NFL Rankings: Top 5 ‘Big 3’s’

In the NFL, it takes a village. There are generally 22 starters on an NFL team, but with the increasing number of teams regularly using sub packages, there’s some wiggle room to argue that teams have even more. Yet a few, exceptional players can change the complexion of an NFL game — a few impact players. Put three impact players together, and you’ve got a Big 3. It almost sounds like the NBA, right? But for this NFL Rankings “Big 3” edition, we’re going to rank the best five trios.

Each is so good that they can’t be controlled. They feed off one another’s strengths. They would stand out alone, but they’re a force when they’re together. The trio comes together in a harmony to achieve a common goal, like running the football, rushing the passer or passing the football. And for these five teams, three is the most powerful number.
