Key Discussion Points & Insights

Nico Collins: #58 on NFL's Top 100

• Historic Achievement: Nico becomes the first Texan on the 2026 list, coming in at #58, which the hosts see as both an honor and, given his talent, a possible slight.

  • Quote: "Nico Collins has been named the 58th best player in the sport of American football by the peers of his that vote." (01:50, Co-host)

• Comparisons to Last Year’s Ranking

  • Drop from #32: Last year, Collins was ranked 32nd, sparking debate on why he dropped despite playing more games in 2025.
    • Quote: "He was 32 last year... What's ironic is that Nico was 32 on that list after 2024." (02:32, Co-host)
  • Injury Impact: Byron emphasizes that injuries, not a drop in per-game performance, account for Collins' slide:
    • Quote: "I can't look at it as an insult with Nico because of the injuries... If you could just stay healthy for the entire season, that's the slam dunk." (02:38, Byron)

• Statistical Breakdown

  • Collins had nearly identical yardage in both 2024 (with fewer games) and 2025, underlining his elite efficiency.
    • Quote: "He had over a thousand yards in just 12 games... On a game by game basis, he probably was more impressive in 2024." (03:35, Co-host)

• Texans' Offensive Reality

  • Collins is often the focal point of opponent defenses, sometimes limiting his production but boosting his value.
    • Quote: "If the Texans offense is lagging... he is the guy that teams are focused on taking away. Like, don't let Nico Collins kill us." (04:43, Byron)

NFL Top 100 Voting Dynamics & Critique

• Peer Voting Perception

  • The list relies on subjective player voting, which the hosts view as both meaningful and deeply flawed.
    • Skepticism: "I don't get as worked up about the NFL top 100 as you do. I think it's a stupid voting system and yet I like the fact that people do care about it." (12:21, Byron)
  • Surprising Inclusions: Bo Nix ranked 59th, and Lamar Jackson down at 69th, are discussed as clear evidence of the system’s inconsistency.
    • Quote: "Bo Nix, 59th on the NFL's top 100... that's one of those things, Seth, when Lamar Jackson was 69th, like a week ago." (12:03, Co-host)
    • Quote: "It's asinine. But I'm not going to Ryan Clarkett and say that this is... an indication the players don't respect Lamar Jackson." (12:36, Byron)

• Positional Bias

  • Non-marquee positions like safety and cornerback struggle to get peer recognition unless a player is a superstar.
    • Quote: "Usually certain positions are more heavily weighted than others... The percentage of quarterbacks in the league that make the top 100 is a lot higher than the percentage of centers and guards." (14:11, Byron)
    • Only 6 safeties and 7 cornerbacks made the Top 100 last year, making it tough for new names like Kamari Lassiter or Jalen Petrie.

Other Texans and the Top 100 List

• Texans Snubs?
  • Concern that Kamari Lassiter, Jalen Petrie, Kaleb Bullock, or even C.J. Stroud may not crack the list despite individual excellence.
    • Quote: "I thought at least one, maybe two... Kamari Lassiter, Jalen Petrie and Kalyn Bullock... would make it, man. Maybe they will." (15:16, Co-host)
  • Prediction that name value and highlight performances, especially on national TV, help a player’s Top 100 candidacy.
    • Quote: "I think it’ll be Petrie again because of flair, name recognition, national games. This guy shows up, does big things." (16:28, Byron)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• C.J. Stroud on Nico Collins:
  "When I first got here, I told him, man, it's my job to make you a superstar. And I think he's up to that level now." (08:27, C.J. Stroud)
• Team & Peer Respect:
  "He's one of my favorite receivers to watch, honestly, to study... He's big, tall, athletic, does a great job at the line winning against press." (08:58 & 09:00, C.J. Stroud)
• Perspective on Collins:
  "Can't believe that. All around great receiver. Like, he got hands, he got speed, he got quickness, he got everything." (09:24, Byron)
• Flawed Voting System:
  "Bo Nix... above Lamar Jackson. It just, it's asinine. But... it's a flawed system." (12:21–12:45, Byron)

Tone and Banter

The episode blends playful frustration with pride, poking fun at the quirkiness of the Top 100 process ("Bo Nix 59th. Trash.") while clearly rooting for Houston's stars. The hosts maintain their signature rhythm: insightful, a bit snarky, and always with an undercurrent of affection for the Texans and their listeners.

