Jalen Hurts is No. 19 in NFL’s top 100 player rankings. Here are the other Eagles on the list so far.

The Birds already have eight players ranked in the top 100 according to their peers, including Hurts. With fewer than 20 spots left, how high will Saquon Barkley finish?

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was selected by his NFL peers as the 19th best player in the league, which was down from the last two years, when he was picked third and 15th, respectively.

Throughout the offseason, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, specifically regarding where he ranks among his peers.

When measuring the quarterback’s success, analysts, NFL insiders and executives have argued that he’s simply a product of a talented offense — from falling to No. 9 in ESPN’s quarterback rankings to not even being mentioned in SB Nation’s top-10 list.

But now, it’s time for the experts to take a rest and hand the pen over to the players for the NFL’s top 100 player rankings, voted on by the players themselves. Although the list isn’t complete yet, the Eagles already have eight players featured, including their starting quarterback.

Hurts’ ranking was released on Monday morning, coming in at the No. 19 spot — making this his third straight season finishing among the league’s top 20 players. However, Hurts did fall slightly from last year, when he was ranked No. 15. The year before that he was ranked No. 3.

After a season that saw the quarterback finish with 2,903 passing yards, 630 rushing yards, and 32 total touchdowns, Hurts is directly above No. 21 Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) and No. 20 Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions).

Hurts is also above several of his teammates — including Jordan Mailata (No. 69), Cooper DeJean (No. 60), Quinyon Mitchell (No. 49), Jalen Carter (No. 43), A.J. Brown (No. 29), Zack Baun (No. 26), and Lane Johnson (No. 23).

Here’s a look what their peers had to say about them …

69. Jordan Mailata

60. Cooper DeJean

49. Quinyon Mitchell

43. Jalen Carter

29. A.J. Brown

26. Zack Baun

23. Lane Johnson

But the list still isn’t complete. The rest of the top 20 will be unveiled throughout this week, with the top 10 players announced on Sept. 1 at 8 p.m. on NFL Network. And there’s still one big name from Philly that hasn’t been mentioned: Saquon Barkley.

The three-time Pro Bowler, offensive player of the year, and Super Bowl champion has yet to be named on the NFL’s Top 100 list. Following a season that saw the running back rush for over 2,000 yards in his first year with the Eagles, fans can expect Barkley to be high on the list.
