PFF remains a player evaluation site at its core, and the 101 is our chance to acknowledge and praise the best players from the 2025 season one last time before we look ahead to assembling rosters for the upcoming season.
With four of the first 93 picks and clear needs at right tackle and in the secondary, the Rams are positioned to address both immediate concerns and long-term priorities.
Mendoza doesn't have rare physical gifts, but his football IQ, football character and ball placement are top-class, making him worthy of a first-round selection as an early-impact projection and potential franchise quarterback.
Simpson has intriguing NFL traits both as a passer and as an athlete, flashing high-level throws against zone coverage and posting a strong success rate attacking the middle of the field. However, his limited starting experience at the college level shows up in his timing, inconsistent ball placement and uneven performance under pressure. He would […]
Klubnik brings high football character and a pretty passing style as a touch passer, but there’s a good chance he lacks the physical traits or arm talent to be a long-term starter in the pro game. He’ll have to be an assassin in his pre-snap reads and post-snap recognition to be a starter — but […]
Nussmeier brings NFL bloodlines and a polished, foundational approach to the position, traits that fuel his confidence as a vertical pocket passer. However, his average arm strength and below-average stature could create challenges for his aggressive, gunslinging style at the next level.
Altmyer’s physical limitations lower his ceiling in the pros, but due to his high football IQ and how calm he is as a pocket passer with good feel, timing and touch, he presents a good floor as a backup quarterback who could come in and start with moderate success in a pinch.
Allar has the arm talent to play in any offense in the NFL, but he was gun-shy and too inaccurate in 2025. He's a developmental toolsy prospect who needs some time to refine his game.
Beck enters the NFL with a ton of playing experience, clean fundamentals and a good game manager’s mindset. However, his arm talent took a big hit in 2025 after his UCL surgery and could be an unfortunate roadblock to NFL success.
Robertson has NFL-caliber tools (arm strength and overall size), but his inconsistent fundamentals lead to too many inconsistent results and negative plays in his current state. That must be cleaned up before he gets a starting shot in the pros.
In a world where people like to force “the next Taysom Hill” each draft season, Payton actually has the ingredients to potentially be worthy of that comparison. He is a well-above-average athlete for the position and a decent enough passer (lefty) to play as an H-back and even a dropback quarterback in a pinch. However, […]
Pavia will be any team’s fan favorite the moment he is drafted. He is the ultimate underdog and competitor, but his lack of physical abilities will likely not yield much of a chance at quarterback in the NFL — perhaps he can be a utility offensive weapon as a tight end or fullback.
Green is a well-built, athletically gifted prospect whose inconsistent passing will likely hold him back from a shot at a starter role (and maybe even a backup) in the pros. However, he is such a good athlete that a change to tight end or wide receiver could be in the cards.
Some NFL teams will swing for the fences this offseason, while others will be more methodical amid tighter salary-cap situations. Here are some players the latter could target.
Wide receiver Mike Evans, the Buccaneers' all-time leading scorer, will play a 13th season in 2026 with the destination to be determined, his agent, Deryk Gilmore, told ESPN.
We'll see 32 picks in Round 1, but which prospects have actually earned a first-round grade? There are currently 11 in the 2026 class. Here's the updated list.
Left guard Joel Bitonio hasn't announced whether he plans to play in 2026 or not, but he has more time to make that decision before the Browns would face any salary cap ramifications related to his decision.
Longtime assistant coach Wink Martindale interviewed twice in January for the Jets' defensive coordinator position, and a new report says that Martindale heard two different things from head coach Aaron Glenn at those two interviews — perhaps because Jets owner Woody Johnson told Glenn to change his plans for the defense.
Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe was the only player fined for on-field infractions during Super Bowl LX and Jobe picked up a pair of them for unnecessary roughness on one play in the fourth quarter of the game.
On Friday, the NFL Players Association fired long-time security officer Craig Jones, whose eloquent email challenging the state of union leadership emerged last year, during the quickly-unfolding turmoil that resulted in the abrupt resignation of NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell.
The Browns hired Mike Rutenberg as their defensive coordinator this week and Rutenberg got a rave review from Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich on his way out the door in Atlanta.