---

Summary Takeaway

Nico Collins’ inclusion at #58 on the 2026 NFL Top 100 is a major recognition—deserved but perhaps lower than his talent calls for, mainly due to injury and the quirks of NFL peer voting. C.J. Stroud’s partnership with Collins is highlighted as instrumental, and the episode spotlights the challenge of earning league-wide respect for Houston players outside national star power or flashy box scores. The hosts celebrate Collins while keeping a critical—and entertaining—eye on the NFL's favorite player-ranking ritual.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Ready here, sports radio 610 presents Payne and Pendergast. All right. My actually it's funny. I teased a NFL top 100 topic which we'll get to. But while I was teasing that while we were in break, while you were sleeping, Nico Collins has been named the 58th best player in the sport of American football by the peers of his that vote.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

In the NFL's top 100. I'm sending the video to buy. It's a two minute video that they do for each player.

[Byron]

Yeah, I look at this as an insult.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Well, he was 32 last year.

[Byron]

Yeah. Yeah, he's.

[Co-host / Analyst]

He's 32.

[Byron]

I can't look at it as an insult with Nico because. Because of the injuries. You know, like every year. It's just when he has these injuries it's man. Okay. You prorate the stats and extend it out. It's. If you could just stay Healthy for the entire season. That's the. The slam dunk. Put the cap on. Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's right there in the very, very top.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I agree with you. The injuries are what's keeping him certainly from cracking into that top tier. Of the guys that we know. Puka, Nakua, Jackson, Smith and Jigba, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Aman Ross, St. Brow. These are all guys who have not been named yet. They're all going to be named sometime between now and number one. What's ironic is that Nico was 32 on that list after 2024.

[Byron]

Right. Where he only played 12 games. He missed more games and it was one quarter. And yeah, he only played one quarter with. With one of those games with two of them.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Actually. He's only played a quarter of the game at the end of the year. Also Titans. So he missed. He missed. He missed a total of almost six games.

[Byron]

Yeah, it was last year. He only missed two games. And plus whatever he missed in the game, he got injured.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I think the reason why he dipped this year is if you look at his personal per game stats, they were through the roof in 2024. He had almost. He had almost the same number of yards in 2024 and 2025. I think he had like a hundred more yards last season, but he had over a thousand. He had over a thousand yards in just 12 games. And as you point out, two of those games he only played a quarter of. Yeah, so he was on a game by game basis. He probably was more impressive in 2024 when he was out there. I mean, look, 58 is nothing to sneeze at. It's still really good. That's a pretty big drop for someone who in all the other different. All the other different subjective exercises that we've been going through this year, you know, specifically the one that we talked about a lot the last couple of weeks at Jeremy Fowler, ESPN poll of coaches and coordinators in front office people where he was eighth in that. Yeah, I feel like that's where Nico falls with a lot of people is fans, media evaluators, things like that is he's not quite in that tippy top crust of guys, but he ain't outside the top.

[Byron]

I think the biggest thing about him is that right now it's if the Texans offense is lagging or our laggards, he is the guy that teams are focused on taking away. Like, don't let Nico Collins kill us.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

All right?

[Byron]

We're going to just do everything we can be to kill Nico Collins or not. Let Nico Collins kill us because we don't think that they have anybody else who's going to kill us. Yep.

[C.J. Stroud]

And.

[Byron]

And that's going to tamp things down a little bit. He finished last year 8th in yards per game. I. The emergence of Jackson, Smith and Jigba obviously was a. One of the big things that happened last year.

