The 50 best players in the NFL right now

…
2. T TRENT WILLIAMS, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Williams had a season for the ages in 2021, finishing with a 97.8 overall PFF grade on a scale that only goes up to 100. His run-blocking tape was an endless clinic of dominance, showcasing a peerless combination of technique, speed, agility, pure strength and power. We may never see that level of run-blocking dominance over a single season again. As a pass blocker, he allowed 16 pressures in 15 games.
20. TE George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers
Deebo Samuel stole the show for the 49ers’ offense last season, but when he was out of the lineup, Kittle continued to dominate like few tight ends the game has ever seen. He led the position in yards per route run (2.35), and the three games in which he saw double-digit targets netted 372 yards and three touchdowns.
26. EDGE NICK BOSA, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Bosa bounced back from a knee injury in 2020 to resume his career as a game-changing edge rusher. He posted 75 total pressures, 39 defensive stops and a career-best 89.8 PFF pass-rushing grade in 2021. Bosa has elite speed around the edge and the power to cause frequent problems for opposing tackles.
28. WR DEEBO SAMUEL, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Samuel is a unique weapon in today’s NFL — a hybrid player who is capable of excelling as a wideout but then moving into the backfield and taking handoffs as a running back. Only Kupp gained more yards per route run than Samuel’s 2.93, and Deebo added another 500 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground (including the playoffs).
30. LB FRED WARNER, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Warner wasn’t as dominant in 2021 as in the year before, but he still remains an elite player at the position and one of the best coverage linebackers in the game. Warner recorded 77.0-plus PFF grades in every facet of play except as a pass rusher, where he notched eight pressures across 48 blitzes. This season will be important for him to see where his baseline of play truly lies.
31. WR DEANDRE HOPKINS, ARIZONA CARDINALS
An injury cost Hopkins much of the 2021 season, and a suspension will cost him the beginning of the upcoming one. Before that, we saw a four-year stretch where he was as good as any receiver in the game. Hopkins dropped just nine passes over the past four seasons and caught at least 45% of contested targets in each of those years, and he continues to dominate despite the Cardinals’ offense doing little to scheme him favorable matchups.

1. DI AARON DONALD, LOS ANGELES RAMS
Donald is the best player in football and is increasing his all-time legacy with each passing season. It’s difficult to quantify his standing alongside such greats as “Mean” Joe Greene, Alan Page, Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor without PFF data and grading for those legends of the game. Nonetheless, at the very least, the gap between the best to ever do it and Donald is negligible at this point. Donald once again led all defenders in PFF grade last season (93.5) and took over the Super Bowl on the final drive to secure a championship for the Rams.
13. WR COOPER KUPP, LOS ANGELES RAMS
Kupp stepped up last season as a truly dominant force across the board for the Rams. Once seen as a slot receiver only, Kupp dominated in all areas, including on the outside against press coverage. He was the only receiver in the league who gained more than 3.0 yards per route run (3.12) and caught over 50% of his contested targets.

14. CB JALEN RAMSEY, LOS ANGELES RAMS
Ramsey continued to excel in 2021 despite playing in a new role, producing his best overall PFF grade since his career year in 2017 for Jacksonville. Ramsey lined up in the slot or in the box on more than double the snaps he did a year ago, and it meant he racked up 25 defensive stops, 12 pass breakups and four interceptions in the regular season.

znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsA’Shawn Robinson said last season was his best he’s played as a pro, a big credit to Rams DL coach Eric Henderson. “He’s one of the big reasons why I was able to lock in and have that consistency throughout, because he stayed on top of me and made sure I did the extra things.”.Robinson added that even when he and Henderson weren’t doing those extra things together, he made sure he was doing things on his own to maintain that level of consistency..Robinson, as you likely remember, emerged as a key piece to the defense late last season, and was especially critical to the stout performances by L.A.’s run defense in the playoffs.znModeratorGaetz: "Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions?

</section>
A Pennsylvania man who last year pleaded guilty to multiple charges in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack killed himself last week while awaiting trial.
As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported, the Mercer County Coroner’s office confirmed on Tuesday that Matt Perna had died by suicide. He was 37 years old.
Perna’s family said he died of a “broken heart,” and partly blamed the government and the prosecution for his death, per the Post-Gazette.
“His community, which he loved, his country and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life,” Perna’s obituary read, according to the outlet. “The constant delays in hearings and postponements dragged out for over a year. Because of this, Matt’s heart broke and his spirit died and many people are responsible for the pain he endured.”
According to court documents, Perna travelled to Washington, D.C., from Pennsylvania on Jan. 6 to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.
At around 2:47 p.m., Perna, who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” sweatshirt, entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing door and stayed inside the building for about 20 minutes, taking video of the crowd while inside, per court documents. Following the Capitol breach, Perna uploaded a video on social media saying, “The purpose of today was to expose Pence as a traitor.”
Perna’s family said he went to the rally on Jan. 6 to “peacefully stand up for his beliefs” and claimed that he was “ushered in” by police officers, according to the Post-Gazette, though prosecutors accused him of entering a building he knew he did not have permission to enter.
“For this act he has been persecuted by many members of his community, friends, relatives and people who had never met him,” Perna’s obituary read, according to the outlet.
Perna pleaded guilty to all four charges he faced, including obstruction of an official proceeding, in December. His sentencing had been set for April 1.
