2023 Pre-Season Rank #58, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #100. Peak Period 2019-23

Very few players on either side of the ball have made this big of a rank jump as Chris Jones, who might have taken over as the best Defensive Tackle in Football.  Jones is now a three-time Super Bowl winner, the king of the Chiefs defense, and has five All-Pros (one First Team, three Second Teams) on his resume.  Third in DPOY voting last year in 2022, Jones is a threat to win it in 2024. 

Would KC have won their last three Super Bowls without Jones?  Probably not.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #62, 2022 Pre-Season Rank: #67. Peak Period: 2019-23

Somebody would have the highest debut in 2022, pre-season rank, and better than that year’s offensive player of the year and Super Bowl MVP, Cooper Kupp, who shattered all of his personal bests.  Since then, Kupp has missed some games due to injury and is back to his pre-OPOY production.  Concurrently, Puca Nacua has emerged as the Rams WR1, and for Kupp to make a severe Hall run, he will need more than one phenomenal campaign and many good ones.