[Co-host / Analyst]

He might be top 10 this year. Jackson in that. In the top one.

[Byron]

Right, right, right. Yeah. So I think that this, like, with so many as it is, with so many guys on the offense, it's. It comes down to. Okay. With a more potent offense and with a better CJ Stroud than then. Yeah. Nico's gonna get a whole lot more respect.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah.

[Byron]

But we're following the. The fact that, like you pointed out, he's coming off a year in which he played more games, and statistically and everything, it doesn't look that much different than the year before. Except the. The bloom is off the rose a little bit in terms of how people think about the Texans. Yes. And Nico and everybody else becomes a little bit more of an afterthought offensively when everybody's so hyper focused on the Texans defense, when they're having conversations about the Texans.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah. Do we have the. We got the video lined up, Byron. Okay, so we'll play this. So it's. This is the. This is the vig that they put together for Nico Collins making the top 100. This is. These are always fun to play because there's a lot of Mark Vandermeer calling touchdowns and long catches and things like that. Also among the people you're going to hear in this, you're going to hear. You'll recognize the voices. There's a lot of Derek Stingley in this. You know, he goes up against Nico in practice every day. There's a lot of C.J. stroud. One of the names, one of the voices you'll hear in this a couple of times you may not recognize is Alec Pierce, who plays the same position in the same division as Nico. So let's hit play on it here. We'll celebrate.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Nico Collins, number 58 in the NFL's top 100. All right, twill. Big plays, big plays. Big plays all day, baby. Go be you. I don't think anybody can come here 101.

[Byron]

Like, it's just not possible. It's really not.

[C.J. Stroud]

When I first got here, I told him, man, it's my job to make you a superstar. And I think he's up to that level now.

[Co-host / Analyst]

C.J.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

surveying the field. Throws caught.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Nico, just go to number 12. He gets it for you.

[C.J. Stroud]

My job to, you know, double on him and rotate to him and, you know, give him all that superstar treatment. Let's keep an eye on that ball.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

Going to 12 in thick moments.

[C.J. Stroud]

Fast, strong catchability, yakability.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

And a strong connection made to Nico Collins. Collins with yards after the catch.

[C.J. Stroud]

He's one of my favorite receivers to

[Co-host / Analyst]

watch, honestly, to study. Stroud well protected. And there's Nico Collins. And Nico Collins will glide into the end zone. An opening drive. Takes a touchdown. He's big, tall, athletic, does a great job at the line winning against press.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

I love watching him play this game,

[C.J. Stroud]

man, I like Nico's game. He a big body receiver, but he can still take the top.

[Co-host / Analyst]

That's cam curl. Oh, what a catch by Collins.

[Byron]

Can't believe that. All around great receiver. Like, he got hands, he got speed, he got quickness, he got everything.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

I love Nico Collins. Uses that big body and then look at the finish. That's what happens when you're six' four. 222.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Nico Collins has it taking off. We're kind of holding down a little bit.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

And then Stroud back to throw. Taking a deep shot again for Collins.

[Byron]

Adjustment.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I think it was like the last play of the game. They throw it up to him. He just makes a catch and seals the game on us. Collins delivers.

[C.J. Stroud]

Tampa Bay, Week two. The corner was pressed and took off. And I still trusted him. Just put in a spot only where he can get it for him to work his body, get his body in bounds, you know. It was a super cool play.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Touchdown, Texans. What a catch.

[C.J. Stroud]

I think he's top five.

[Byron]

He's top three in the league right now. Like, he doesn't get the recognition all the time.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I think he's one of the most underrated players in the NFL. There you go.

[Byron]

Who's that at the end?

[Co-host / Analyst]

Alec Pierce.

[Byron]

Oh, ok. Alec.

