The Cleveland Browns aren’t usually well-represented on NFL Network’s Top 100 list, but that may change with the young talent currently on the team.

NFL Network is currently in the midst of revealing its Top 100 list, ranking the 100 best players in the NFL as voted on by the players themselves.

As usual, the Browns don’t figure to be featured much during the countdown.

Last year saw both Joe Thomas and Gary Barnidge make the list, but Thomas seems like the only Browns player who will make it this season.

With the team going through the current rebuilding process, there is clearly a lack of star power. However, the influx of young talent will hopefully help turn things around. And if that doesn’t happen, well, we won’t even get into that right now.

Browns fans are investing a great deal of hope in players who have yet to play a single snap in the NFL, and in others who have just one year of experience. It is all we can do during this rebuilding process, but it doesn’t mean the hope has gone away.

The hope and optimism being placed in these young players will hopefully result in some of them ending up on future Top 100 lists. The following slides break down five players who have a great shot to end up amongst the best in the NFL, and who will hopefully help change the narrative surrounding the franchise in the near future.
