one or ones in superlative?
In a superlative sentence, I know we can say "He is one of the most (adjective)".
If there are more than one person I want to mention, is it OK to say "They are ones of the most (adjective)"?
If there are more than one person I want to mention, is it OK to say "They are ones of the most (adjective)"?

Mr M is right. Satokos should say something like: They are some of the best football players.

I created two sentences as these:
"Money is one of the most important things in life."
"Love and health are ones of the most important things in life."
In the second case, I should say "some" instead of "ones", is that right?
"Money is one of the most important things in life."
"Love and health are ones of the most important things in life."
