Reigning Heisman Trophy-winner <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/travis-hunter/86060">Travis Hunter</a> has arrived in Duval County to make a real difference for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/jacksonville-jaguars-depth-chart">Jacksonville Jaguars</a>. A one-of-one player, Hunter is taking on the unprecedented feat of starring on both sides of the football in the NFL.
His proven talents at the University of Colorado will bode well, as the 6-foot-1 athlete has astonishing ball skills. With the Buffaloes, Hunter produced 20 total touchdowns and nearly 2,000 receiving yards. On defense, he contributed 66 tackles, 16 pass breakups, and a forced fumble. He'll continue to dominate both ways until proven otherwise.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/chicago-bears-depth-chart">Chicago Bears</a> quarterback <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/caleb-williams/69046">Caleb Williams</a> is preparing diligently for his sophomore campaign as a professional. Despite a turbulent 2024 season, Williams and a revamped Bears offense are garnering attention around the NFL. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner showed progress from start to finish as a rookie, and with improved protection going forward, we'll see what Williams can do as he enters his physical prime; he's only 23 years old. There is a fair chance he becomes Chicago's first-ever 4,000-yard passer in 2025.

He is the highest-drafted running back since 2018, and he'll look to justify that going forward.

Right off the bat, his 6-foot-4, 212-pound frame gives him a natural advantage over opposing defensive backs. From there, McMillan's incredible jumping ability, combined with 4.53 speed, makes him a dynamic threat. He averaged 16.1 yards per reception over three years with the Arizona Wildcats, which led to him being the highest drafted offensive player in U of A history.

Linebacker <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/miami-dolphins-depth-chart">Chop Robinson</a> had an impressive rookie season for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/miami-dolphins-depth-chart">Miami Dolphins</a> in 2024. Despite registering only one start, he logged 26 tackles, eight TFL, and six sacks. He also saw action in every game. Standing at 6-foot-3, 255 pounds, Robinson is poised to make improvements in Year Two with Miami defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Robinson is strong, explosive, and a disruptive force.

Heading for the 2025 campaign, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/baltimore-ravens-depth-chart">Baltimore Ravens</a> arguably have the strongest secondary in the league. Cornerback <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/nate-wiggins/59765">Nate Wiggins</a> is a key cog of the defensive backfield, and he will continue to grow under Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Last year with Baltimore, the Clemson alum issued 33 total tackles, 13 pass breakups, and one forced fumble. He also returned his only NFL interception for a touchdown. Keep an eye on the speedy Wiggins in 2025.

There is certainly a world where rookie-quarterback <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jalen-milroe/86192">Jalen Milroe</a> winds up taking the majority of snaps for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/seattle-seahawks-depth-chart">Seattle Seahawks</a> in 2025. He may be buried on the depth chart to start training camp, but that does not mean he will be cemented there. The 6-foot-2 Alabama alum boasts remarkable athletic traits, including a rocket-throwing arm and a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. Milroe is a true football player, so don't be surprised to see him on the highlight reel.

Similarly to Milroe, there is a scenario where <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/cleveland-browns-depth-chart">Cleveland Browns</a> quarterback <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/shedeur-sanders/86346">Shedeur Sanders</a> is thrust into action. Neither signal caller ahead of Sanders on the depth chart appears to be a long-term solution in Cleveland, and Sanders proved at Colorado that he can accurately deliver footballs within an offensive scheme; he showcased a 71.8% completion clip over two campaigns with the Buffs. Do not rule out future success as a professional.

However, he can't wait to show the NFL community what he can do with the Vikings' hyper-talented skill group. Remember: this is a player who completed 72.3% of his throws for his final collegiate campaign.
