New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees came in at No. 16 on the NFL Network's list of the Top 100 players.
The Network revealed players ranked from No. 20-11 Monday night.
In 2016, Brees posted his NFL-record fifth 5,000-yard passing season – all other quarterbacks combined have four – by completing 471 of 673 passes for 5,208 yards and 37 touchdowns, with 15 interceptions. It was the third time in 11 seasons as a New Orleans Saint that Brees completed at least 70 percent of his passes, and the NFL-record seventh time he has led the league in passing yards.
Brees had the third-most passing touchdowns, and led an offense that scored 29.3 yards per game, second-most in the league. The Saints led the league in total offense and haven't finished lower than sixth since he joined the franchise in 2006.
