The NFL is chock-full of elite players at every position.
Every year, it seems that at least one new dominant player comes out of the woodwork to make a name for themselves in the league.
Whether it’s increased competition at the collegiate level, better training as players are growing up, or any number of explanations, the league continues to evolve and get better.
Quarterback continues to be the most valuable position on a team, as it is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to get to the Super Bowl without an above-average QB.
There has been some debate about the most important position after QB, but recently, it seems like wide receiver is the next most important.
Teams around the league have started to pay receivers north of $25, $30 million per year, an indication of how much they mean to their teams.
Nick Wright was recently asked who the best non-QB in the league was, and Tyreek Hill’s name was brought up in the question.
As he said on ‘First Things First,’ “It depends on your goal. There is no player, non-QB, that I’d rather have than Travis Kelce… The scariest WR in the league is Justin Jefferson.”

Wright believes that it is Jefferson, not Hill, who is the most dangerous non-QB in the league.
Jefferson just signed a massive contract with the Minnesota Vikings, and some believe him to be the best receiver in the league, even better than Hill, who was just named the No. 1 player in the NFL’s top 100.
Wright believes that Jefferson is a scarier player, and it will be interesting to see how he performs without Kirk Cousins for the first time in his career.
