Best Players Under The Age Of 25

Youth is a precious resource in the NFL. The game too violent. Bodies too smashed up. Young bones and tendons on cheap contracts are integral to building a vital NFL team.

ESPN’s Insiders (ooooooo) took a look at the best players in the NFL under the age of 25. In this quest of theirs they removed Patrick Mahomes from the list so it wouldn’t become a Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan type of thing. Their insiders picked a combination of Myles Garrett, Deshaun Watson, Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliot, Saquon Barkley, and Derwin James.

This is what Mike Clay, who also made the case for Watson to be the best fantasy quarterback in 2019, had to say about him.
