Max Wilson ‘27 spent the summer of 2024 studying the NFL Top 100, a ranking of NFL players according to the NFL players themselves. Max wanted to study what the players most value when ranking each other, as well as how this ranking system compares to other systems that rank NFL players (e.g. those based on statistics). Max also studied the “legacy effect” and the extent to which NFL players value popularity and established legacy when ranking each other.
