Top Five Rookies to Look Out for in the NFL's 2024-25 Season

Jayden Daniels fits well with the Commanders thanks to his solid athleticism and high-level mobility in the game. His strengths are considerably needed in Washington’s roster, and his offensive philosophy of throwing efficiency is gonna give him the opportunities he needs to shine bright on the big stage. Playing alongside effective receivers in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. will surely help him thrive as a long-ball thrower, which makes the Commanders a fun team to watch with a squad full of youngsters. Considering the fact that he will be under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, an experienced expert who is known well for building the early years of Patrick Mahomes, Daniels’ future is definitely brighter than ever.

A cornerback selected in the fourth round, Khyree Jackson proved to be one of the biggest steals in the draft considering how he was compared a lot to Xavien Howard. His massive wingspan, athletic playstyle, and highly physical defensive expertise has made him a suffocating defender to play against. Considering the fact that the Vikings have one of the best defenses in the league, it cannot be denied that Jackson fits well and will have a promising development moving forward. There’s also the Brian Flores effect, who is great at helping defenders maximize their skill set, and having Jackson work with him will definitely give the Vikings a defensive phenom in the making.

By the end of the Tyreek Hill era in Kansas City, the squad has gained a lot of reputation for Andy Reid’s retooling of the team into a small-ball squad – leading to back-to-back super bowls. Bringing in Xavier Worthy into the mix will see the long launches that Patrick Mahomes used to come up with back in the day. For starters, Mahomes is known well for being one of the most efficient bazooka passers in the game, but Worthy – a 4.21 speed player, can be the biggest boost that the team needs if they are going to become one of the best offensive-oriented squads with Mahomes at the helm. Worthy has to live up to the expectations and deliver when it matters.

With Jordan Poyer gone, the Buffalo Bills are in dire need of a new safety that will take over on the defensive side. Still, a do-it-all rookie in Cole Bishop may just be the perfect fit in that spot, considering how well he served as Utah’s defensive anchor at an efficient level. His young age and yet versatile skill set on the defensive side make him a promising defender that will help the Bills retool their squad’s needs. Bishop offers explosiveness, speedy recovery on defensive chases, and impressive body control when it matters most. There’s no denying that Bishop is even slated to become a rising star in just a quick span of time.
