Matthew Stafford has earned his spot near the top quarter of the NFL's top 100 players
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off of arguably the most impressive year of his career statistically, and certainly the most accomplished season to date.
With a Super Bowl ring now in his pocket, Stafford's arrival in Canton for the Hall of Fame is now likely a matter of if, rather than when.
And now, the rest of the NFL is beginning to take notice, with Stafford being voted as the No. 27 overall player in the NFL's top 100, ahead of other quarterbacks such as Kirk Cousins (99), Mac Jones (85), Derek Carr (65), Kyler Murray (57), Dak Prescott (44), Justin Herbert (40) and Lamar Jackson (36).
Stafford was listed six spots behind the quarterback that he beat head to head in last year's Super Bowl, Joe Burrow, who came in at No. 21.
Here is what NFL.com had to say about his selection:
Last season, Stafford finished with some of the best numbers of his career, throwing for 4,886 yards and 41 touchdowns.
And now with Allen Robinson entering the fray alongside an already dynamic receiving corps, and a second year in the system with Sean McVay, those numbers could increase even more.
