The NFL's All-Time 100 Team

To celebrate its 100th birthday in 2020, the NFL appointed a 26-person "blue ribbon" panel to select a 100 member All-Time Team. The panel also selected 10 coaches. As you can see below, nearly everyone selected has already been enshrined in Canton, and those that haven't will likely be First Ballot Hall of Famers when they become eligible (special teamers excepted).

For anyone looking for a "best of the best" list of players, this is a great place to start. Each person on this list should be considered in the highest tier to ever play the game at their respective positions.

To make finer grained comaprisons, our Top 100 Legends list ranks players across all positions and eras.
