Biggest risers, fallers in Prisco’s Top 100 list for 2024: Lions stars move up most; Derrick Henry plunges

As he always does around this time of year, CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco released his list of the Top 100 players in the NFL. Once again, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes checks in at the very top of said list. That is wholly unsurprising. 

There are some surprises on there, though, even if they don’t come inside the top 10.

Lindstrom is heading into the prime of his career and is universally considered one of the top few guards in the game. He’s made back-to-back Pro Bowls and All-Pro Second Teams. Mailata is one of the most surprising elite tackles in the NFL, but that’s exactly what he’s grown into. He and Lane Johnson will now be counted on to hold down the line without Jason Kelce.
