The NFL Top 100 Players of 2017 was the seventh season in the series. It ended with reigning Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady being ranked #1. [1] This made Brady the first player to be voted #1 more than once. It was also just the second time the #1 ranked player was not the reigning NFL MVP of the league, as Matt Ryan came in at #10. [2]

Of the 32 NFL teams, only 3 did not have players that made the list; The Chicago Bears, New York Jets, and San Francisco 49ers. [3]
