Another media personality, Emmanuel Acho of FOX Sports, created his own list. Like Barnwell's, the 49ers are situated in the No. 1 spot.
"Deebo has been an All-Pro," Acho explained. "Kittle's been an All-Pro. Christian McCaffrey has been an All-Pro. That team on offense is littered with All-Pros. I didn't even mention the best fullback in the game right now in Kyle Juszczyk."
Behind San Francisco, Acho listed the Cincinnati Bengals, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Chargers, and Miami Dolphins.
Unlike Barnwell's top five, Acho excluded the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, which came in at No. 3 on the ESPN list. That's because he considers quarterback Jalen Hurts the team's top playmaker.
"I am looking at the playmakers excluding the quarterbacks, the playmakers that help out the quarterback," Acho shared.
LeSean McCoy disagreed with Acho's ranking and the omission of the Eagles. His top three would consist of the Bengals at No. 1, the Eagles at No. 2, and the 49ers at No. 3.
