For the age-25 threshold, we list the top 25 players in the NFL under the age of 25. We soon learn that quite a lot of the elite players in the league are youngsters.
25. Brandon Linder, OG Jaguars
Believe it or not, there was a stud on an otherwise abysmal Jaguars offense. The little known rookie was actually Pro Football Focus’s No. 10 ranked guard.
24. Timmy Jernigan, DE Ravens
Super potential rookie who filled in admirably for Haloti Ngata last season. With Ngata ousted from the Ravens, Jernigan will now replace Ngata full time and develop into a star of his own.
23. Jeremy Hill, RB Bengals
The lead back for one of the NFL’s top 1-2 punches at running back amassed 1,300+ yards from scrimmage and 9 touchdowns in 2014. Hill looks to have an even bigger role in 2015.
22. Teddy Bridgewater, QB Vikings
Bridgewater didn’t have the flashiest stats (he finished 2014 with a paltry 14 touchdowns), but he improved tremendously over the course of the season. Possessing incredible poise under pressure, an ever improving deep ball, and an already seasoned intermediate game, its no wonder Vikings fans are excited for what the future holds.
21. Lamar Miller, RB Dolphins
Knowshon who? After Moreno went down, Miller took the reins and never looked back en route to 1,099 yards and 8 touchdowns on 5.1 yards a carry.
