The 1,000 best players in the league today, ranked by our NFL Scouting Department based on their on-field play and positional value. Edge-rushers are graded on five categories: pass rush (30 points), run defense (25), disruptiveness (20), tackling (15) and versatility (10). Trait scores add up to the grade, and when multiple players received the same score, their ranking was determined by a majority vote among the group.
