Outside Linebacker · Los Angeles Chargers

Tuli Tuipulotu

No. 45 · 4th season

Tuli Tuipulotu just showed up on a list that notices

The NFL Top 100 is voted on by the players themselves. That matters. It is not a front-office decision or a media talking point — it is 1,700 professionals deciding who they think about when they prepare for a game.

Tuipulotu, a defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Chargers, was not on that list before this year. Then came 2025, and a breakout season that the rest of the league apparently could not ignore.

A first appearance on the Top 100 is a kind of peer recognition that a box score cannot manufacture. It means people who play the game every week started putting his name in conversations where it had not been before.

For a player still writing the first chapters of his career, the list is less a destination than a signal. The Chargers have a pass rusher their peers are now genuinely thinking about.
