The NFL Network’s annual Top 100 players Countdown began Monday night, revealing players 100-81. So far, the Green Bay Packers have four players on the list.

Since 2011, the NFL Network has annually compiled a list of the NFL’s top 100 players, as voted on by the players. Rankings are based on players’ performances from the previous season. The series typically reveals 10 players per episode on a weekly basis. The list started off with a bang this year, revealing 20 players on the first day. The Green Bay Packers have four players on the list so far.

The show features interviews with current NFL players who express their opinions on the rankings, as well as highlights of the player being discussed. It gives fans a unique perspective on who the players believe to be the best at their craft, as well as the next upcoming stars. After each episode is a ‘reaction show’, where analysts chime in and gather players’ opinions from Twitter and other resources.

Here’s a list of the No. 1 overall players since 2011:

2011: Tom Brady

2012: Aaron Rodgers

2013: Adrian Peterson

2014: Peyton Manning

2015: J.J. Watt

2016: Cam Newton

2017: Tom Brady

2018: TBD

The NFL was kind enough to upload each player’s segment to YouTube, so if you don’t have access to NFL Network, you’ll still be able to watch. With all that out of the way, let’s look at which Packers players were voted in so far.
