This week, Pete Prisco of CBS Sports put together his list of the Top-100 players of 2023.

He apparently isn’t very impressed with the roster that Ron Rivera has put together for the Commanders, as he included only two players, with both of them well down the list. Star wide receiver Terry McLaurin is the first Commander to make an appearance at #68, while Kamren Curl makes the list at #85.

The “Honorable Mentions” list includes both of Washington’s starting defensive tackles, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

The rest of the NFC East got more respect from Mr. Prisco, with 9 Eagles on the list along with 4 players from the Cowboys roster and 3 from the Giants.
