Second-year NFL players are on the brink of redemption as they look to turn around rocky rookie seasons. The Chicago Bears' Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick, faces pressure to evolve under new head coach Ben Johnson, especially after a league-high 68 sacks last season. Meanwhile, Arizona Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr. aims to break free from expectations after a solid but unspectacular rookie year, relying on improved chemistry with Kyler Murray.

Other players like Darius Robinson and Tyler Guyton are also under the spotlight, needing to justify their draft status by contributing to their teams' defensive and offensive lines. The Carolina Panthers’ Xavier Legette, despite a disappointing rookie season, looks to regain focus with the addition of a more balanced receiving corps.
