveness comes from being a shutdown corner. He doesn’t allow receivers much wiggle room. Surtain did have 10 passes defended and two interceptions last season, but looking beyond the box score shows his real value, as he is able to limit some of the game’s biggest receivers. -Joe DiTullio

19. Jalen Ramsey

Ramsey makes the move from L.A. to South Beach this season, hoping to add some much-needed “oomph” to the middling Dolphins defense. Even though teams don’t tend to throw his direction very much due to his impeccable man-to-man skills, he still collected four picks last year and made the Pro Bowl. Ramsey still has some years left in his prime, and now lands in one of the most talent-crowded divisions in football. Watching him cover Diggs and Wilson should be a fireworks show. -Ben Hendricks

18. Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey is finally back to full form on a Super Bowl contending team. The reigning Comeback
Player of the Year runner-up got to show the world what he is still capable of totaling 1,880 yards
from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns only missing one game this season. It is an amazing
accomplishment to do what he did in any season, let alone one in which he got traded. He’s still dominating, and it is truly incredible. -Ian Rady

17. Fred Warner

Warner isn’t a household name yet, but he should be. In 2020 and 2022, he made First Team All-Pro and was nominated to the Pro Bowl. He grabbed 120 tackles in 17 games last season, and also grabbed an interception and a forced fumble. While his sack numbers aren’t standout, he’s one of the most sure-handed defensive players in the league. -Ben Hendricks

16. Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner

Gardner started his NFL career with a bang in 2022. He won Defensive Rookie of the Year, finished eighth in Defensive Player of the Year voting, made First Team All-Pro and the Pro Bowl all in his first season in the league. He led the league in pass defenses with 20, grabbed two interceptions and wrapped up 75 combined tackles. There’s certainly a lot to be excited when it comes to Sauce’s career moving forward. -Ben Hendricks

15. Jalen Hurts

Hurts may very well have been the MVP of the NFL had ne not missed two games due to injury last year. In addition to leading the Eagles to the Super Bowl, he threw for a career-high 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns. He added 13 more scores on the ground and finished as the MVP runner-up, a Pro Bowler, a Second Team All-Pro selection and a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year. Hurts has arrived and the only thing to do now is wait to see if he duplicates it with a new offensive coordinator next season. -Ben Hendricks

14. T.J. Watt

Coming off his 2021 AP Defensive Player of the Year season, Watt performed at a high level
through adversity. In the Steelers transitional season without Big Ben Roethlisburger as their
leader, Watt performed at a high level. While it was a step-down from the previous season, Watt
still totaled 5.5 sacks and 2 interceptions and a Pro Bowl selection. While it wasn’t Watt’s best
season, he is still as highly respected as ever before, living up to his brother’s legacy. -Ian Rady

13. Chris Jones

Jones continued his five year run of racking up accolades in 2022. In the past five seasons, he’s made four Pro Bowls, four All-Pro team selections, finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting and won two Super Bowls. Jones grabbed 15.5 sacks last year, matching a career high. -Ben Hendricks

12. Nick Bosa

Bosa won his first Defensive Player of the Year award last season, finished sixth in MVP voting and made the Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro. He easily led the league in sacks with 18.5 and forced two fumbles while he was at it. He remains one of the most physical players in the league, regardless of position. -Ben Hendricks

11. Josh Allen

The Bills started the 2022 season on fire. Then Allen hurt his arm and things started to sputter. He still finished with a solid season of 4,283 passing yards, 35 touchdowns and 14 interceptions on 63.3 percent completion. Hopefully, when healthy this season, he can find his 2020 form and take the Bills deep into the playoffs. -Joe DiTullio
