GREEN BAY – Packers safety Xavier McKinney has cracked the NFL "Top 100 Players" list for 2025 at No. 30.
It's the first time in his career McKinney, now in his sixth season, has made the list, which is voted on by the players themselves.
McKinney joined the Packers last year as a free agent after four seasons with the Giants. In 2024, he was named first-team All-Pro and selected to his first Pro Bowl with a career-high eight interceptions, which ranked second in the league.
The eight INTs included one in each of the first five games of the season, which was a franchise first for a player's first five games with the Packers, and a league first since the 1970 merger for a player's first five games with a team. The five-game run tied the longest INT streak in team history (Irv Comp, 1943).
He recorded the most interceptions by a Packers defender since Hall of Famer Charles Woodson had nine in 2009, and he also ranked second in the league in interception return yards with 128, the most by a Packers defender since Charlie Peprah had 147 in 2011.
McKinney is joined on this year's "Top 100" list by teammates Josh Jacobs (No. 33), Jordan Love (No. 68) and Rashan Gary (No. 80).
