In fact, the list of great, parlokik, gold jacket-based NFL players is low. But the list of really good current players is prolonged, and sometimes due to age or situation, the lines between great and good are blurred to legends on fall.
So 2025 NFL Rank Project The top 100 players of the league have a healthy batch of snobs.
ESPN’s NFL experts evaluated players based on the expectations of performance for 2025 season compared to their comrades. This project came about a month after putting a bow over us Annual Top 10s ProjectIn which NFL officials, coaches and scouts ranked top players in every situation entering 2025.
The review of two ranking shows a lot of similarities in the order of each position – and a whole group of differences. We asked the evalurators of the league personnel to peep into their rankings and nominate the players who were eligible to join, but were not.
Joe AltLT, Los angeles chargers
The premiere is difficult to crack at the aggressive tackle club, but the Alt is knocking on the door.
Playing from the right side as a crook, the Alt of the Tackle was ranked fourth in the pass-rash win rate (94.3%). This year, the left tackle due to Alt Rushvan SlaterSeason-ending leg injury. League evaluators believe that he can handle the switch – and resulting in an emergence. He is reversing at the age of 22.
An AFC executive said, “He is already technically sound and hard and smart and he is still growing in his body.”
Jonathan GreenardEdge, Minnesota Vikings
The Greenard is making a compelling case to join the Pantian of the Top Edge Rasters. In the last two sessions, his 24.5 sacks are ranked seventh in NFL. His 19.8% pass-Rash winning rate was ranked in the top 10 between the Rasters in 2024, during which he added four forced Fambles. And the word out of Minnesota He has been infallible many times During the camp, he has been planning to add his 33 tackle to mass damage since 2023.
An execution of NFC said, “He has really found a good arsenal of high motor and pass-rich tricks.” “He is in his head. Are really good players.”
Vita viaDT, Tampa bay bouquaneers
VEA can be reduced in national conversation but not inside the league. He is a true game-visit.
An aggressive NFL coach said, “When you play Tampa, he is the first man.” “He may dominate the run game and is a more close crowd than the credit given for it.”
The VEA produced a career-high seven bags, stopping the run effectively. He had 10 tackles for loss, but several times fell into coverage – in 347 pounds. League executed, coaches and scouts voted for him to the internal defensive lineman of number 9 in NFL.
Devonta SmithWR, Philadelphia eagles
Even coming out of a down year, Smith is almost always in the conversation of the top -10 wide receiver … although he was not one of the 15 wideouts (or 10 eagles) nominated for the top 100 of this season. He plays for a run-well crime and plays the role of number 2. AJ BrownNevertheless, in its first four sessions, more than 1,000 yards per year is-and it is with the disappearance of five games since 2023.
When Brown recalled the initial season’s action last year, Smith gave 14 catches, 155 yards and a touchdown in the week 2-3. He is a classic i-test, football-pomp-no receiver, the kind of player transcripts the numbers.
An NFC executive officer said, “The great root-raetar, super smooth with great body control, high cruising speed so it always makes it difficult for defense.”
Nanmdi MadubuikDT, Baltimore Ravens
While the production of Madubuic was submerged – 6.5 sacks in 2024 compared to 13 – it is always a mismatch for aggressive linemen due to a combination of strength and speed. The evaluators expect a better 2025 campaign for a more complete bucket defense intact for a second season under the coordinator Zach ORR. He has been a top-seven interior in the back-to-back years.
NFC Scout said, “It is the type of lower body explosion that you can teach.” “I am expecting a good year for him.”
Cook was running back to the top 10 rankings of officers, scouts and coaches in ESPN’s top 10 rankings-and seven backs made the top 100 of this year. He is going on a back-to-back Pro Bowls and 1,000-yard season. And he is playing at an extension of four years, $ 46 million this year. He is a well -established in his head (25 years old), whose profile must only increase. Yes, it should be in the top 100.
As a person of a person of AFC, he is perfect for that crime due to his versatility in running and passing games. “” He is the focal point of that crime from a skill status point of view. “
Brian BurnsEdge, New York Giants
Burns is continuously very good, but to do so, the skills rarely reach greatness despite sets. He has a double -digit sack season in six years.
But more production may be in the way. He finished fourth at the pass-rash winning rate in the last season (23.0), and should do each other with more support in the system of veterans. Burns is 27, square in its head.
“If Abdul (Carter) As good as he is expecting, as well as Dexter laurence, [Burns] An NFC Scout said, “There will be a lot of opportunities each.
Jayasi hornCB, Carolina Panthers
Finally a healthy horn-which is the only panther in the top 100 if chosen-is emerging as one of the best all-round corners of the game. It is a rare corner that can play man coverage when inside the box or with the materiality of safety. His 68 tackles (five for los), two sacks and 13 pass deflections helped them to secure an extension of four years, $ 100 million.
“I really feel that he has a special player and a chance to have a face of that franchise,” said a high ranked NFL personnel person. “That is what you want.”
Jalan RamseyCB, Pittsburg steelers
Ramsays surprisingly slipped out of our top 10 cornerback list in July, but Pittsburgh believes that he has a lot left in the tank at the age of 30. Once the gold standard in the corner, Ramse still plays with liquidity and speed which is rare for 6 -foot -1 corner.
Some people inside the league are expecting a resurrection of ramsay after a business from Miami from Miami to Pittsburgh in 2025, which seems to revive her.
A personnel director of NFL said, “He can exclude his reception,” referring to the previous stop of Ramsay with Jaguar, Ram and Dolphin, none of which lasted more than three and a half years. “But when he is inspired and closed inside, he is still really good.”
The versatility of Ramsey will increase the secondary of Pittsburgh. Steellers used it throughout the ground at the training camp, which included a slot as a corner, the corner and out of security.
Decorust baknerDT, Indianapolis colts
One of the lowest players of the game, Bakner – one of the three DTs on the snobs, after the last 100, has made the top 100 – producing. Despite disappearing in five matches last year, Bakner has an average of 0.54 sacks per game since 2020. The colts still begin with the defensive attack and stop with Bakner, whose 16.4 pass-Rash win was the best for the defensive tackle.
“He reminds me of a lot Kallis Campbell“6 -Foot -7 Bakner’s NFL personnel assessor said.” Long, high motor and your 30s can play well in the 30s. ,
