NFL top 100 player rankings include 11 NFC West players

This part of the offseason brings lists and rankings of all sorts for the NFL. CBS Sports' Pete Prisco put together his yearly rankings of the 100 best players in the NFL for 2025.

The Cardinals will face 39 of the players on the list in 2025.

In the NFC West, 11 players are in the top 100.

NFL top 100 players in NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

• TE Trey McBride (No. 42)

McBride is the only player for the Cardinals who makes the list. While he is certainly worthy, RB James Conner and S Budda Baker are notable absences.

LA Rams

• LB Jared Verse (No. 54)
• WR Puka Nacua (No. 63)
• WR Davante Adams (No. 91)

It is interesting that QB Matthew Stafford isn't on the list. RB Kyren Williams has also been very good. Likewise, no DT Kobie Tuner, who has 17 sacks in two NFL season, is a notable snub.

San Francisco 49ers

• LB Fred Warner (No. 19)
• TE George Kittle (No. 25)
• OT Trent Williams (No. 34)
• DE Nick Bosa (No. 35)
• RB Christian McCaffrey (No. 41)

Of the Cardinals' opponents in 2025, the 49ers are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the most players on the list.

Seattle Seahawks

• DL Leonard Williams (No. 64)
• CB Devon Witherspoon (No. 84)

The Seahawks have two defensive cornerstones. They deserve to be here.
