For the second consecutive season, Green Bay Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary has made the “NFL Top 100 Players” list. After ranking No. 50 entering the 2024 season, Gary checked in at No. 80 overall in “NFL Top 100 Players of 2025” list.
The first 20 players on the list have now been revealed, and Gary is the first Packers player to make the list.

A first-time Pro Bowler in 2024, Gary produced 7.5 sacks, 15 quarterback hits, nine tackles for loss, 49 total pressures and a forced fumble across 17 regular season games for the Packers last season.
His overall numbers took a step back — Gary had 9.0 sacks and 22 quarterback hits in 2023 — but a strong overall season, in which he became a top run-defending edge rusher — helped keep Gary in the top 100 list.
Gary moved from standup outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense in 2023 to a true 4-3 defensive end for Jeff Hafley in 2024.
According to ESPN Analytics, Gary ranked first among all edge rushers in “Run Stop Win Rate” after producing 63 wins on only 170 plays in 2024. He also produced a career-high 33 stops, or a tackle creating a failure for the offense, per PFF.

However, Gary had only 47 pressures, down from 60 in 2023, and his pass-rush win rate dropped to 12.7 percent, which ranked 33rd among all edge rushers with at least 280 pass-rushing snaps in 2024.
Despite getting a spot in the top 100 list, Gary did not make ESPN’s list of top 10 edge rushers entering 2025.
