Top 5 NFL players under 25 heading into 2022 season
Youth is a powerful asset in the NFL, especially in the modern game. Young players from college football have been drafted to enter the league more ready than they have ever been in the past to make an immediate impact.
Some of the best current players in the NFL are still in their early 20s with many years of football in front of them. Here are the five best players who will begin the 2022 NFL season under the age of 25 years old.
5 Best players under 25 years old entering the 2022 NFL season
#5 - Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
Ja' Marr Chase put together one of the best rookie seasons by any wide receiver ever in his first year with the Cincinnati Bengals. He reunited with Joe Burrow, his quarterback at LSU, and instantly became one of the most dominant receivers. He ranked fourth with 1,455 yards and third with 13 touchdowns during the 2021 season.
Chase has the potential to emerge as the best wide receiver in the league if he continues to build on his historic season. The only reason he isn't ranked higher on this list is because he has only played for one season so far.
#4 - Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts
Jonathan Taylor has already accumulated nearly 3,000 rushing yards in just two seasons in the NFL so far with the Indianapolis Colts. During the 2021 season, he became the youngest player ever to eclipse 2,000 scrimmage yards.
Jonathan Taylor = MVP?

Taylor led the league in scrimmage yards, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, among other statistics, during the 2021 season. He has also averaged more than five yards per carry in each of his first two seasons while emerging as one of the best running backs in the entire league.
