GREEN BAY – Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons made the NFL's "Top 100 Players" for a fifth straight year and earned his highest ranking yet at No. 8.
Previously, Parsons was ranked No. 36 in 2025, No. 17 in 2024, No. 9 in 2023 and No. 16 in 2022.
Parsons is the first Packers player to reach the top 10 since 2022, when QB Aaron Rodgers ranked No. 3 on the list, which is voted on by the players themselves.
Acquired by the Packers via trade with the Cowboys just prior to Week 1 last year, Parsons recorded 12½ sacks in 14 games, becoming the first NFL player since sacks became official in 1982 to post at least a dozen sacks in each of his first five NFL seasons. His 65 career sacks rank fifth by a player over his first five seasons, one shy of Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas (66) in fourth place.
Parsons received his fourth All-Pro and fifth Pro Bowl selection last season, which was cut short in mid-December due to an ACL injury. He's expected to return to action sometime after the start of the 2026 regular season.
Parsons joins S Xavier McKinney (No. 70), QB Jordan Love (No. 72) and RB Josh Jacobs (No. 74) as Packers players to make the "Top 100" list this year.
