1. Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals: London, ON
During the 2025-26 season, Brown topped 1,000 rushing yards and had six rushing scores. He was also sensational in the passing game, hauling in 69 catches for 437 yards and five touchdowns.
He was one of the best running backs in all of the NFL.
2. Alaric Jackson, Los Angeles Rams: Windsor, Ontario
Jackson is among the best Canadian NFL players and is one of the top left tackles in the NFL.
Since becoming a full-time left tackle in 2023, he’s allowed only eight sacks across nearly 2,000 pass-blocking snaps, surrendering one in 2023, three in 2024, and four this past season.
3. Theo Johnson, New York Giants: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Johnson proved to be one of the favourite targets of Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, catching 45 passes for 528 yards and five touchdowns.
His five touchdown receptions led the Giants, and he’ll remain a factor in 2026-27.
4. Elic Ayomanor, Tennessee Titans: Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
A rookie in 2025-26, Ayomanor was excellent for the Titans, catching 41 passes for 515 yards and four touchdowns.
He finished the season tied for the team lead in touchdowns.
5. Matthew Bergeron, Atlanta Falcons: Victoriaville, Quebec
Across 519 pass-blocking snaps in 15 games for the Falcons, Bergeron allowed 28 pressures and just one sack. He’s been a consistent pass-blocking left guard since entering the NFL in 2023.
6. Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers: Edmonton, Alberta
With the addition of Rico Dowdle and some injuries, Hubbard took a step back in 2025-26, rushing 134 times for 511 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown. He added 30 catches for 223 yards and three more touchdowns.
He’ll aim to bounce back in 2026-27.
7. Benjamin St-Juste, Los Angeles Chargers: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
After signing a one-year deal with the Chargers, St-Juste logged 378 snaps (263 in coverage) and played quite well. His reception percentage allowed was 47.5%, and he allowed only one touchdown while picking off a pass and breaking up three.
8. Jevon Holland, New York Giants: Coquitlam, British Columbia
Holland had an up-and-down first season with the Giants. He recorded fewer tackles this year than last, but he allowed fewer receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He also had his first interception since 2023-24.
9. Michael Hoecht, Buffalo Bills: Oakville, ON
Hoecht appeared in just two games for the Bills before tearing his Achilles in Week 9.
In limited action, he had two sacks and a forced fumble.
