70. Quincy Williams LB Jets

Arguably the best cover linebacker in football, Quincy Williams was a monster last season for the Jets. In coverage last season he posted an 88.7 grade according to PFF, with 139 tackles, and an all-pro selection. Williams will once again be tasked with leading one of the best defenses in football and it will be interesting to watch that defense play with a lead this year.
69. Sam LaPorta TE Lions
LaPorta was a monster in his first year in the NFL. He posted 86 catches, 889 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns in his age 22 season. Showing his dominance in the redzone LaPorta works very well in Ben Johnson’s offense and should take another step forward this season.
68. Jordan Love QB Packers
The Packers just always seem to have a super talented quarterback waiting behind their other super talented quarterback. Love broke out last season and earned himself a monster extension. We saw flashes of greatness from Love last season with his improvisation ability and his smart decision making. If Love builds on last season expect to find him in the top 30 players in the league.
67. Puka Nacua WR Rams

Puka Nacua did the unexpected last season after having 105 catches, 1486 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns in his rookie season. No one expected Puka to do that well in his rookie season last year after being a mid-round draft pick. The guy that did, Sean McVay, hopes the tandem of him and Cooper Kupp can lead the Rams to their 2nd super bowl in his tenure.
66. D.J. Moore WR Bears
A guy that somehow missed the NFL’s top 100 rankings voted on by his peers, Moore is matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. In his first season in Chicago, Moore posted 1364 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns which earned him a big pay day recently. Moore unfortunately has had really bad quarterback play in his career. With generational prospect Caleb Williams, he can take his game to new heights this year.
65. Charvarius Ward CB 49ers
Since signing with the 49ers in free agency, Charvarius Ward has taken his game to another level. The last two seasons Ward has ranked as the 5th and 6th best corner back in the league according to PFF. He is known for his sticky man coverage on the outside being a tough matchup for opposing receivers.
64. Matthew Stafford QB Rams
After an injury filled 2022 campaign that saw Stafford struggle, 2023 was a bounce back season for the veteran quarterback. The Rams have a loaded offense with weapons like Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, and Puka Nacua that could lead to Stafford putting up some big numbers this season. We know how talented Stafford is when he is healthy, but with an early hamstring injury things are not looking great to start 2024. A healthy Stafford could win his second super bowl ring this season.
63. Dak Prescott QB Cowboys
One of the most divisive quarterbacks in the game, Prescott put together an MVP campaign in 2023. Prescott posted 4516 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions making the Cowboys offense a deadly one last year. Criticized for his playoff woes, Dak might be on the outs in Dallas. It will be interesting to see what version of Dak we see this year with all of the pressure building.
62. Christian Darrisaw OT Vikings
Darrisaw took a step back last season due to injuries but still was one of the best tackles in the game in 2023. His 2022 season earned him many accolades and graded out as the 2nd best tackle in the NFL with a 90.4 grade according to PFF. If Darrisaw stays healthy this season he will once again anchor the Vikings offensive line and give Sam Darnold as much help as possible.
61. Jalen Hurts QB Eagles
Hurts had a down year in 2023 after an MVP campaign in 2022. The Eagle’s passing game was off last season and some of that can be attributed to Hurts, but he still produced 38 total touchdowns last year. With new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, it could lead to Hurts best passing campaign yet. This is a make-or-break season for where people consider Hurts in a jumbled group a top the NFC quarterbacks.
