2025 NFL season: One rookie from every team who could surprise

Other intriguing prospects include LaJohntay Wester for the Ravens as a returner, and Landon Jackson for the Bills, who may step into a prominent role on the defensive line. The competition is fierce across the league, with several players positioned to outshine expectations and secure vital roles on their teams.

Arizona Cardinals' biggest surprise of offseason program revealed

The Arizona Cardinals' offseason has seen some surprising developments, particularly from rookie linebacker Cody Simon, their fourth-round pick from Ohio State. While much attention was directed at Marvin Harrison Jr.'s physical transformation, Simon has captured the interest of head coach Jonathan Gannon, who has praised Simon's quick learning abilities and eagerness to adapt. Wearing the green dot signifies his readiness for leadership on the field, a role typically occupied by more experienced players.

Gannon noted, "He's definitely flashed here. We got him playing a couple different spots, so that's good. He is playing on fourth down right now, so he is learning all that. He doesn't make mistakes twice and he's got juice." With the competition for starting inside linebacker positions heating up against veterans like Mack Wilson and Akeem Davis-Gaither, Simon’s progress will be a focal point as the team prepares for training camp.

What does the Cardinals' linebacker depth chart look like heading into training camp?What are the key factors influencing a rookie's transition to the NFL?How critical is a linebacker’s communication on the field?What will be the biggest tests for rookies like Simon in their first season?

Quinshon Judkins: Rising NFL Star with Workhorse Upside for 2025

Quinshon Judkins, the dynamic running back from Ohio State, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns as the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He currently has an ADP of 74.3, placing him at the start of the seventh round in fantasy drafts. While often labeled as a power back, Judkins possesses a complete skill set, showcasing both explosiveness and a knack for breaking tackles. His collegiate stats include an impressive catch rate of 81.9% with 59 receptions for 442 yards and 5 touchdowns, indicating potential for significant usage in the passing game.

Despite a modest 5.1 yards per carry average during college, his performance was hampered by injury and a heavy reliance on short-yardage situations. Judkins ran a solid 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, reinforcing his status as an explosive athlete. His size, coupled with his speed and tackle-breaking ability, presents an exciting prospect for his role in the NFL, particularly if he can expand his pass-catching duties.

Day 3 draft pick is most likely rookie starter for Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals' 2025 NFL draft class aims to make an impact, with defensive lineman Walter Nolen and cornerback Will Johnson leading expectations. However, linebacker Cody Simon, a fourth-round pick, presents the most opportunity for early contributions. Simon is in contention for the starting 'Mike' inside linebacker position, vacated by Kyzir White. The Cardinals have added Akeem Davis-Gaither and Mykal Walker, yet both lack significant starting experience. Simon’s leadership at Ohio State might just secure him a crucial role in the Cardinals' defense.

What should fantasy players know about the Cardinals' linebacker situation?Are there any players on the Cardinals' roster worth drafting?
