The best player in the NFL could be a fullback, but his impact on the game is no where near as high as even an above average WR. What I would gauge it on is how much better are you than your peers at that specific position.
I think you can make a case for Aaron Donald, Michael Thomas, Patrick Mahomes, or Stephon Gilmore.
It is simply our bias showing, yet again. Sports fandom is so interesting and such an amazing display of unchecked bias.

As of right now Mahomes is the best QB in football, and what he does at his position is superior to what everyone else does at theirs. Right now he is the best player in football.
Now......can he stay there, only time will tell.
I have no problems....Don Hutson, Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Patrick Mahomes.
