In our Week 3 installment of The Fit Files: NFL’s Five Best-Dressed , defensive players ran the NFL tunnel runway for the first time this season, led by edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, whose last-minute outfit pivot turned gold. This week, two of the NFL’s best defenders topped the list, including a star pass rusher who owned the spotlight here even if he had to settle for a tie in a would-be revenge game against his former team.
Before we dig in, here’s a quick refresher on the members of our panel:
Terron Armstead — Former five-time Pro Bowl left tackle for the Saints and Dolphins (2013-2024); currently hosts The Set podcast on YouTube bi-weekly on Monday/Thursday night.
Fashion vision: Fashion is our daily “first impression.” It’s our non-verbal expression, so I use it as the first line of communication.
Jamie Erdahl — Host of Good Morning Football on NFL Network and the nationally syndicated show GMFB OT.
Fashion vision: Designer sweatshirts take the cake.
Jason McCourty — Super Bowl champion and former cornerback for the Titans, Browns, Patriots and Dolphins (2009-2021); current ESPN studio analyst/CBS game analyst.
Fashion vision: Fashion is confidence, and confidence is a stain you can’t wipe off!
Chad Johnson — Custom clothier and designer for Duane & Johnson menswear tailoring.
Fashion vision: Where style outlives the season — fashion, to me, is making today timeless.
And finally, I am a national TV reporter for NFL Network, and my fashion vision is: Dress how you want to be addressed and wear what helps you exude, “I’m HIM.”
A NOTE ON METHODOLOGY: Panelists voted on a list of fits shown off before games from Thursday through Monday, with five points being assigned to each first-place vote, four-points being assigned to each second-place vote, and so on. For players who have previously earned votes, we will list their season point total and mark any prior top-five finishes.
Here, presented in reverse order, are the winners from Week 4:
Our awesome panelist Jamie Erdahl spent the week in Dublin working as NFL Network’s sideline reporter for the Vikings’ loss to the Steelers. But she made it clear that Jefferson took no losses overseas in the fashion game with this unique, on-brand fit:
