What happened: Jordyn Brooks earned the No. 67 ranking on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 list. The Miami Dolphins highlighted the linebacker following the announcement, emphasizing his production as the league leader in tackles during the 2025 season. The annual player-voted countdown placed him two spots ahead of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who landed at No. 69.

Why it matters: High-volume tackling reliability at linebacker remains foundational for Miami entering the 2026 offseason and upcoming training camp. Earning a spot among the top 70 players across the league cements his standing as one of the premier defensive playmakers in the AFC.

What to watch: Training camps open across the league in late July as teams begin on-field preparations for the 2026 regular season. Further reveals of the Top 100 countdown will continue leading up to preseason kickoff.
