No. 27 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026… @Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd! @NFLFilms https://t.co/09Bw6IpZZX

What happened: Lloyd earned his first Pro Bowl selection after recording 74 tackles and seven passes defensed in 15 starts during his final season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The player-voted NFL Top 100 placed him 27th for 2026.

Why it matters: Turnover production at linebacker is valuable, but interceptions can be influenced by scheme, deflections and errant throws. A top-30 overall ranking should require more consistency in coverage, not merely spectacular takeaway numbers.
