1. Fred Warner, SF 32. Daiyan Henley, LAC Ranking the Top 32 LBs in the NFL Ahead of the 2026 Season⬇️ https://t.co/gX Via @PFF on X

What happened: The evaluation Warner is listed with SF, while Henley is listed with LAC.

Why it matters: Warner also enters 2026 at No. 54 in the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026. Henley's placement gives him room to shift perceptions during the coming season.

By the numbers: Warner and Henley bookend the 32-player list, separated by 31 places.

What to watch: Preseason work and early regular-season performance will provide the first test of both evaluations.
