2025 NFL bold predictions: Potential surprises for 32 teams

We are back for our annual edition of preseason surprise predictions -- one for each of the 32 NFL teams ahead of the 2025 season.

It's an odd concept, of course, because if we could predict these things then they shouldn't really be surprises. But the idea is to collect some of the information I've been gathering around the league throughout training camp and present a potential surprise that may or may not have been on your radar as a fan. We hit potential stat leaders, under-the-radar teams, award candidates, sleeper players to watch and position groups that might look better (or worse) than expected.
