What happened: NFL Films released the placement on Wednesday as part of the league's annual offseason countdown. The list is compiled directly from player votes across the league heading into the 2026 campaign.

Why it matters: Baltimore has seen multiple key starters recognized by players around the league during the rollout, including Zay Flowers at No. 71. Smith remains the centerpiece of the defensive unit as the organization seeks to build on its recent postseason runs. Maintaining elite production at the second level will be vital for the defense to contend in a crowded AFC landscape.

What to watch: The NFL Top 100 countdown will continue unveiling players throughout July ahead of training camp arrivals. Baltimore rookies and veterans are scheduled to report to camp later this month to begin full preparations for the preseason.
