Nyle DiMarco is quite possibly the No. 1 Male Model of 2016. This 6' 2" specimen from Queens, NY made history twice as the first deaf winner of The CW’s "American Next Top Model" Cycle 22 in 2015 and the first deaf Mirror Ball Champion of ABC’s "Dancing With the Stars" Season 23 in 2016. Since seeing him performing the National Anthem at Game 3 of the NBA Finals (video here) I have compiled a negotiable list of 2016’s Top 11 Male Models.

1. Nyle DiMarco (Obviously he earned it)

This Queen’s native can thank his smoldering looks for his success. However, this model and actor has made great waves as a deaf activist that plans to education the world on the importance of acknowledging and understanding the deaf community. Nyle has been casted as the lead in the Independent Film "In the Can" and as Garet on ABC’S Family’s "Switched at Birth." We hope to see more from Nyle.

2. Tyson Beckford

Bronx native once named People magazine’s 50 most beautiful people. This model has been employed by Herb Ritts, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein. He has also done some cameo appearances in music video’s like Britney Spears’s iconic music video “Toxic.” But he is most notable for being the first black male model to be named the face of Ralph Lauren.

3. Brad Kroenig

Karl Lagerfeld (German fashion designer and creative director of Chanel and Fendi) adopted Brad Kroenig in 2003 where he was modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch. This male model has been modeling for Fendi and Chanel since 2003 and even inspired Chanel and Fendi’s head designer to produce "Metamorphoses of an American," a book about Brad’s rise in the fashion industry.

4. David Agbodji

David Agbodji is the first black male model to headline a campaign for Calvin Klein breaking barriers in the fashion industry.

5. Jamie Dornan

Before he was Christian Grey, he was just Jamie Dornan one of the world’s biggest male models with a long partnership with Calvin Klein.

6. Paolo Roldan

The Muse to Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci and menswear buyer for the Toronto store Nomad, Paolo Roldan has been a prominent model for Givenchy’s brand.

7. Tobias Sorensen

This Danish model and popular social media socialite has modeled for Diesel, Zara, D&G, and Antony Morato.

8. Tyson Ballou

This Texan has been modeling since the age of 15, now 37, he has appeared in campaigns for H&M, D&G, Salvatore Ferragamo, Calvin Klein, and Jil Sander. He has been noted as being one of the highest-paid models in the industry.

9. Alessio Pozzi

This Italian heartthrob debuted in the fashion industry during 2014's Dolce & Gabbana and Givenchy Fashion show. This young model is setting the scene with D&G, Givenchy, and Versace appearances. He is a MUST watch.

10. Benjamin Eidem

He has modeled for Prada, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, and Margaret Howell. Keep a look out for this mans face on Michael Kors Extreme Blue Fragrance this year.

11. Lucky Blue Smith

This young man was voted by the industry and viewers as the Model of the Year in 2015. He has modeled for many such as Calvin Klein, Vogue and GQ.
