Trey McBride will be top TE in 'NFL Top 100'

We know what NFL players think of Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. Over the last several weeks, players have been revealed in the "NFL Top 100 Players" of 2026. Two Arizona Cardinals players have made it — linebacker Josh Sweat at No. 78 and safety Budda Baker at No. 75.

>McBride's ranking has not been revealed from players 100-45, and it appears that he will be the most highly rated tight end.

>How do we know?

>Well, the other guys who might have been named above him have already been revealed:

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce was No. 79. • >Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers was No. 60. • >San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle was No. 45. Kittle ranked ahead of McBride in PFF tight end rankings, and an ESPN survey of coaches, scouts and executives had Bowers ahead of McBride.

>However, the "NFL Top 100" is voted on by players only. McBride is coming off a 126-catch season, a Cardinals single-seasno record, the second-most in the NFL and a single-season record for tight ends in NFL history.

>The question is how high he will be ranked. Can he, a tight end on a bad team, crack the top 20?

>We will see.
