Josh Hines-Allen just earned a spot at 48 on the NFL’s top 100 players list for 2026 — voted by his peers — and it’s no surprise. The Jaguars’ defensive end combines rare power and speed, especially around the edge, and last season he racked up 95 pressures — second only to Aidan Hutchinson — while setting a franchise record with 61 career sacks. His ankle flexibility lets him maintain that explosiveness even when bending hard. Even elite defenders like Maxx Crosby study his film, and Kayvon Thibodeaux called him a “dog” for his consistent, impact plays. This recognition caps off a historic season for Hines-Allen, proving his dominance isn’t a flash — it’s sustained excellence.
