The 2024 NFL season is right around the corner. NFL is currently at a point where it values youth more than ever. Most of the best NFL players are under 28 years old. Here is a list of the best players under 25 heading into 2024.
Top Players Under 25 For 2024 NFL Season
1. Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) WR
Justin Jefferson is without a doubt the best wide receiver in the NFL and might even be the best overall player in the NFL right now. Jefferson is heading into his five seasons in the NFL and seems to be willing to sit out until he gets an extension from the Vikings.
Jefferson is set to get a massive contract worth over 30 million dollars per year, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. Jefferson is still only 24 years old and is one of the best players under 25 heading into the 2024 NFL season.

2. Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys) EDGE
Even though the NFL is stacked with talent at the EDGE position with guys like TJ Watt and, Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons is still one of the best. Parson is one of the most versatile defenders in the NFL as he can do almost anything on the field. Parson had a good year in 2023, but it was not the incredible season he was hoping for. Heading into the 2024 NFL season Parsons looks to bounce back from 2023.

3. Ja’Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals) WR
Similar to Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Chase is also due for a new contract next season, which could also be over 30 million dollars per year depending on how much Jefferson gets paid. Ja’Marr Chase just turned 24 years old at the beginning of March. Chase is very young and is already one of the best players under 25 heading into the 2024 NFL season.

4. Patrick Surtain II (Denver Broncos) CB
The NFL is currently at a point where there is not one cornerback who is the undisputed best in the league, but Patrick Surtain II is definitely in the conversation. Even if he is not the best Suratin is certainly inside the top five corners in the NFL. Suratin just turned 24 years old this week and is one of the best defenders in the entire NFL.
5. Sauce Gardner (New York Jets) CB
Another player who is very similar to Patrick Surtain II is Sauce Gardner. Gardner is also regarded as a top-five cornerback in the NFL and might be the best. Sauce is heading into just his third year in the 2024 NFL season. Gardner was the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. In his rookie season, he looked like one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. Gardner did the same thing last season and is one of the best players under 25 heading into the 2024 NFL season.
