John is the most energetic of them.

Q:Is it right to use them here?
How to rewrite the sentence? Can we use objective pronoun here?

Thank you

It should be so.

You may rewrite it as:
John is the most energetic amomg them.
John is the most energetic of them all.


You can only use an object pronoun here.
