#First-time entrants
Young (No. 98), Jones (No. 97), Etienne (No. 96) and Al-Shaair (No. 92) make their Top 100 debuts, per NFL.com. Jones is the first member of the reigning Super Bowl champions on the 2026 list. Etienne’s debut recognizes his final season in Jacksonville before he signed with the Saints. Schwesinger (No. 93), the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, has no debut label in his entry, so he is not counted here.
#Returners and repeat selections
Jordan makes his ninth appearance at No. 100. Nelson returns for the first time since 2022, when he ranked No. 28. Davis returns after five straight years on the list and an absence in 2025. Humphrey is down one spot from last year, and Sweat ranked No. 82 in his 2024 debut.
#What the group shows
By the table’s positions, the group has three linebackers (Jones, Schwesinger, Al-Shaair), two defensive ends (Jordan, Sweat), one outside linebacker (Davis), one guard, one center, one running back and one quarterback. That is six defenders and four offensive players. Two Saints (Jordan, Etienne) appear. This is The Snap’s own tally from the table above.
