NFL Top 100 di tutti i tempi
# NFL Top 100 di tutti i tempi

La classifica dei migliori giocatori di tutti i tempi della National Football League, in inglese Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players, è stata una serie televisiva trasmessa in dieci parti da NFL Network nel 2010. La serie fu basata sui migliori 100 giocatori della National Football League di tutti i tempi, scelta da una commissione selezionata da NFL Network. I membri votanti erano ex allenatori, giocatori e dirigenti della NFL e membri dei media. Ogni episodio, trasmesso il giovedì dal 3 settembre al 4 novembre 2010, introdusse un gruppo di dieci giocatori della lista, partendo dalla posizione numero 100 alla 91 e salendo nella lista di settimana in settimana.

L'ultimo episodio, trasmesso il 4 novembre 2010, presentò i 10 migliori giocatori di tutti i tempi, secondo NFL Network. Jerry Rice fu scelto come miglior giocatore di tutti i tempi, con Jim Brown al secondo posto. Il difensore classificato più in alto, Lawrence Taylor, fu inserito al terzo posto. Allo stesso tempo, NFL Network pubblicò anche una lista basata sulle votazioni dei tifosi, in cui Rice si classificò nuovamente primo, seguito da Joe Montana, Walter Payton e Barry Sanders.
