2017 NFL Position Ratings


I’ve give ratings for every position in my NFL Season Previews, ranging from one to five stars. I was recently requested to place the positional rankings for each team onto one page, and I thought that might be a good idea, since it would allow everyone to see how these teams compared to one another.

Keep in mind that I put this together in June and July (when I posted the season previews). I have made some changes to account for injuries/retirements/suspensions, so forgive me if I happened to miss anything!
