The 50 best players in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season

by Alex Carter - Sports Editor

48. WR MIKE EVANS, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Mike Evans achieved a remarkable 11th consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024, securing the milestone on his final catch of the regular season. At 31 years old, he recorded his second-highest career receiving grade at 90.2. Evans also demonstrated continued prowess in contested situations, with a 63.2% contested catch rate, marking his seventh consecutive season above 50% in this category. With quarterback Baker Mayfield and a notable portion of the offense returning, Evans is expected to remain the Buccaneers’ primary wide receiver and has a strong chance to extend his streak to 12 seasons, provided he stays healthy.

49. RB JOSH JACOBS,GREEN BAY PACKERS

Over the last three seasons, Josh Jacobs’ 93.0 rushing grade ranks second among NFL running backs, trailing onyl Derrick Henry. In 2024, he posted a 91.3 rushing grade and an 89.2 receiving grade, solidifying his position as one of the league’s most versatile backs. In the past four years, Jacobs also ranks fourth at his position in PFF WAR with a 0.58 mark. He consistently serves as a reliable offensive contributor, whether as the primary ball carrier or in a complementary role.

50. QB JALEN HURTS, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Jalen Hurts exhibited moments of inconsistency during the Eagles’ Super Bowl contention, accumulating 22 big-time throws and 19 turnover-worthy plays across the regular season and playoffs. However, he delivered crucial performances when it mattered most. He achieved a 91.5 passing grade in the NFC Championship Game and followed it with a 78.7 grade in the Super Bowl, where he recorded four big-time throws. In those final two postseason contests, Hurts registered seven big-time throws against only one turnover-worthy play.
