Ravens to watch: Why these seven under-the-radar players could surprise in 2025
We're looking at seven lesser-known Baltimore Ravens who could have a breakout season in 2025 The 2025 NFL offseason was a success for the Baltimore Ravens team, still looking to reach its first Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson as the quarterback. Baltimore wasn't overly active during NFL free agency. Still, the team added a future Hall of Fame wide receiver to the passing game, a versatile linebacker to the special teams, and a Pro Bowl cornerback on the final day of minicamp. Baltimore lost five key contributors or starters in free agency, and the team remains amid a Super Bowl window and has restocked the roster with 11 draft picks in April. The Ravens landed Malaki Starks in the first round and secured Mike Green after he slipped to Round 2. With training camp now one month away, we're looking at seven under-the-radar Ravens who could have a breakout season. Edge Rusher Adisa Isaac Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh are the unquestioned starters, but the Ravens are hoping 2024 third-round pick Adisa Isaac can take the next step. Isaac saw action in four games and played 32 defensive snaps, as his NFL debut was delayed by a hamstring issue, which sidelined him for the Ravens' first two games. RB Keaton Mitchell Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell says he feels better than he did three years ago. As a rookie, Mitchell led all running backs with at least a dozen attempts in yards per carry (8.4 avg), and he has set personal records in all of his speed tracking analytics this offseason. DB T.J. Tampa Tampa only played seven games in his 2024 rookie campaign season. Hampered by an ankle injury that plagued him since Oct. 24, the former Iowa State star couldn't contribute in his first year, but he offers height, length, speed, and physicality. OL Daniel Faalele After moving from offensive tackle to offensive guard, Faalele was named a Pro Bowl alternate after surrendering one sack and 30 pressures in 504 pass-blocking opportunities last season. An off-season working out with Ronnie Stanley should allow Faalele to take the next steps as a run blocker. OL Andrew Voorhees Vorhees was the initial starter at left guard in 2024 before suffering an injury and getting benched in favor of Patrick Mekari for Weeks 4 and 5, before the move was made permanent. The former USC star should get the nod heading into training camp. OLB Tavius Robinson The former Ole Miss pass rusher had 3.5 sacks and 12 QB hits in a reserve role last season. DB Beau Brade Last summer, Brade made the Ravens' 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie free agent after starring at River Hill High School and the University of Maryland. In the games he appeared in, Brade was mainly relegated to special teams roles and only saw the field on defense late in the fourth quarter of games where victory was well in hand. Braden recorded just three total tackles, including just one solo, and played 207 snaps on special teams compared to just 11 on defense. He was inactive for both playoff games. DB Sanoussi Kane Kane is a thumper who also stood out on defense in the preseason. According to Pro Football Focus, he did not allow a single reception on 30 coverage snaps, produced a coverage grade of 73.4, and recorded a forced incompletion and a tackle for loss.

Rams WR Davante Adams could move up these all-time NFL lists
Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams heads into his 12th NFL season as one of the best players at his position. He's caught 957 receptions for 11,844 yards and 103 touchdowns in 164 career games. Adams will undoubtable add to those totals in L.A. with Matthew Stafford as his quarterback, even with Puka Nacua alongside him. Sean McVay loves his receivers and Adams might be the best one he's ever coached. It would certainly explain the coach's aggressive pursuit of Adams this offseason. Heading into the 2025 season, Adams ranks 20th in receptions, 33rd in receiving yards and 10th in receiving touchdowns. If he reaches his season-long averages, Adams will move up in all three categories. How far, though, remains up to him and the Rams. Adams needs just 14 receptions to move into 19th place ahead of Brandon Marshall. That seems like a lock unless Adams gets injured very early in the season. Adams also needs just 43 to break 1,000 career receptions, which only 15 other receivers have done. If Adams reaches his 89-catch average, though, he could rise to as high as No. 12 — Andre Johnson. And if Adams sets a career-high mark of at least 123 receptions (which he last did in 2020), he could push to as high as No. 8 ahead of Terrell Owens' 1078 receptions. Three active players who could shake up where Adams lands at the end of the season in career receptions: Keenan Allen (No. 18, 974), DeAndre Hopkins (No. 16, 984) and Travis Kelce (No. 14, 1004). All three are ahead of Adams and only Allen isn't on a roster at the moment. Adams can make a big leap in the all-time receiving yards record book. His 11,844 yards rank No. 33 in NFL history, and if he breaks his 1,077-yard seasonal average for his career, Adams would move up to No. 22. However, he'd once again be contending with Hopkins, who sits at No. 21 at 12,965. The other two active players on the list (Kelce at No. 28 and Mike Evans at No. 24) are less than 1,000 yards ahead of him, but would need very poor seasons to drop. The final major stat Adams could move up on the all-time list is receiving touchdowns. His 103 ranks No. 10 in league history, but there isn't a lot of room for improvement on that spot in 2025. Evans sits two touchdowns ahead of Adams at No. 9 with 105, while Tony Gonzalez's 111 career scores is No. 8. Adams averages nine touchdowns per season, meaning the highest he could climb is No. 8 if he can outpace Evans by at least two touchdowns. Adams would need 13 scores to move to No. 7, ahead of Antonio Games. He's only done that once in his career (2020 with the Packers). There is a lot of opportunity for Adams to eat in his Rams offense. And while the ultimate goal is a Super Bowl, moving up some record books is a nice consolation prize for the legendary pass-catcher.

