World football player rankings 2022

Kelce comes in as the highest-ranked tight end in the Top 100 for the second consecutive season with 92 receptions for 1,125 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021. Benefitting from a simpatico rapport with his quarterback, the Chiefs’ sure-handed TE is a model for consistency and seizes big moments to help maintain success in Kansas City. Entering his 10th season, Kelce, a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, is putting together a career of historic proportions at his position. The 32-year-old is approaching the 10,000-yard mark for his career (9,006) and would surpass Rob Gronkowski (9,286 yards; fourth all time among tight ends) and Shannon Sharpe (9,961, fifth all time) in 2022 should he reach that milestone. That’s Hall of Fame-worthy territory for an overlooked third-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2013. Ramsey produced yet another All-Pro and Pro Bowl campaign during his second full season in L.A., garnering a five-spot improvement to earn his highest ranking in the Top 100 and the top spot for a corner this year. Notorious for closing off half the field for opposing quarterbacks, Ramsey tied his career high with four interceptions while adding 16 passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2021, and did it all while playing with Leading the league in receiving yards (6,195) and receiving touchdowns (57) the past five seasons combined (three catches short of leading in receptions, too), Adams personifies what a premier NFL wide receiver is with a...

Did you know... France hosted its second World Cup in 1998 after first hosting the competition in 1938. It was the third country to host two World Cups after Mexico (1970, 1986) and Italy (1934, 1990). Germany will become the fourth country to host two World Cups in 2006 as they previously hosted the 1974 competition.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is in the books, and it marks the first major international tournament that PFF has fully graded. Harking back to PFF's early days, our staff sat down to dig into the grades and metrics to come up with a list of the top 50 players at the tournament. Here’s what they decided. 1. Lionel Messi, Argentina To no surprise, the G.O.A.T. tops our list. The Argentinian legend earned the highest dribbling grade (95.0) and completed the most dribbles (26) at the tournament, and his 60.5% completion rate was the highest among players who attempted at least 20 dribbles. The PSG forward also earned a 90.4 passing grade, fifth among players in Qatar, while his 43 line-breaking passes finished ninth. His seven goals and three assists were just the cherry on top of an all-time tournament performance. 2. Antoine Griezmann, France Griezmann may not have had his best game in the final, but that should not overshadow his incredible tournament. He finished with a PFF crossing grade of 84.3, fourth among players with 10 cross attempts, while his 87.6 passing grade was also one of the World Cup's best marks. He left Qatar having created 22 chances, the second-most among all players. 3. Achraf Hakimi, Morocco The PSG man finished with seven grades over 70.0, the most by any player. Chief among those were his 79.6 aerial-duel grade, his 80.1 50/50 grade and his 77.8 challenge grade. Hakimi won 44 challenges in all, third at the World Cup, and led the tournament in dribbles d...
