Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ranked No. 7 on the NFL Top 100 list going into the 2026 season.
This is Nacua’s highest ranking in the three years he has been included on the NFL Top 100 list. The 25-year-old ranked 41st last year and 33rd in 2024.
Nacua is coming off his best season yet, catching an NFL-best 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts). He was able to put up those numbers despite missing a full game and parts of two others due to injury.
Nacua made his second career Pro Bowl, was a first-team All-Pro and finished third in Offensive Player of the Year voting.

Nacua has established himself as one of the top wide receivers since entering the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick in 2023. Nacua is entering a pivotal year as he looks to secure a long-term contract extension from the Rams.
He is the fourth Rams player to be included on this year’s NFL Top 100 list, joining Davante Adams (No. 53), Byron Young (84) and Kyren Williams (89). While the rest of the top 10 hasn’t been announced yet, Myles Garrett and Matthew Stafford are almost certain to make the cut as well.
Puka Nacua doesn’t plan to livestream anymore
Nacua was involved in several controversies at the end of the 2025 season that brought negative attention to the Los Angeles Rams as they advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game.
Nacua made headlines after unknowingly performing an antisemitic dance during an appearance on a livestream with Adin Ross and N3on. He also raised some eyebrows when he implied that some NFL officials only make calls for the sole purpose of getting on TV.
The fallout from the livestream appearance included a $25,000 fine from the NFL and the Rams blocking the aforementioned streamers from entering their practice facility during a short week.
Nacua has seemingly learned from his past mistakes and does not plan to livestream in the future.
“There’s definitely a little bit more thought in going, what’s going on,” Nacua said during an appearance on the “Impaulsive” podcast.
“Let’s preface, let’s have somewhat of an itinerary of some of the things that might be happening or what’s going to be said and done. I wouldn’t say I’m big into the streaming world anymore. I think I had a decent little run, and I think I’m over it.”
