A May tradition is officially back as I'm happy to announce the beginning of the 2025 edition of my NFL Position Rankings. It's kind of like the Met Gala without the glamour, celebrities or widespread public interest. For those of you who aren't familiar with the series, I like to kill time during the NFL offseason by going through every single position in the league (outside of long snapper and kick/punt returners) and rank the best players at each spot heading into the upcoming season. It's a fun exercise to engage in every year and a fair number of people have told me that they enjoy reading it over the year, so I'll continue to do for as long as this blog exists. Here are a few notes on the series before we officially get started:
1.Rookies are excluded from inclusion.
2.Players are judged on where they currently stand in my opinion, not the player they once were or could potentially go onto be.
3.Each player is listed as a member of the team they're currently rostered by. If they're not on a roster at the time of the post, they'll be listed as a free agent.
As usual, Quarterback is kicking things off. While the top 4 remained unchanged from last year, there was a lot of shuffling and newcomers throughout the rest of the list. Hope you enjoy and I encourage you check to back over the next 8 weeks or so as I unveil the remainder of the series.
Note: Saints QB Derek Carr is currently expected to miss the entirety of the 2025 season with a shoulder injury and has been excluded from the rankings as a result.
