What happened: The NFL unveiled more of its Top 100 Players of 2026 rankings, placing Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson down at No. 69. That placement marks a massive drop of 67 spots from his position on the list the previous year. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III blasted the reveal on social media, declaring that Jackson is not the 69th best player in the league and calling for the list to be burned to the ground.

Why it matters: Advanced analytics heavily contradict this voting drop, as PFF recently slotted Jackson at No. 3 overall in their 2026 starting quarterback rankings. Furthermore, he has already surfaced prominently in early 2026 NFL MVP conversations heading into training camp. With the Baltimore organization preparing for his looming 2027 contract payday, Jackson remains an elite focal point who should be ranked among the top five players overall.
