The NFL's annual top 100 players countdown began without a single Washington Commanders player breaking spots 91 through 100, but that has changed with the latest round of rankings revealed, and the Commanders landed its first representative on the list for 2025.

Newly acquired offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil comes in at No. 86 on the list. Before being traded to the Commanders, Tunsil spent four seasons anchoring the left side of the Houston Texans' offensive line and was ranked No. 71 on last year's NFL's Top 100.

Though he slipped 15 spots on this year's list, Washington still believes he is one of the league's premier pass protectors, so much so that they traded for Tunsil in exchange for four draft picks. The franchise believes he will make an immediate impact, bolstering their offensive line and providing Jayden Daniels with additional pass protection.

The Washington Commanders are going to have a player unveiled in the NFL Top 100 this week between Nos. 81-90, and will have another unveiled next week between Nos. 71-80, per sources. Any guesses who?

Commanders fans will be pleased to have a player like Tunsil land on the list but will be even more excited to see what other players in burgundy and gold will crack the list in the coming weeks reveals.

Given Jayden Daniels' impressive start to his NFL career, it's only a matter of time before he lands on the list, considering he won Offensive Rookie of the Year. Then you have players like Terry McLaurin and Bobby Wagner, who should also land on the list, given their on-field production last season.

But for now, Tunsil stands as the first Commanders player to earn a spot in the 2025 NFL Top 100; hopefully, he's not the only one representing burgundy and gold.
