Khalil Mack is the third-best player in the NFL, according to the league-owned network. The NFL Network announced the top 10 players of its top 100 list Wednesday night.

Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald finished first, with Saints quarterback Drew Brees second.

NFL Network ranked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes No. 4 and Rams running back Todd Gurley No. 5. Players 6-10 were: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Raiders receiver Antonio Brown, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Falcons receiver Julio Jones and Broncos edge rusher Von Miller.

Mack ranked fifth on the NFL’s top 100 list in 2017 and No. 16 last year, before the Raiders traded him to the Bears.

Three Bears had already been represented in the list: cornerback Kyle Fuller (No. 95), defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (No. 39), safety Eddie Jackson (No. 30) and Mack.

Mack received a similar honor earlier in July when he was named one of four NFL players with a perfect “Madden 20” video game rating of 99.
