Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon got the most points in a given week of any player this season, proving king in our Week 7 installment of The Fit Files: NFL's Five Best-Dressed. This week's contest was, by contrast, much closer, with some of the league's biggest stars at QB, WR and RB vying for the top spot.
Before we dig in, here's a quick refresher of the members on 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.
Ini Sebastian Ikpe -- Leading celebrity stylist and image consultant known for his work in sports and entertainment.
- Fashion vision: Styling is more than dressing. It's about crafting a narrative that reflects identity, commands presence and sparks conversation. Dress accordingly.
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.
Before we get to this week's winners, I wanted to call out this DeAndre Hopkins fit, which the receiver and NFL Fashion Editor Kyle Smith put together on a budget:
Make sure you check out the full video of how they pulled it off.
And now, on to the best-dressed from Week 8, listed in reverse order:
T-5) Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers
Points: 6
Johnson says "this works perfectly; well-balanced look, perfect tones, put together with the right layering and fit." It's a good mix of leather, denim and flannel, presenting a strong Americana style.
T-5) Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Points: 6 | Season point total: 31
One thing about Justin Jefferson -- you're going to see him shining diamonds no matter what he's rocking. The star here is the jacket, which looks like it produces flashing lights when it hits the camera. Pair the jacket with Jefferson's busted-down diamond Oakley sunglasses, and he lands in our top five for the third time this season.
4) CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys
Points: 9 | Season point total: 11
Ikpe described Lamb's look as "fashion runway meets vintage Chanel." This all-white tunnel fit -- from the smooth texture of the shirt to the shoes -- must have been what Outkast was thinking about when they dropped So Fresh, So Clean.
3) Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
Points: 10 | Season point total: 17
Hurts' monochromatic, strong fit exemplifies how a statement color -- worn and fit the right way -- can exceed flashy designs. It matches Hurts' personality well, and it's eye-popping.
Ikpe, who voted Hurts No. 1 this week, describes this fit as a "walking master class in tonal execution" and "leadership in color."
2) DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Points: 11 | Season point total: 47
This fall, three-piece bespoke suit from Brian Alexander is just as much first-pew Sunday-service clean as it is dominating NFL runways. We've seen Smith star with bold colors; the detail that comes in a more subtle pattern here is a sign of his versatility.
1) Kendrick Bourne, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Points: 12 | Season point total: 14
This double-breasted blue and red pinstripe suit from Pharoah Kirk is as bold as Bourne's personality. The details, from the wide lapels to the black boots, make it a perfect fit.
Armstead, who voted Bourne No.1, said it was the clear top option this week. Ikpe describes it as "rock star in a suit, if Lenny Kravitz designed for Saint Laurent."
Just missed the cut: Mike Sainristil (5 points), Davon Godchaux (4), Mack Hollins (4), DeAndre Hopkins (4), Darrell Luter Jr. (4), Charles Omenihu (4), Darrell Baker Jr. (3), Stefon Diggs (3), Jordan Battle (2), Jaxson Dart (2), Olamide Zaccheaus.
