Top 100 Players of 2026, Nos. 90-83: Rams’ Byron Young debuts; Titans’ Jeffery Simmons returns to list

2025 stats: 9 games | 69.4 pct | 2,167 pass yds | 7.6 ypa | 20 pass TDs | 10 INTs | 147 rush yards | 3 rush TDs

Purdy would likely rank far higher had he not missed eight games last season due to a toe injury. There was little opponents could do to stop him once he was healthy again in Week 11, evidenced by San Francisco scoring 37 or more points in four of its seven regular-season games following his return. He has established himself as one of the league’s most entertaining signal-callers, equipped with an uncanny knack for buying time to make big last-second plays. At his best — which he often is — Purdy gives the 49ers a Super Bowl ceiling.

NFL Pro Insight for Purdy: Purdy averaged a league-high 8.5 air yards per completion during first quarters in 2026. Despite appearing in just nine games, he led the NFL with eight first-quarter completions on deep throws, totaling 213 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
