NFL OTAs Showcase Rising Talent Across Multiple Teams

As NFL teams wrap up their minicamps and OTAs, several players and squads are showing early promise heading into the 2025 season. On the AFC side, rookies like Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid for the Bills, and Arian Smith for the Jets, are generating buzz, while veterans such as DeAndre Hopkins appear revitalized. Predictions for division winners largely favor incumbents like the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North and the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, with the Denver Broncos potentially emerging as a new leader in the AFC West. However, some teams have faced criticism for their offseason missteps, notably the New Orleans Saints for questionable spending and quarterback decisions, and the Cleveland Browns for ongoing quarterback issues. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears have seen encouraging performances from players like fifth-round pick Roquan Smith and safety Jaquan Brisker during spring activities, suggesting potential positive momentum. Overall, the offseason activity has set varied expectations, with some teams poised for success and others facing significant challenges.
