Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie checked in at No. 81 on the 2025 NFL Top 100 rankings, released Friday. This marks McDuffie’s first appearance on the list.

He is the second Chief to be ranked this year, following center Creed Humphrey, who was No. 93 last week. The rankings are voted on by NFL players and highlight the league’s top performers.

McDuffie earned praise for his defensive balance and physical style, ranking third among corners last season with an 83.1 grade from Pro Football Focus.

Entering his fourth NFL season, McDuffie is seen as a strong candidate to become the league’s top defensive back in 2025.

The NFL Top 100 list will continue to be released over the coming weeks, spotlighting the best players as chosen by their peers.
