12. Houston Texans EDGE Will Anderson Jr.

11. New England Patriots QB Drake Maye

Anderson jumped up 34 spots from last year's top 100 when he came in at No. 46.

The ascent for Anderson comes after he was named to the All-Pro first team and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting during the 2025 campaign. He set career-highs with 23 quarterback hits, 20 tackles for loss and 12 sacks.

Anderson was tied for fourth in tackles for loss and tied for eighth in sacks.

On a per-play basis, Anderson was one of the most dominant EDGE rushers in the NFL last year. He ranked fourth in ESPN's pass-rush win rate (23 percent) on 270 pass-rush snaps.

In addition to being able to get after the quarterback, Anderson is an excellent run defender. He finished seventh among all EDGE players with a 28 percent run-stop win rate.

Anderson was the only EDGE to rank in the top 10 in both categories.

The Texans had arguably the best defense in the NFL in 2025 and figure to be right up there again in 2026. Anderson is one of the primary driving forces behind that success, making him more than deserving of his high ranking on the top 100 list.
