Detroit Lions duo revealed next as NFL's 'Top 100' players for 2023 continues to cause debateGetty
Next week we will discover the 'Top 50' players.

The NFL's revealing of their 'Top 100' players for the 2023 season rages on, with those ranked 61-70 announced.

The 'Top 100' has been an annual tradition for the last 12 seasons, with only Tom Brady topping the pile on more than one occasion - which he did four times.

The players are revealed in groups of 10 every weekday, this year the group of players ranked 11-20 will be announced on Thursday, August 3 before the top 10 are revealed the following Monday.

One quarterback in this latest reveal has been causing much debate among NFL fans, with other signal callers such as Lamar Jackson and Trevor Lawrence already announced lower down the list.

The debates will continue, but here are those players ranked between 61-70.

#70 - Joey Bosa

At #70 is Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa, who has bullied offensive lines for years in the NFL.

Unfortunately for Bosa and the Chargers, 2022 was riddled with injuries and 'Big Bear' only managed to play five games in which he registered 2.5 sacks.

If fully fit in 2023, Bosa will once again look to hunt down Patrick Mahomes and co in the AFC West having recorded double digit sacks in four different seasons.

#69 - Matt Milano

Another linebacker comes next, with Buffalo Bills' Matt Milano included after a brilliant 2022 season.

The 2017 fifth round pick made a total of 99 tackles, three interceptions and 1.5 sacks in a campaign full of game-changing moments.

Milano also scored a 43-yard touchdown off a pick six from Ryan Tannehill in week two of last season against the Tennessee Titans.

#68 - Zack Martin

Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin comes in at the exact same rank as he did in last year's 'Top 100' rankings at #68.

Martin, one of five players in the '99 Club' on the upcoming Madden 24 video game, was a first-round draft selection back in 2014 and has been a consistent performer ever since.

The 32-year-old is reportedly having disputes with the Cowboys currently and is threatening to miss training camp, but fans will hope the issues are resolved quickly so Martin can return to the field in 2023.

#67 - Amon-Ra St. Brown

The first of two Detroit Lions in this block of 10 players is wide receiver Amon-Ra St Brown, who has made a big splash since being drafted in the fourth round in 2021.

Across his first two seasons in the NFL, St. Brown has totalled over 196 receptions and over 2,000 yards including 11 receiving touchdowns and no fumbles.

This is St. Brown's first appearance in the 'Top 100' list but should he take his form into 2023 you may well see him ranked higher next year.

#66 - Jared Goff

After losing Super Bowl LIII with the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Jared Goff came under heavy criticism and was traded away to the Detroit Lions.

However at the Lions, Goff has excelled. He has had over 65% completion rate in both campaigns with over 7,500 yards combined.

The 2016 number one overall pick has also thrown 48 touchdowns and just 15 interceptions during his time in Detroit, but the pressure is on in 2023 with the Lions fancied to finally win the NFC North.

#65 - Darius Slay

Moving up 12 places from the 2022 rankings is Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.

Slay and the Eagles defence were a force to be reckoned with last year, and individually Slay made three interceptions while defending another 14 passes.

The 2013 second round pick is now aged 32, but he remains a cornerback that quarterbacks will avoid throwing in the direction of.

#64 - Aaron Jones

There will be a lot of pressure on Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones to perform in 2023 now the team are without Aaron Rodgers.

Jones set a number of personal records in 2022, his 1,121 rushing yards and 59 receptions were both the highest of his career.

His seven total touchdowns in 2022 was a drop off, so Jones will be hoping for more in what will be a new era for the Packers in 2023.

#63 - Grady Jarrett

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Grady Jarrett is next up at #63.

The 30-year-old had a brilliant 2022 season, recording six sacks and 61 tackles on a defense which overall struggled.

The two-time Pro Bowler has been with the Atlanta Falcons since they drafted him in 2015, and with new exciting weapons on offense hopefully the team can find more success in 2023.

#62 - Bobby Wagner

Bobby Wagner is a Seahawk once again having spent the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Rams after 10 seasons in Seattle.

The linebacker was given a great reception by the fans at the Seahawks' training camp and it is no surprise, Wagner has totalled over 130 tackles in each of the last seven seasons.

The 33-year-old also made six sacks in 2022 for the Rams - his career high - and two interceptions, which he has not topped other than during his rookie season way back in 2012.

#61 - Deebo Samuel

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is one of the most exciting players to watch on a football field.

Calling Samuel a wide receiver does not do his versatility justice, and the 49ers take advantage of his unique skillset by utilising him across the offense.

His 632 receiving yards and 232 rushing yards was a significant drop from the 1,750+ combined yards he totalled in 2021, but he remains a threat on each and every snap.
