Outside Linebacker · Arizona Cardinals

Josh Sweat

No. 10 · 9th season

His peers put him on the list. That's the one that counts.

There are a lot of awards handed out by people who watch from the outside. The NFL Top 100 is different — it is voted on by the players themselves, the people who line up against each other every week and know exactly who makes their job harder.

Josh Sweat made the list.

As a pass rusher for the Arizona Cardinals, Sweat's entire job is to make quarterbacks uncomfortable. When the people across the line of scrimmage — the ones who feel it firsthand — decide you belong among the league's best 100, that recognition carries a particular weight that no panel of executives or journalists can replicate.

For a Cardinals team still building toward something, having a player respected enough by peers across the league to earn that kind of vote is a real signal. Sweat is not just a piece of the roster. His colleagues around the NFL are telling you he matters.

The question now is what he does with that recognition on the field.
