Former Alabama prep standout earns place in 2025 ‘NFL Top 100’
For the second straight year, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen is a member of the “NFL Top 100.”
In its 15th year, “NFL Top 100” features a ranking for the league’s best 100 players as selected by the players for NFL Films.
On the 2025 list, Hines-Allen placed 63rd in the voting, the NFL revealed on Thursday. Last season, Hines-Allen held the 35th spot on the top-100 list.
An All-State wide receiver at Abbeville High School, Hines-Allen has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice in his six NFL seasons since joining the Jaguars from Kentucky as the seventh selection in the 2019 draft. A year after recording 17.5 sacks, Hines-Allen had eight sacks in 2024 to lift his career total to 53.
Using a new digital-first format this year, “NFL Top 100” is being revealed two players at a time every weekday on the social-media platform X until Sept. 1, when the top 10 players for 2025, as selected by their peers, will be announced on NFL Network at 7 p.m. CDT.
Hines-Allen is the fifth player from an Alabama high school or college to appear in this year’s rankings, with Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (Pinson Valley, Auburn) at No. 64, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (Alabama) at No. 82, New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (Wenonah, Alabama) at No. 87, and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) at No. 91.
