'''''NFL Top 10''''' is a [[documentary]] program produced by [[NFL Films]] for airing on the [[NFL Network]]. The host and narrator is [[Derrin Horton]].


The program counts down 10 items directly related to the players, coaches, and events of the [[National Football League]]. Throughout segments on each selection, a wide variety of personalities weigh in on the list. They include former and current NFL players, coaches, national and local sports analysts, and journalists, among others. In addition, multiple celebrity guests have appeared on the show, such as [[David_Copperfield_(illusionist)|David Copperfield]], [[Richard Simmons]], and the [[Sklar Brothers]]. Reruns show on weekdays, while new episodes air on Friday nights. It also fills time in markets on an alternate feed where game coverage (usually in the pre-season) is [[blackout (broadcasting)|blacked out]] in deference to a local broadcast station's coverage of that game.

Latest revision as of 14:27, 30 November 2024

NFL Top 10 is a documentary program produced by NFL Films for airing on the NFL Network. The host and narrator is Derrin Horton.

The program counts down 10 items directly related to the players, coaches, and events of the National Football League. Throughout segments on each selection, a wide variety of personalities weigh in on the list. They include former and current NFL players, coaches, national and local sports analysts, and journalists, among others. In addition, multiple celebrity guests have appeared on the show, such as David Copperfield, Richard Simmons, and the Sklar Brothers. Reruns show on weekdays, while new episodes air on Friday nights. It also fills time in markets on an alternate feed where game coverage (usually in the pre-season) is blacked out in deference to a local broadcast station's coverage of that game. The last episode aired January 8, 2019.[citation needed]

In February 2024, the NFL released "NFL Top 10" videos to recap the 2023 season.[1]
