Predicting top 10 players in NFL five years from now: Two-way college star listed; where Patrick Mahomes ranks

Tom Brady’s purchase of the New England Patriots has now been finalized, while an 86-year-old Jerry Jones just fired a 77-year old Bill Belichick as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

If you think writers who put out future mock drafts the day after the conclusion of the current NFL Draft are crazy, then what I’m about to do is certified insane. This is the final boss of the polarizing portion of the offseason which we’ve dubbed “list szn.” Who will be the best football players five years from now? That’s what I’m here today to recklessly speculate about.

I’m going to be talking about the top 10 players in the NFL entering the 2029 season. All of these players won’t be household names. I’m not sure many had Patrick Mahomes challenging Brady for the best quarterback ever on their bingo cards during his time at Texas Tech, so I’m going to have to dip into the college ranks to prop up players who may or may not live up to the hype. These names vary in age, with some players entering the latter stages of their NFL careers in 2029, while others will be entering their primes. Let’s begin with a young talent making his name known in Boulder.
