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 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 -- 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 .
- Fashion vision: Fashion is confidence, and confidence is a stain you can't wipe off!
Chad Johnson -- for Duane & Johnson menswear tailoring.
- Fashion vision: Where style outlives the season -- fashion, to me, is making today timeless.
And finally, I am a , 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 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 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 no matter what he's rocking. The star here , 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 -- 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' 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 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 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: (5 points), (4), (4), (4), (4), (4), (3), (3), (2), (2), .
