When NFL Network unveiled its list of the Top 100 players in the NFL last year, as voted on by NFL players themselves, Titans running back Chris Johnson was No. 13. When the new Top 100 list was unveiled on Saturday night, Johnson was still on it. Barely.

This time, Johnson checks in at No. 100, an 87-spot drop.

That’s a steep drop but not surprising, considering that Johnson is coming off his worst NFL season, with 1,047 yards and 4.0 yards a carry. After a long holdout got him a new six-year, $56 million contract, Johnson spent most of the season struggling to get back into his previous form. Johnson had five games of less than 25 rushing yards.

Johnson did not appear on the NFL Network Top 100 show. He may have been too busy counting his money.
