CBS Sports' Top 100 NFL Players for 2024: Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce Lead Chiefs' Seven Representatives; Jaguars' Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence Rank

CBS Sports writer Pete Prisco has released his annual list of the NFL's top 100 players for the 2024 season. The list includes a total of seventeen players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars. Among them are Patrick Mahomes, who is ranked as the best player in the league, and Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, Trent McDuffie, Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney, and Trey Smith from the Chiefs. From the Jaguars are Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence. Allen had a breakout season with 17.5 sacks and signed a contract extension worth $141.25 million with $76.5 million in guarantees.

Lawrence, despite an injury-plagued season, ranked as the No. 10 quarterback on Prisco's list at No. 62 overall, with an average salary of $55 million per year under his new five-year deal worth $275 million.

Allen and Lawrence are not the only Jaguars to make the list, as Josh Allen is also included at No. 23 overall and sixth-best at his position as an edge rusher. The Chiefs have a total of seven players on Prisco's top 100 for 2024.

The Chiefs are known for their strong interior line, with Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney, and Trey Smith forming one of the best inside trios in the league. Humphrey excels in both run game and pass protection, while Thuney is part of the best interior-line group in the league.

Trent McDuffie had his best season helping the Chiefs defense lead them to a Super Bowl victory, with 45 sacks, 53 tackles for loss, nine forced fumbles, and two interceptions in five years with the team. Chris Jones is a catalyst for the Chiefs defense and can win from anywhere on the line.

Travis Kelce had an impressive season with 93 catches in a 'down' year, adding 32 catches in four postseason games. Patrick Mahomes continues to be considered one of the best players in the league and is on his way to being considered the best ever.

The Jaguars have two stars on Prisco's list, with Josh Allen earning a spot at No. 23 overall and Trevor Lawrence ranking as the tenth-best quarterback in the league at No. 62 overall.

Jacksonville Jaguars' Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence Named to Top-100 List

Sports Illustrated John Shipley Wednesday, 19 June 2024 15:24

    • Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and teammate linebacker Josh Allen were named to CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco’s Top-100 player list.
    • Josh Allen signed the biggest contract in franchise history with $141.25 million and $76.5 million in guarantees after having a breakout season with 17.5 sacks.
    • Trevor Lawrence ranked as the No. 10 quarterback at No, 62 on Prisco’s list despite a disappointing season with injury and pressure.
    • Lawrence signed a five-year deal worth $275 million with $200 million in guarantees and an average salary of $55 million per year.
    • Allen is the first Jaguars first-round pick to sign an extension since Blake Bortles. He has recorded 45 sacks, 53 tackles for loss, nine forced fumbles, and two interceptions in five years with the team.

  • Accuracy
    • Josh Allen signed a contract worth $141.25 million with $76.5 million in guarantees after having a breakout season with 17.5 sacks.
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to authority fallacy. The author uses the phrase 'disappointment' multiple times when describing Trevor Lawrence's 2023 season, which is an emotional term that can be subjective and does not provide any objective evidence. Additionally, the author quotes Pete Prisco stating his opinions about Allen and Lawrence being 'game-wreckers' and Lawrence having an 'MVP-type of season.' These are opinions and do not provide any logical reasoning or evidence.
    • ][author] The Jaguars agreed to terms with the quarterback and former No. 1 pick last week, agreeing to a five-year deal worth $275 million with $200 million in guarantees and $142 million fully guaranteed. Lawrence’s deal will pay him an average of $55 million a season, which ties him with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as the highest-paid player on an annual basis in the NFL. [/]

3 Chargers make CBS Sports’ Top 100 players of 2024

Bolts from the Blue Michael Peterson Wednesday, 19 June 2024 17:14
  • Unique Points
    • Rashawn Slater is outstanding in pass protection and needs improvement in run game according to Pete Prisco, but his run block grades from Pro Football Focus were much higher in his first two seasons (88.0 and 80.2)
    • Khalil Mack had a career-best of 17 sacks at the age of 33
  • Accuracy
    • Justin Herbert ranked differently in different articles (41st vs. not mentioned)
    • Rashawn Slater's run game improvement assessed differently (needs improvement vs. higher grades)
    • Khalil Mack's sack count differed between articles (17 sacks vs. career-best)
  • Deception (80%)
    The author expresses his personal opinions and biases towards the Chargers players and their performance. He editorializes by sharing his thoughts on the players' performances, their potential, and the impact of injuries on them. However, he does provide some factual information about the players' rankings in CBS Sports' top 100 list.
    • I did not expect Herbert to be this high after the year he had.
    • I’m really, really hoping to see Slater return to his All-Pro form under Jim Harbaugh.
    • Aside from Herbert, Rashawn Slater was the other Chargers I expected to be on this list.
  • Fallacies (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses a clear bias against CBS Sports' Pete Prisco by questioning his motivations and past biases towards the Chargers. The author also challenges some of Prisco's assessments of specific players, such as Rashawn Slater and Justin Herbert.
    • > I didn’t expect Herbert to be this high after the year he had. Not because I believe he truly regressed that far, but Prisco has always seemed like he had a bit of a bias against the Chargers and their guys.<br>To be honest, I did not expect Herbert to be this high after the year he had.

      • I’m a bit peeved to read that Prisco believes Slater needs to improve in the run game, especially when the 2023 season was much more fluky due to playing alongside Zion Johnson who also happened to regress in his second year. In Slater’s first two seasons, his run block grades from Pro Football Focus were 88.0 in 2022 and 80.2 in 2021.<br>Aside from Herbert, Rashawn Slater was the other Chargers I expected to be on this list.
