There have been a few lists regarding the best NFL players under 25 years old. Here are a few more from that age group who aren’t getting enough attention.

No doubt, if you are an NFL fan and you’re craving any kind of news or information in reference to your team, you have stumbled upon one of these pieces in recent weeks by a variety of sites. Ranking players based on various criteria is very subjective but it often makes for good conversation.

The hot topic the last few weeks has regarded the younger generation when it comes to the league. And that would include FanSided and its edition of: The top 25 NFL players under the age of 25.

Despite the fact that there’s an age requirement when it comes to assignments such as the following (for the choices, not the author, who had a hand in the FanSided piece), it’s never easy paring down so many talented players to a relatively short list. Hence, featured here are 10 more players that did not crack the original 25, including three running backs, three linebackers, two wide receivers, one defensive end and one impressive safety.

Speaking of linebackers, why isn’t an impressive performer like Atlanta Falcons’ three-year pro Deion Jones on this list of unsung youngsters? The selections here are all players who have yet to be named to a Pro Bowl and the talented linebacker — hampered by injuries this past season — did wind up earning those honors in 2017.

Of course, a very big year for any of the following players could lead to postseason honors and so much for being on next season’s underrated list.

Note: All players were under 25 years old as of May 30, 2019