[Co-host / Analyst]

That was Alec Pierce. It was Derek Stingley right before I

[Byron]

figured it was either Alec Pierce or Reed Blankenson

[Co-host / Analyst]

or Cooper De Jean.

[Byron]

Sounded like a nondescript white guy. I love my wife very much. We have. She's born me. Many children doing what she's supposed to do. Is that the best?

[Co-host / Analyst]

He's dope. Let me tell you. So Nico makes the list.

[Byron]

Cam curl.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I knew it was funny because I was watching. I haven't seen sound turned down on the video. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have to explain who that is for sure.

[Byron]

Okay.

[C.J. Stroud]

All right.

[Byron]

I don't. I know there's a lot of people listening who I think heard CJ say. I told him when I got here, is my job to make you a superstar. And that's where he is now.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

He did his job.

[Byron]

All right. Good job. C.J.

[Co-host / Analyst]

did his job. Where's his contract? Can you imagine? That's his argument accomplished. That's his argument. Mulligetta is going in there like his job was to make Nico Collins a superstar. Not the New England game. Not his job.

[Byron]

Not his job.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah.

[Byron]

His job was to make. Yeah. I mean, he wasn't out there. Yeah. So. Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

So nico, Nico, number 58.

[Byron]

I made Nico Collins a superstar. And when he's not available for the New England game.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Right.

[Byron]

My own creation isn't out there.

[Co-host / Analyst]

How am I supposed to do that

[Byron]

as, like, a surgeon without my tools?

[Co-host / Analyst]

This is the top 100 thing in the. That happened. That's happened in the last 24 hours. That made me upset.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Top 100 type upset. Didn't lose sleep.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Maybe. Bo Nix, 59th on the NFL's top 100. That's one of those things, Seth, when lamar Jackson was 69th, like a week ago.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

And you and I last Monday, and you and I are like, well, there's no way CJ made the top 100. And then now Bo Nix is 59th. And I'm like, okay, maybe he is.

[Byron]

That's where I don't think people were. I don't, you know, I don't get as worked up about the NFL top 100 as you do. I think it's a stupid voting system and yet I like the fact that people do care about it. Makes me angry because it's a stupid voting system that ends up with Bo Nicks ranked above Lamar Jackson.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Right.

[Byron]

It just, it's, it's asinine. It's asinine. But I'm not going to Ryan Clarkett and say that this is, this is an indication of the players don't respect Lamar Jackson.

[Co-host / Analyst]

You'll get fired.

[Byron]

Fired. Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Let go.

[Byron]

Ryan Clark was acting like players all got together as a group and said, oh, no, Lamar Jackson isn't really that good. Like, no, it's just, it's a flawed way it works. It's a flawed system.

[Co-host / Analyst]

The way it works Now I am starting to think. Yeah, because when we pre NFL top 100, I know, I came in here and I, you know, said these are the players I think with the Texans could make it. You know, based on my intense research and love of the NFL top 100, I feel like I know the dynamics of the system. I thought at least one, maybe two of these three guys that have never finished in the top 100 who are on the Texans would make it. At least one, maybe two of Kamari Lasseter, Jalen Petrie and Kalyn Bullock. Yeah, maybe all three. I don't know that any of them are making it now. I don't know. CJ Stroud is making it. And I don't know that any of those three defensive backs are making this thing with Nico coming in at 58. I just feel like the, the football world, the players world probably has Nico Collins higher up their pecking order of Houston Texans than they do any of those guys. I'm not saying it's deserved. I would put, I would possibly put Kamari Lasseter maybe even ahead of Nico Collins on something like this.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

But I'm just knowing how this thing works. I think Stroud, Petrie, Lassiter and Bullock might all be missing out on this.

