Tyler Boyd played his first eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, arriving in 2016 as a Second Round Pick from the University of Pittsburgh.

Boyd did not have many touches in his first two years (76 combined receptions) but settled in as a productive WR 2 over his last six years in the jungle.  He had over 1,000 Yards in both 2018 and 2019, and over his eight years, he had an even 6,000 Yards with 31 TDs for Cincinnati.

He departed Cincinnati for Tennessee via free agency.

Kansas City Football lost one of its early stars, Abner Haynes, who passed away at the age of 86.

Haynes was with the Chiefs from their inception, dating back to 1960 when they were the Dallas Texans.  Winning the AFL Rookie of the Year, Haynes would also win the UPI and The Sporting News Player of the Year off of his league-leading 875 Rushing Yards and 9 TDs.  A dual-threat Halfback, Haynes led the AFL in Rushing Touchdowns the next two seasons and was a vital part of the team’s AFL Championship in 1962.

With the Texans/Chiefs, Haynes rushed for 3,814 Yards and caught 199 passes for 2,739 Yards with 56 Touchdowns from scrimmage.  The man who was the franchise’s first superstar was inducted to their Hall of Honor in 1991.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Abner Haynes's fans, friends, and family.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Buffalo Bills.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Panthers had an abysmal year, winning only two games, but as they are still a relatively young franchise, there was surprising movement in the top 50 with two new entries and two elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Steve Smith
2. Cam Newton
3. Luke Kuechly
4. Julius Peppers
5. Ryan Kalil

You can find the entire list here.

Two-time Pro Bowl Linebacker Brian Burns rocketed to #25 from #41, but he is now a New York Giant.

Offensive Tackle Taylor Moton shot up to #35 from #45.

The first new entrant is Defensive Tackle Derrick Brown, who is coming off his first Pro Bowl.  He enters at #43.

The second debut is Linebacker/Safety Jeremy Chinn, who comes in at #45.  He is now with the Washington Commanders.

Notably, Nose Tackle Greg Kragen and Cornerback Ken Lucas has been dropped off the list.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

One of the more versatile defensive players in the early 2020s, Jeremy Chinn came to the Carolina Panthers as a Second Round Pick from Southern Illinois.

In the four seasons he played with the Panthers, Chinn lined up as an Inside Linebacker, Safety, and Cornerback. In his first two years with Carolina, he was one of the better tacklers in the National Football League. Chinn was so good as a rookie that he compiled 117 Tackles with two Fumble Recovery Touchdowns and was the runner-up to Chase Young for the 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Injuries hampered his effectiveness in 2022 and 2023, specifically a quadricep issue in 2023. As a free agent, he signed with the Washington Commanders for the 2024 Season. Chinn had 324 Tackles for Carolina.
