NLL Player Rankings: Best Dressed
With only four games last weekend and a record-breaking Saturday to finish the regular season on deck, we’ve hit pause on our performance-based National Lacrosse League Player Rankings and instead selected this year’s best dressed ball players.
A few rules.
Firstly, we needed recent photographic proof of what guys were wearing. Most of that exists on the league’s photo archives, plus some on social media too. A handful of teams went hard. Others not so much.
With apologizes to Billy Dee Smith, Dan Teat, Jimmy Quinlan, Tracey Kelusky, Andrew McBride and a few others, we didn’t include coaches. Sorry! Maybe this summer? No submissions required via DMs. Please!
In addition to selecting based on game-day threads, we also valued players that had their own unique style and vibe.
And that’s it. Our final Player Rankings will get published next week, but for now, here are this year’s Top 30 NLL Player Rankings: Best Dressed Edition.
