2021 NFL Power Rankings: It Begins Again

Traditional power rankings overreact to one HUGE WIN and one sad (!) loss. Rarely do they take in account the entire season. To give a more accurate representation of what’s going on, and where these teams currently stand, I will not equivocate or give into the yank of heartstrings the NFL season brings week to week.

Instead of living with such a short memory, and being so myopic, here’s where the NFL stands before the season opens up and entropy ravages it. This list also includes each team’s free agent additions, player departures, and 2021 NFL Draft classes. We will see you again once every team has played four games.
