Not exactly. I used to watch the shows revealing the list on NFL network back when they started doing this, and they leave it ambiguous on purpose.Isn’t the ranking just for 2021? Sounds about right
Back then they used over explain that throughout the shows...Is this a ranking based on last season? Is it a projection for next season? Do you account for career performance? It's completely up to the players voting to decide how they want to vote. So there's a little of everything in the rankings.
