LA Rams: 5 players who could crack next year’s CBS Top 100

CBS has released its annual Pete Prisco’s Top 100 NFL Players of the Year, and the LA Rams only managed to crack the CBS Top 100 list with a handful of players. While there is certainly an element of pomp and ceremony involved with any ranking or list involving NFL teams or players, there was a bit of undervaluing some of the LA Rams players.

While that occurs in each list or ranking conceived, the fact is that several players were completely omitted from the ranking, even though they either had a tremendous 2020 season or had been so proficient throughout their time with the LA Rams that they would have easily made list if they played for another team.

Of course, part of the criteria for breaking into the Top 100 for next year is remaining healthy and will be added to the to-do lists for three of the five players named here. As far as the other two? Simply sustaining the tremendous positive momentum achieved in the latter part of the 2020 NFL season will be a huge step in the right direction.

Of course, we cannot overlook that pageantry and popularity component that is embedded in any NFL ranking. So, the first step to recognizing these five players on the LA Rams roster as potential Top-100 players is to succeed as a team. Optimally, that means winning Super Bowl LVI in SoFi Stadium, but minimally means representing the NFC in the NFL Championship Game this year
