Next, on my NFL's Top 100 Players list is numbers 50-41, beginning with an All-Pro left tackle. If you're interested in seeing the players that made the list before these guys they are here:
50. Trent Williams
Trent Williams has been a cornerstone of the Washington Redskins offense for years now. Even at 30-years old in 2018, Williams was still one of the most productive left tackles in the NFL.
Last season, Williams allowed just one sack in 792 offensive snaps. Now, at 31-years old, Williams will still be dominating for the Redskins—or someone else.
49. Jason Kelce
The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and that wouldn't be possible without Jason Kelce. Kelce is the quarterback of the offensive line and is well-balanced.
According to PFF, Kelce received an 82.9 grade for run-blocking while receiving a grade of 87.7 in pass-protection in 2018.
48. Travis Kelce
The elite tight ends are a dime a dozen in the NFL right now. As for who the best tight end is, it very well may be Travis Kelce.
Travis comes right after his brother on this list after catching 103 passes for 1,336 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2018. Over the past three seasons, Kelce has caught over 80 receptions and 1,000 yards in each year.
47. Ryan Kelly
The Indianapolis Colts had a resurgence along their offensive line in 2018—allowing just 18 sacks. Most people point to the rookie Nelson being the key player but as good as he was, Ryan Kelly was just as good.
Last season, Kelly allowed just one sack in 777 offensive snaps. He also received a 10.1 boost in his grade on PFF—largest among centers in the NFL.
46. Stefon Diggs
The Minnesota Vikings may have missed the playoffs in 2018 but Stefon Diggs still had a productive season. When it comes to complete receivers in the NFL, Diggs is near the top of that list.
With Kirk Cousins as his quarterback, Diggs had 102 receptions for 1,021 yards and nine touchdowns. Diggs will continue to rise up people's lists of best receivers in 2019.
45. Grady Jarrett
When talking about the league's best run defenders, Grady Jarrett's name should be mentioned. Although, Jarrett is also starting to come around as a pass rusher as well.
Last season, Jarrett had six sacks, eight tackles for loss, and 16 hits on the quarterback. There's a reason why the Atlanta Falcons just paid Jarrett $68 million over four years.
44. Shaq Mason
Despite being smaller than typical guards in the NFL, Shaq Mason is still able to dominate in the trenches. Mason has strung together three-straight seasons where he has been arguably the best guard in the NFL.
According to PFF, Mason received a grade of an 82.7 which was best among all guards in the NFL. The New England Patriots love to run the ball and Mason is key to their rushing attack.
43. Tyreek Hill
The Kansas City Chiefs offense took the NFL by storm in 2018 with their ability to score—and fast. Tyreek Hill became one of the best weapons in the NFL for Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs have been trying to figure out how to use Hill in their offense and they found his role in 2018. In his third season in the NFL, Hill had 87 receptions, 1,479 yards, and 12 touchdowns last year.
42. Melvin Ingram
On the opposite side of Joey Bosa, the Los Angeles Chargers have Melvin Ingram to rush the passer. The Chargers have one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL.
In 2018, Ingram only had seven sacks and eight tackles for loss but the veteran edge-rusher is ready to have the best season of his career in 2019.
41. Quenton Nelson
The Indianapolis Colts made it a goal of theirs to protect Andrew Luck at all costs. As a result, they drafted Quenton Nelson to help bulk up their offensive line in 2018.
As mentioned before, the Colts allowed just 18 sacks in 2018 to lead the NFL. Nelson has quickly become one of the best guards in the NFL in his rookie season and will get even better in year two.