Ranking the top 10 players on the Carolina Panthers roster ahead of the 2025 season
A busy but exciting offseason has helped push the construction of the Carolina Panthers forward. While no one would consider them as actual Super Bowl contenders, at least not at the moment, there should be little doubt that the team and its roster are better off now than they were this time a year ago. So, what does this improved group have to offer? Who are the lead dogs (or cats) in this ascending bunch? Here are our top 10 players on the Panthers roster as we head towards the 2025 season . . . 10. DL Tershawn Wharton The Panthers may have missed out on Milton Williams, the top prize of this year's free-agency period. But their "consolation" prize isn't too shabby either. Soon after Williams shifted to New England, Carolina pivoted and signed Wharton to a three-year, $45 million pact. The 6-foot-1, 280-pounder spent each of his prior five NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he displayed continuous growth as a defender. Wharton's strength is as a pass rusher, as he can use his natural leverage and low center of gravity to explode and bull rush opposing blockers. He's also quick and agile for his size and shows quality flashes as a run defender. If that specific aspect takes the next step under defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, the two-time Super Bowl champion could end up being a terrific investment for the Panthers. 9. LT Ikem Ekwonu Ekwonu, who shined as a rookie in 2022, took a bit of a step back during his sophomore campaign. That regression, however, was a distant memory following his work this past season under new offensive line coach Joe Gilbert. The former sixth overall pick showed considerable improvement in 2024, as he seemed more urgent in his pass sets and in his strikes at defenders. Although he did struggle with an occasional speed rush and was sometimes prone to the inside move, Ekwonu proved he could be a reliable pass protector on the blindside. When you mix that development in with his elite presence as a run blocker, you might have yourself one of the most potent hog mollies in the game. 8. S Tre'Von Moehrig One of the biggest needs this offseason, and even still to this point, has been the safety position. But general manager Dan Morgan and company took a nice step towards addressing it with the signing of Moehrig. Moehrig will be a chess piece for the defense, as he can be an effective coverage defender at the single-high spot, roll down to the box or mug a gap to take on blockers on the point of attack and stifle the run. Overall, he's a great athlete with high football intelligence. 7. LG Damien Lewis Lewis, one of the two major additions from 2024, is a player who has progressed with each season—dating back to his time in Seattle. His power is often on display. When he gets grips on opposing rushers, he sits and anchors down to stall their rushes. The 6-foot-2, 327-pounder should continue to be a key piece in this maturing offense. 6. RT Taylor Moton Carolina's Mr. Consistent, Moton has remained one of the 10 best right tackles in the game. He'll rarely miss a rep, and has proven to be an above-average blocker both in the passing and running games. Moton did, however, uncharacteristically miss a little chunk of time in 2024. So a healthy 2025 campaign may result in a longer stay for the 30-year-old, who is entering the final season of his contract. 5. QB Bryce Young It might be bold to list Young as a top-five player on the roster, especially after a nightmarish start to the 2024 season. But his 10-game stretch to end the campaign showed he can be a franchise quarterback. His poise, pocket navigation skills, accuracy and elite anticipation were on display in some big moments, despite a below-average crop of skill players at his disposal. With another year under head coach Dave Canales and the addition of eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, Young's arrow is pointing up. 4. RB Chuba Hubbard Hubbard struggled to find his fit over the first few years of his NFL career. But he has since grown into one of the better rushers in the NFL—as evidenced by his 1,195-yard, 10-touchdown offering in 2024. He has turned his vision, once a weakness, into a strength. Hubbard also has great contact balance and power to go along with his explosiveness and aggression. 3. RG Robert Hunt Hunt is the tone-setter of the offense. He's proved to be one of the best free-agent additions in recent franchise history, becoming a pillar for the Panthers and a first-time Pro Bowler right out of the chute. The 6-foot-6, 323-pounder is reliable and a complete mauler in the trenches, with stunning power in his hands and frame. He's great on the move and defenders have very little answers for him in his pass sets and as a run blocker. He held his own and won several key matchups late in the season against the likes of Kansas City's Chris Jones and Philadelphia's Jalen Carter, establishing himself as one of the better right guards in the sport. 2. CB Jaycee Horn After multiple injuries set him back during the first three years of his pro career, Horn stayed present by appearing in a career-high 15 contests in 2024. It is clear that when he maintains his health, he is one of the better corners in the NFL, and a franchise cornerstone in the secondary. Horn, who received a four-year, $100 million extension this offseason, is a high-end press defender with exceptional spacing and awareness. That combination results in shutting down massive chunks of the field, like the best are able to do. Another healthy year could catapult the first-time Pro Bowler into All-Pro consideration. 1. DL Derrick Brown Brown may have been out for 16 of Carolina's 17 games in 2024, but his absence proved his worth. Without him, the Panthers allowed the most rushing yards per game (179.8) and the most points (534) in league history. He is one of the best run-defending interior linemen in the game, and arguably a top-five player at his position. What Brown does bring is phenomenal gap integrity, sensational power at the point of attack and consistent pressure as a pass rusher. He can take over at times and shut down opposing run games completely, as shown during his historic 103-tackle season in 2023. The Panthers will be happy to have him back on a defense that will look to make a significant improvement in 2025. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
