We had just three this year:

96. CB D.J. REED JR., SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
2021 Snaps: 1,002 | 2021 PFF Grade: 78.6
Cornerbacks who are 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds are not supposed to be able to hold up on the outside against some of the physical freaks who play wide receiver in the NFL, but Reed did just that for Seattle this season. He allowed only a 66.0 passer rating when targeted, with just 51.5% of those targets being caught by the intended receiver.

PFF 101 Rank, 2020: unranked

91. WR D.K. METCALF, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
2021 Snaps: 785 | 2021 PFF Grade: 81.5
While Tyler Lockett proved to be quarterback-proof this season, Metcalf was the player who suffered when quarterback Russell Wilson missed time and then played poorly after rushing back into the lineup. Metcalf averaged three yards per reception less than a year ago and didn’t average more than 3.0 yards per route run in a game after Week 7.

PFF 101 Rank, 2020: 68

78. WR TYLER LOCKETT, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
2021 Snaps: 782 | 2021 PFF Grade: 81.9
Somehow Lockett remained extremely productive despite Russell Wilson getting hurt for the first time in his NFL career and missing time. Lockett averaged 2.35 yards per route run and caught 70.9% of the passes thrown his way over the season. Passes sent his way generated a passer rating of 122.4, and he dropped just one of his 103 targets.

PFF 101 Rank, 2020: unranked

27. C CREED HUMPHREY, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
2021 Snaps: 1,328 | 2021 PFF Grade: 92.5
The Chiefs overhauled their entire offensive line after last season’s Super Bowl defeat, and drafting Humphrey was a major part of the success of that endeavor. The second-round center played like the best in the game from Day 1, allowing 12 pressures in 20 games across almost 1,400 snaps of action, including the playoffs. Humphrey’s run blocking was elite and looked like something we would hope to see from an established veteran.

PFF 101 Rank, 2020: unranked

Oh shoot, how did that last one get in there?

The article stated it was single-game performances and using that qualifier Penny should have made the list.

If you need to know how silly their grades can get. Penny only got a 76 in his 16 carry 137 yard 2 TD game against Houston and a 74 with his 25 carry 170 yard 2 TD game against the Lions.

So according to PFF he should have rushed for over 40 more yards and scored 3 to 4 TDs per game?
