NFL Rank 2022 - Chargers dominate with eight players on top 100 list; zero from Patriots, Jets, Giants, Jaguars, Lions

We released NFL Rank on Monday, our annual prediction of the players we think will play the best this season, ranked from 1 to 100.

There was one team that dominated the list — the Los Angeles Chargers — with eight players. With Justin Herbert, Joey Bosa and J.C. Jackson leading the way, the Chargers have the talent to become a real force in the NFL in 2022.

Five teams, however, did not have a player in the top 100. The Jacksonville Jaguars aren't on the list for the second year in the row, but things could be looking up for them in the future with Trevor Lawrence, Christian Kirk and Travis Etienne Jr. After down seasons in 2021, the New York Jets, New York Giants and Detroit Lions are also absent. Each of them drafted talented rookies in April who could develop into top-100 players in 2023.

The most surprising team absent from the list is the New England Patriots. While it's no secret the Patriots place a different value system on players and focus less on stardom, they don't have a bad team, so why don't they have one player on this list?

How did the Chargers build their loaded roster? Were the other five teams snubbed? Which players from those teams could crack the list next year? We asked our NFL Nation reporters to weigh in:

Lindsey Thiry, Chargers reporter: General managerTom Telesco has hit on several picks as he enters his 10th season as Chargers general manager. Six of the Chargers' eight players on the NFL rank are Telesco's draft selections, with five — edge rusher Joey Bosa, wide receiver Mike Williams, safety Derwin James Jr., quarterback Justin Herbert and offensive tackle Rashawn Slater — being first-round picks and one, receiver Keenan Allen, being a third-round selection.
