Last year’s third-round pick got plenty of reps as a rookie. Targets on the offensive rotation were in short supply throughout the campaign, but this experience should serve him well. Even so, McCaffrey cannot take his foot off the gas in pursuit of carving out a bigger role for himself in 2025.

One could even make a strong case for his physical prowess being more impressive, which could lead to surging above the former Rice standout on the depth chart and as a kick returner.
