The "Top 100 Players of 2017" continues. See the mind-blowing stats which prove why these guys are on the list.

In 2016, Mariota set a career-high in passing yards (3,426), passing touchdowns (26) and passer rating (95.6). His 26 passing touchdowns are the fourth-most in a single season in Titans/Oilers team history, and the most since Warren Moon had 33 in 1990.

Clowney had a career-high in tackles (52), sacks (6.0), quarterback hits (17) and tackles for loss (16) in 2016 -- doubling his QB hits and tackles for loss totals from 2015. He finished the regular season with a sack in three straight games.

After missing the entire 2015 season with an ACL injury, Nelson led the league in receiving touchdowns in 2016 (14), earning him the Comeback Player of the Year award. He was one of four players with 1,000+ receiving yards and 10+ receiving touchdowns in 2016, joining Odell Beckham, Antonio Brown and Mike Evans. His 117.7 passer rating when targeted in the regular season was the highest in the league in 2016.

Trent Williams made the Pro Bowl for his fifth consecutive season in 2016, joining Joe Thomas as the only two offensive tackles to make the Pro Bowl in each of the last five seasons. In 2016, the Redskins allowed the fourth-fewest sacks in the NFL (23).

Bennett's 1.7 quarterback hits per game ranked third in the NFL, and trailed only Aaron Donald (2.1) and Joey Bosa (1.8). Since 1970, the Seahawks are one of three teams to rank top five in total and scoring defense in five straight seasons. Bennett's first season with the team was the first year of this streak.

At 33, Larry Fitzgerald became the third-oldest player to lead the NFL in receptions, behind Jerry Rice (34) and MacArthur Lane (34). 2016 marked his eighth career 1,000-yard season (tied for sixth-most in NFL history).

Newton's numbers suffered a big drop from his MVP season in 2015. That year, he had 3,837 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 99.4 passer rating. Last season, he had 3,509 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 75.8 passer rating. His completion percentage of 52.9 was the worst in the league among qualified quarterbacks.

Yanda, entering his 11th season in the NFL, is the longest-tenured offensive player on the Ravens roster and joins Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden as the only Ravens offensive players with 6+ career Pro Bowls. The Ravens have allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL since 2014 (76).

In 2016, Landry had 94 receptions, 1,136 receiving yards and four touchdowns, becoming the 6th player in Dolphins team history to have consecutive seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards. He has 288 career receptions, which is tied with Odell Beckham Jr. for the most receptions by a player in his first three seasons in NFL history.

Freeman had 1,079 rushing yards (a career-high) and 11 touchdowns in 2016. He was the only running back with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2015 and 2016, and the only RB with 10+ rushing touchdowns in each of the last two seasons.
