NFL.com recently released a list ranking the top-100 rookies who will have the biggest impact on the NFL season, and Florida State led the way with six players.

The Seminoles produced the No.1 overall pick in the draft in QB Jameis Winston, and that’s exactly where NFL.com’s list begins.

NFL.com had this to say about the former FSU passer: “Bottom line -- nobody in this draft class will have a greater impact on their new team than the guy under center for Lovie Smith.”

Surprisingly, Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman was the second-highest Seminole on the list at No. 14, and was followed by Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. at No. 37.

Buffalo Bills tight end Nick O’Leary, who was drafted with the 194th overall pick, landed in the No. 59 spot.

“Charles Clay will get all the attention, but the hard-nosed O'Leary will find ways -- small and large -- of being a contributor,” explained NFL.com.

Rounding out the list for FSU were cornerbacks P.J. Williams (No. 73) of the New Orleans Saints and Ronald Darby (No. 94) of the Buffalo Bills.
