Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered another massive drop in NFL Network’s list of the top 100 players in the league entering the 2024 season.
Two years removed from a second consecutive third-place finish, Rodgers fell from No. 51 in 2023 to 92nd this year.
His decline isn’t surprising, considering the 19-year NFL veteran is coming off a torn Achilles in Week 1, which forced him to miss most of his first season in New York.
Rodgers also showed a noticeable decline in his last season with the Packers, resulting in his previous 48-spot drop. Rodgers’ 217.4 yards per game in 2022 was his fewest since becoming Green Bay’s starting quarterback in 2008. He also had his worst passer rating (91.1) and threw his most interceptions (12) since his first year leading the Packers.
NFL Network has unveiled its list of the league’s top 100 players since 2011, and before last season, Rodgers routinely appeared much later.He started ranked No. 11 in 2011 before rising 10 spots to take the top place in 2012. Rodgers has appeared in the top 10 of the rankings eight times, including a runner-up finish in 2015.
While Rodgers’ allure might have worn off among voters for the NFL Network’s list, it hasn’t for bettors.
Per ESPN Bet, the Jets (+2200) are 11th in preseason Super Bowl LIX odds and have their over-under win total set at 9.5 games. Rodgers (+2000) has the ninth-best odds of being named regular season MVP.
NFL Network is unveiling its list over the next two weeks, with the top 10 revealed during a live television special on Friday, Aug. 2.
Rodgers wasn’t the only quarterback to be featured in Monday’s update. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (No. 94) and Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins (No. 81) also appeared.
