Atlanta Falcons outside linebacker Vic Beasley landed the No. 40 spot on the NFL Top 100 Players list.

The reigning NFL sack leader with 15.5 sacks, Beasley was unranked last year.

Beasley is the second Falcon to make the list behind running back Devonta Freeman who was voted one spot up from Beasley at No. 41. In 2016, Freeman was ranked No. 50.
