Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown may have fallen eight spots on this year's NFL Top 100 Players list, but at least he is still getting some respect from the league and ranks higher than Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb.

Brown lands on the list at No. 29 overall, while Lamb sits at No. 35.

Here's what the NFL.com had to say:

A big contributor to the Eagles’ regular-season success and Super Bowl run, Brown has been a reliable target for Jalen Hurts since he's arrived in Philadelphia. Brown was the engine that kept Philadelphia’s season afloat with his consistency and deep-threat ability. Ever since Brown was traded to Philly, the Eagles wideout has recorded three-straight 1,000-yard seasons, and now he locks in his third consecutive Top 100 appearance.

Brown is set to enter his fourth season as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ go-to guy since he joined the team from the Tennessee Titans trade in 2022.

Brown has accomplished a lot in the last three seasons with Philly. He’s logged 4,031 receiving yards, including back-to-back seasons with over 1,400 yards, making him the only Eagles receiver to achieve that feat. He’s also earned two Pro Bowl invites, one All-Pro nod, and a Super Bowl ring to top off his efforts.

As for Lamb, he's reached 6,339 receiving yards and four Pro Bowls, though he doesn't have the Super Bowl ring to complement the rest of his resume.
