In this article, I will summarize the Best Under 25 years old players. These players are the best in my eyes, I selected them with my evaluation system. I did not check potential value or stats. These players are already starters. (Hopefully)
QB
QB Brady Quinn 
HT: 6'4"
WT: 231 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Notre Dame
DRAFTED: 1.3 ’07 by Chargers
He is currently the best under 25 years old QB of the league. He lead the Chargers to the Super Bowl in 2007.
Key attributes: 84 AWR, 91 THP, 99 THA
QB Andre Woodson 
HT: 6'4"
WT: 229 lbs.
AGE: 24
COLLEGE: Kentucky
DRAFTED: 3.28 ’08 by Jets
He is currently the second-best under 25 years old QB in the league. He is still developing, it will be his third season in the league.
Key attributes: 80 AWR, 95 THP, 83 THA
HB
HB Matt Forte 
HT: 6'1"
WT: 217 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Tulane
DRAFTED: 1.11 ’08 by Raiders
He is currently the best under 25 years old HB in the league. Tall and almost at my ideal, 230 lbs. For me, his 94 ACC and 91 SPD are enough.
I know people will mention how come Clifton Smith is not on the list. Well, for me he is way too small. 190 lbs are just not enough.
Key attributes: 76 STR, 94 ACC, 84 CAR, 89 BTK
HB Brandon Jackson 
HT: 5'11"
WT: 216 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Nebraska
DRAFTED: 2.6 ’07 by 49ers
He is currently the second-best under 25 years old HB in the league. He is really close to HB Forte in terms of skills. Actually, he is better. The 77 BTK and 70 CAR are too low and below the level, I would want.
Key attributes: 82 STR, 93 ACC, 70 CAR, 77 BTK
Worth mentioning: HB Clifton Smith, HB Ryan Matthews.
WR
WR James Hardy 
HT: 6'5"
WT: 217 lbs.
AGE: 24
COLLEGE: Indiana
DRAFTED: 1.2 ’08 by Dolphins
He is currently the best under 25 years old WR in the league. Incredible combination of skills. He will be a beast for a long time coming. I value his height a lot. His 96 SPD makes him really dangerous.
Key attributes: 96 SPD, 91 ACC, 91 AGI, 86 CTH
WR Jordy Nelson 
HT: 6'2"
WT: 217 lbs.
AGE: 24
COLLEGE: Kansas State
DRAFTED: 1.1 ’08 by Steelers
He is currently the second-best under 25 years old WR in the league. It was a hard decision but I like him a lot.
Key attributes: 98 SPD, 94 ACC, 96 AGI, 90 CTH
WR Robert Meachem
HT: 6'2"
WT: 210 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Tennessee
DRAFTED: 1.1 ’08 by Cardinals
He is currently the third-best under 25 years old WR in the league. Really hard decision to put him behind Jordy Nelson but his 37 STR and 77 CTH were decisive.
Key attributes: 99 SPD, 99 ACC, 92 AGI, 77 CTH
TE
TE Gary Barnidge 
HT: 6'6"
WT: 244 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Louisville
DRAFTED: 1.6 ’08 by Eagles
He is currently the best under 25 years old TE in the league. No surprise here. Big and fast guy. He already has 72 AWR and 85 CTH which combined with his size makes him a really solid TE.
Key attributes: 88 SPE, 89 ACC, 86 AGI, 85 CTH
TE Jared Cook 
HT: 6'5"
WT: 242 lbs.
AGE: 23
COLLEGE: S.Carolina
DRAFTED: 1.7 ’09 by Colts
He is currently the second-best under 25 years old TE in the league. He is a little bit smaller and has less AWR than Barnidge otherwise pretty similar.
Key attributes: 88 SPE, 89 ACC, 86 AGI, 86 CTH
OL
RT Joe Thomas 
HT: 6'8"
WT: 313 lbs.
AGE: 25
COLLEGE: Wisconsin
DRAFTED: 1.1 ’07 by Buccaneers
He is currently the best under 25 years old OL in the league. He is my favorite player from the offense side of this list. Crazy talent. There is not a single weakness. His AWR is ’only’ 72 but he has 5 years until regression.
Key attributes: 98 STR, 80 ACC, 76 AGI, 72 AWR, 99 RBK 97 PBK
LG Andy Levitre 
HT: 6'2"
WT: 305lbs.
AGE: 24
COLLEGE: Oregon State
DRAFTED: 1.16 ’09 by Browns
He is currently the second-best under 25 years old OL in the league. Hard decision because Monroe and Ugoh were on my list as well. Levtire’s 99 STR and 79 ACC made him the second-best OL on the list.
Key attributes: 99 STR, 79 ACC, 73 AGI, 73 AWR, 87 RBK 85 PBK
And that’s it. I should make the defensive side in the next few weeks as well.
