Top 100 NFL players entering the 2020 season: Nos. 60-51

56. Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers

Despite constantly battling injuries, Adams is one of the NFL’s best wide receivers. He’s the seventh-highest ranking receiver on the top 100, outranking five of the other pass-catchers included on the list. Last year wasn’t Adams’ most productive season since he missed four games, but the former second-round pick still made his third consecutive Pro Bowl.

Adams has thrived with Aaron Rodgers in a way that no receiver has since Jordy Nelson. Over the past two seasons, the Fresno State product averaged 7.2 receptions and 88.3 yards per game. He’s a borderline elite player who needs an All-Pro selection before he gets counted among the game’s best receivers.

While Adams didn’t play a significant role in Green Bay’s offense during his first two seasons, the 27-year-old has 343 receptions, 4,265 yards and 40 touchdowns over the past four years. However, his only 1,000-yard season came in 2018.

55. Danielle Hunter, DE, Minnesota Vikings

Hunter is pounding on the doors of the league’s elite pass rushers. In terms of production, he’s one of the best sack artists in the league. Over the past four seasons, he produced 48.5 sacks, with 29 coming in the past two years alone. Hunter also possesses elite speed and versatility, which led to him amassing 142 tackles since the start of 2018.

Hunter made each of the past two Pro Bowls and received a Second-Team All-Pro bid from the AP in 2018. However, the LSU product still lacks advanced hardware to accompany his tremendous skills. According to Pro Football Reference, despite producing 14.5 sacks over each of the past two seasons, Hunter didn’t produce more than 40 pressures in either year. Many of the league’s elite pass rushers cross that threshold.

While he’s easily a top-ten defensive end and a member of the top 100, Hunter could rise into the top 40 if he incorporated a greater diversity of pass rush moves into his game.