[Byron]

There's, there's a, there's the other thing that happens with this poll is that usually certain positions are more heavily weighted than others. You got like. Yeah. Proportionally end up with a lot more quarterbacks on it. You know, the percentage of quarterbacks in the league that make the top 100 is a lot higher than the percentage of centers and guards that make the league, which makes sense. But I think when you get outside of the marquee skill positions or cornerback and kind of the edge rusher. Yeah, the marquee positions, then those guys have a harder time cracking the list until they really establish a reputation. So I. So I think that Kayla Bullock especially is in that boat where. I don't think. I think teams that have played the Texans have a really high appreciation for Kaleb Bullock. I think teams that haven't played the Texans or didn't play them last year especially, are Kaleb Bullock still just a little bit of a notion, and it's going to take some time for him to really get that response.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I think you're. I think you're going to end up being right about that. I. I think. I mean, I was off on this. Like, I. I thought that the fact that Bullock had that huge game on national TV against the Bills.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I thought that Jalen Petrie had that huge game against the Chiefs, which included murdering Rasheed Rice. Cold blood on the field. And Kamari Lassiter has just been consistently good in big games for the Texans. I thought at least one of them would make it, man. Maybe they will.

[Byron]

Still, you look at last year's top 100 and only. And since Jalen Petrie is probably listed as a safety on the ballot or whatever. Well, these guys are just listing their top players.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah. They don't.

[Byron]

Position don't matter. But whether you call them a safety or a cornerback or a nickelback or whatever. Last year. Safety, there were only six safeties on the list.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah.

[Byron]

In the top 100. So it's just tougher. Cornerbacks, there were only seven. So. So for. That's going to be really, really tough for. For Kamari to make it when he's still a younger player. That's kind of overshadowed in terms of name recognition by Derek Stingley.

[Co-host / Analyst]

He's already got Stingley on his own team. Yeah, you're right about that. Okay, let's pretend for a second that Lassiter, Petrie, and Bullock all missed the top 100. You got to pick one to make it next year. Gun to your head, life savings on the line. You got to pick one to be picked by the players in the very flawed top 100.

[Byron]

I think it'll be Petrie again because of flair, name recognition, national games. This guy shows up, does big things and that because they're not bound to voting by position. Like the trouble. You're right where Jalen Petrie is one of these star, star position players that is your nickelback that just doesn't quite fit the mold. Then he. The people, they don't have to think about whether he's a safety or anything else. They're like oh no. Yeah, Jalen Petrie, I really like him.

[Co-host / Analyst]

That's a good one. That's. That's a good one. I'm going to say Lassiter just because I think he might deserve to be there already. I think, I think Kamari Lassiter, you know you said seven corners made it last year. I think he might be one of the seven best corners just terms of his all around game.

[Byron]

Well, he's got one of those. The NFL executives and coaches, the anonymous ones for ESPN. He was 11. He's 11 there.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Yeah.

[Play-by-play Announcer]

Yeah.

[Sally Helm]

He.

[Co-host / Analyst]

But I feel like he's got a style of play now. Look, if he's missing the top 100 this year, maybe I'm totally off base on this but I feel he's got a style of play.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

That is the kids say slaps when it comes to peers voting for him to respect his physicality.

[Byron]

This is where it goes back into. People like wanting their specific type of cornerback though. I think the. The elite man coverage skills are the things that people hold the highest esteem and they don't. He doesn't get as much credit for coming up and playing the run as effectively.

[Co-host / Analyst]

Well like edge rushers.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Co-host / Analyst]

You know they don't get credit for setting the edge. Credit for sacking the quarterback. Yeah. All right. Pain and pender gas. We at the end of the 9:00 clock hour. Way to go, Nico. 58th on the NFL's top 100. Bo Nick's 59th. Trash.

[Byron]

Nico Collins got the respect he deserved. Bo Nix. The voting system's all flawed. Don't disregard any of this. Anyway, same exact. That's how we go with this. It's meaningless. Except for when the Texans are included.

[Co-host / Analyst]

I just said that the same minute of the same segment. All right. Hey, the latest in the. Brandon. Brandon Iuk. What are you doing? I feel like we say this every week. Why he going after this guy now?
