Mind-boggling stats for the Top 100 Players of 2019: 50-41
The "Top 100 Players of 2019" countdown continues! Check out these mind-blowing stats that prove why these players made the list.

Baker Mayfield threw 27 touchdowns in 14 games last season, breaking the rookie record previously held by Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson – who both needed 16 games to get to 26. Mayfield led the Browns to six wins in 2018, the previous 12 Browns quarterbacks to start a game combined for five wins since 2014.

Myles Garrett's 13.5 sacks in 2018 are the second-most recorded in a season by a Browns player since 1982, his 20.5 career sacks are the most by any Browns player over their first two NFL seasons. Garrett was a terror off the edge in 2018, racking up 66 quarterback pressures, second-most among all edge defenders behind Dee Ford (per Next Gen Stats).

Ingram was named to his second-consecutive Pro Bowl in 2018, making him one of four defensive ends selected to each of the last two Pro Bowls. Since 2015, Ingram has 36.0 sacks and 224 tackles – the only players with more sacks and tackles over that span are Khalil Mack and Calais Campbell.

JuJu Smith-Schuster's 2,343 career receiving yards are the third-most in NFL history by a player before his 23rd birthday – behind only Randy Moss and Josh Gordon. Smith-Schuster became the youngest player in NFL history to record at least 110 receptions and 1,400 receiving yards in a season.

Patrick Peterson joins Tom Brady as the only players to earn a Pro Bowl selection in each of the last eight years. Peterson's biggest impact might be as a deterrent – he was targeted on only 9.0 percent of coverage snaps in 2018, the second-lowest rate among all cornerbacks behind Richard Sherman (min. 500 coverage snaps, per PFF).

Demarcus Lawrence became the first Cowboys player to record consecutive seasons of 10.0+ sacks (10.5 in 2018, 14.5 in 2017) since DeMarcus Ware did so from 2006-2012. Prior to the two DeMarcuses, the feat hadn't been accomplished by a Cowboy since Charles Haley in 1994-1995. Lawrence flashed his elite versatility in 2018 as the only player in the NFL with 40+ quarterback pressures and 20+ run stuffs, according to Next Gen Stats.

Ben Roethlisberger led the NFL with a career-high 5,129 passing yards in 2018, becoming one of seven players in NFL history to reach 5,000 passing yards in a season. Roethlisberger currently sports the second-highest career win percentage of all active quarterbacks with 20+ starts (67.5), behind only Tom Brady (77.5). At 36 years old, Roethlisberger posted the second-fastest time-to-throw (snap to release) in the NFL in 2018 behind only Derek Carr. Even more impressive is that his time has improved in each of the last two seasons.

David Bakhtiari was named first-team All-Pro for the first time in his career in 2018. According to PFF, Bakhtiari has earned the highest pass blocking grade among offensive tackles in each of the last three seasons (93.6 in 2018, 94.6 in 2017, and 94.3 in 2016).

Christian McCaffrey set the record for receptions by a running back in 2018, roaring past Matt Forte's 102 to set the new bar at 107 catches. McCaffrey is one of just three players in NFL history with 1,500+ yards rushing and 1,500+ yards receiving in their first two seasons (Alvin Kamara and Herschel Walker).

Cameron Jordan is one of only six players with 25+ sacks since 2017, but his 17 passes defensed in that span are more than double any other player on that list. Jordan had six hustle stops last season (covering 20+ yards on a defensive stop), tied for the most among all edge defenders (per Next Gen Stats).
