As the NFL moves past the 2024 regular season, discussions about the 2025 season are already underway. Emerging talents among first-round quarterbacks such as Michael Penix Jr., Caleb Williams, and J.J. McCarthy are expected to perform strongly next year. The early 2025 NFL Draft season is highlighted by tools like PFF's Mock Draft Simulator, showcasing top prospects for fans to engage with.

In particular, rising stars like Tykee Smith, who secured a notable 90.3 PFF run-defense grade, are also making headlines. On the Arizona Cardinals front, EDGE BJ Ojulari is set to be a key player following a torn ACL that sidelined him throughout 2024. With the Cardinals' struggles in pass-rush evident, his return is highly anticipated for the 2025 season.
