Now that the 2023 NFL Draft is over, the TGH staff have ranked their top 100 players ahead of the 2023 NFL season. 

Multiple TGH staff members voted on their top 100 players, who were given scores based on their ranks, then sorted by their final score. The players were ranked regardless of position, and the editors broke any ties at their discretion.

Each article in this series will list 10 players at a time, with brief comments on their 2021 performances and what is expected of them in 2023. Make sure to check back every Friday for the next 10 players in our list!

Today, we list and evaluate players 40-31 in our list of the 2023 NFL Top 100.

[Check out Nos. 30-21 here]

40. CeeDee Lamb

Lamb was the undisputed number one receiver on the Cowboys’ offense for the first time in 2022. He responded to that extra pressure by racking up 107 catches, 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns. All of those stats are career highs, so it seems as if he’s up to the challenge. All signs point to him continuing to impress in 2023. -Ben Hendricks

39. Justin Herbert

Despite the Chargers’ top receivers missing a large chunk of the season, Herbert showed why
he should be the face of the Chargers for the next decade or more. Although it was Herbert’s
lowest passing touchdown season (25), he still ranked second in passing yards with 4,379. There was a lot of adversity for the Chargers last season and in Herbert’s first playoff game. Now with new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore, Hebert should continue to show the league why he is a top quarterback in the game today. -Ian Rady

38. Andrew Thomas

Tackles are some of the most important, yet unsung players in the NFL. Given that most quarterbacks are right-handed, left tackles are at even more of a premium. Thomas is among the best-of-the-best in this category. He played 98 percent of offensive snaps last year, garnering only one penalty. Adding to the impressive nature of that stat is the fact that it wasn’t even a holding or false start flag. -Ben Hendricks

37. Darius Slay

“Big Play Slay” was the premier corner on the NFC Champion Eagles with his ball hawking skills. Slay totaled three interceptions and 14 passes deflected in his 10th NFL season. Slay provided the Eagles veteran leadership with the ability to guard anyone, which is why the Eagles could not let him leave, re-signing him this offseason. -Ian Rady

36. Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson has had some health issues that really came to roost last season. Regardless of that, he is a prolific rushing quarterback whose “struggles” throwing the ball have been greatly exaggerated. Now that he has a legitimate receiving core, Jackson seems poised to prove pundits wrong in 2023. -Ben Hendricks

35. Saquon Barkley

Saquon finds himself in the middle of a contract dispute with the Giants. His play has deemed him very valuable, but the running back market can be unfriendly. Either way, Barkley was the focal point of the Giants’ offense in 2022 and stayed healthy. He rushed for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns. Barkley added 338 receiving yards as well. If he is on the field for the Giants they can match up with most teams in the NFL. -Joe DiTullio

34. Maxx Crosby

Crosby has impressed since his rookie season, but had his best year yet in 2022. He had 12.5 sacks and a league-leading 22 tackles for loss. The Raiders’ defense has been bad, but Crosby is a bright spot. With more improvement, he can continue to rise these lists of the league’s best players in the years to come. -Joe DiTullio

33. Chris Lindstrom

Lindstrom sits high on TGH’s top 100 despite being a right guard, which is an underappreciated position. He made the Second Team All-Pro last year, and earned a Pro Bowl nod, playing in every single game of the 2022 season. His run-blocking will be tested next year as he clears paths for Bijan Robinson, one of the most highly-touted running back prospects since Saquon Barkley. -Ben Hendricks

32. Jaire Alexander

Alexander was said to have had a “bad” season last year, but his raw stats belie that. He had five interceptions in 16 games, which was by far a career high. He also had 53 tackles, which was the third-most of his career. Most of the plays that resulted in Alexander getting burned was due to bad defensive scheming by the coaching staff. Hopefully that will be tuned up next season, resulting in him rising up these kinds of lists. -Ben Hendricks

31. Laremy Tunsil

Tunsil has played well in his career for both Miami and Houston. He was just rewarded with a big payday. The seven-year veteran has made three of the last four Pro Bowls and will look to keep that level of play up to help protect new franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud. -Joe DiTullio
