Josh Allen has had an almost permanent spot towards the top of the 2026 NFL Top 100 list. After being third last year, he climbed one spot to be ranked second this year. NFL’s Brooke Cersosimo wrote the following blurb about the former NFL MVP winner being named as the penultimate player:
“This marks Allen’s seventh year in the Top 100 and his highest ranking after finishing third in the player voting a year ago after his MVP campaign. The dual-threat quarterback followed his MVP season with another stellar performance in 2025, leading Buffalo to the Divisional Round before falling to the Broncos. Allen, who finished third in MVP voting in ’25, totaled 39 touchdowns, including 14 rushing scores, which ranked first among quarterbacks.
“The four-time Pro Bowler has recorded six straight 3,500-plus passing seasons and three consecutive campaigns with at least 500 rushing yards and 10-plus rushing TDs. There isn’t much Allen can’t do, and while the Bills are experiencing plenty of change at the top this offseason, they should be contenders as long as he’s under center.”
Josh Allen made his fourth Pro Bowl appearance and finished in third place in the MVP voting behind Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye. Allen finished the season completing 319 of 460 (69.3%) of his passes for 3,668 yards with 25 passing touchdowns to 10 interceptions. He also ran the football 112 times for 579 yards (5.2 yards per carry) with 14 rushing touchdowns. With the addition of wide receiver DJ Moore, Allen has a legitimate threat out wide to pair with a new coach to make the offense do even better in 2026.
