The NFL has already begun revealing the Top 100 Players of 2026, with Cam Jordan of the New Orleans Saints and Quenton Nelson of the Indianapolis Colts taking the No. 100 and 99 spots, respectively, but several Pittsburgh Steelers deserve to make their debut on the new list.
Here’s a look at three Steelers who should make their first appearance on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 list, kicking things off with one of the most underrated offensive linemen in the league.
Center Zach Frazier
Frazier might have only made his NFL debut in 2024, but he deserves to be included on the upcoming Top 100 Players list following back-to-back successful seasons at center. An imposing offensive lineman in pass protection and a dominant run blocker, Frazier is more than worthy of his first selection on the NFL Top 100 Players list.
Cornerback Jamel Dean
Dean led all NFL cornerbacks with an allowed passer rating of 46.9 in 2025, as well as receiving an incredible 80.6 grade from Pro Football Focus. Having only allowed one touchdown in coverage over the past two seasons, Dean deserves to be among the top 100 players for 2026.
Cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Another cornerback hits our list, as Porter proved last season that he’s one of the league’s best cornerbacks. Having logged over 1,000 defensive snaps without giving up a single touchdown, Porter is a physical specimen at corner and deserves to be recognized as such.
