For the sixth year in a row, former Alabama All-American Derrick Henry has made the “The Top 100 NFL Players” list, coming at No. 49 in the 2024 rankings.
NFL Network continued to unveil its 14th annual poll of NFL players by releasing on Friday the No. 41 through No. 50 finishers in the voting for this season’s list of the best players in the league.
