The National Football League released the latest instalment of its annual Top 100 Players of 2025 countdown, naming San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey at No. 73 and Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner at No. 74. McCaffrey, limited to just four games last season because of injuries, slid 70 spots from his 2024 ranking, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding his form ahead of training camp. Wagner, by contrast, secured his 10th appearance on the list, underscoring the 34-year-old veteran’s consistency as he prepares for his first full season in Washington after signing in free agency. The league is unveiling the rankings in daily segments on NFL Network and digital platforms, counting down to the top-ranked player later this summer.
