7 breakout candidates to watch at Ravens training camp

With the first practice set to begin, we're looking at seven Baltimore Ravens players on a trajectory for a breakout season. The Ravens are hours away from having rookies and veterans all together at the Under Armour Performance Center for the start of training camp 2025. John Harbaugh's team is loaded on offense with arguably the best quarterback, running back, and potentially the top center in the NFL. Baltimore had the NFL's most explosive offense in 2024, and last season, the Ravens became the first team in NFL history to have 40 passing and 20 rushing touchdowns. It's also the first to post 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards. Most of that explosive potential returns on both sides of the football, with two rookie defenders adding to the potential. With the first practice set to begin, we're looking at seven players on a trajectory for a breakout season. OLB Tavius Robinson The Ravens had the second-most sacks in the league last season (54) and two players in double digits (Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh). They wanted to upgrade the pass rush and landed Marshall's Mike Green in round two after he slid out of the first round. Still, Baltimore has all of its outside linebackers returning, including third-year pass rusher Tavius Robinson. The former Ole Miss pass rusher had 32 tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defensed, and 12 QB hits in 17 games last season. Robinson spent the first half of last season in a rotational role at edge rusher, but he did start in the final six regular-season games. DT Travis Jones In the 2024 season, Jones recorded 42 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sack, across 17 regular-season games while playing 600 defensive snaps. With Michael Pierce's retirement, he may take on an even larger role in 2025. The 2022 third-round pick started in 15 of 17 regular-season games, and he'll need to increase his production in 2025. OL Andrew Vorhees Ronnie Stanley is elite when healthy, Tyler Linderbaum is a Pro Bowler, Daniel Faalele was a Pro Bowl alternate, and Roger Rosengarten has established himself as one of the best young right tackles in the NFL. That leaves third-year left guard Andrew Vorhees, who'll need to win the starting job and then elevate his game to help Baltimore continue its streak as the NFL's top rushing team. WR Devontez Walker Baltimore has a solid trio of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins at the wide receiver spot. Still, injuries happen, and the Ravens would prefer to have Walker elevate his role over Tylan Wallace or the rookie LaJohntay Wester. Head coach John Harbaugh recently commented on the former UNC player. "Every day, all he does is show up and go 100 miles an hour," coach John Harbaugh said at the conclusion of minicamp, via the team's official site. "He's got a chance to be really good." Walker ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, and he'll look to be Lamar Jackson's big-play weapon. OLB David Ojabo Ojabo, who has the benefit of being the club's International Pathway player, could be on his final stand with the team. Ojabo, 25, became a household name in 2021, recording 11 sacks at Michigan and establishing himself as a likely first-round pick. His draft stock took a massive hit after he tore his ACL at his pro day, and he's yet to regain that elite form or athleticism. OL Daniel Faalele A massive player who struggled at offensive tackle, Faalele found his footing after a switch to the offensive guard position, earning Pro Bowl alternate honors in 2024. Faalele won the starting right guard job out of training camp and played every single offensive snap in every game last year. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Faalele surrendered one sack and 32 pressures in 578 pass-blocking opportunities in the previous season. Faalele needs to improve as a run-blocker. CB Nate Wiggins Wiggins had a solid debut with 33 tackles, an interception returned for a touchdown, 13 pass breakups, and a forced fumble. He earned seven votes for the Associated Press's Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and finished 11th in the voting. After bulking up this off-season, Wiggins will look to take his place among the NFL's best cornerbacks, while learning even more about the position from new teammate Jaire Alexander.

New York Giants' Jamie Gillan leaves No. 6 to Jaxson Dart, switches to No. 12

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will wear No. 6 for Big Blue this season. The issue was seemingly settled this week when the player currently donning the number, punter Jamie Gillan, switched to No. 12. Gillan now shares the jersey number with wide receiver Jordan Bly, who is unlikely to make the team. Dart, who was selected 25th overall in this year's NFL draft by the Giants, would love to wear No. 2 -- the number he wore in college at Ole Miss-- but another former Giants' first-round pick, cornerback Deonte Banks, just took the number over this past offseason and is not going to surrender it cheaply. Dart and Banks discussed a possible trade for No. 2, but Dart claimed Banks wanted "too much" in return. Banks switched from No. 3 to No. 2 after the Giants signed 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson in free agency this past offseason. Wilson will wear No. 3. This doesn't mean Dart's quest for No. 2 is over. Wilson is signed for just this season, and Banks has two years left on his rookie deal. If Wilson does not return in 2026, Banks could likely reclaim his old number. Then again, if Banks doesn't pick up his game, he could be gone in two years, leaving No. 2 vacant for Dart to snatch up.

2 Eagles and three of Philadelphia's NFC East rivals land on the NFL's All-Under-25 team

2 Eagles and three of Philadelphia's NFC East rivals land on the NFL's All-Under-25 team If this is your first rodeo with a Philadelphia Eagles training camp and preseason, there's no need to worry. You're in for a treat. The info will be endless. There are seemingly 500 podcasts, another 100 publications, and 50 television shows. Sit up straight, rookies. You can trust and believe that one of two things will happen. You'll either develop a sweet tooth because of all the info, or you'll be overwhelmed with so much information by the second preseason game. Here's some free advice. Pace yourself. At the time of this story's release, Week 1 of the regular season is still over one month away. The hated Dallas Cowboys are the opponent. Rest up when you can. Drink plenty of fluids. Give yourself the appropriate number of mental breaks. Find yourself some fun content whenever possible. Here's one you may enjoy. Two Eagles land on an NFL Under-25 Team, along with three stars from rival franchises As training camp gets underway, we've seen more rankings and all-star teams than we know what to do with. When you think you've seen it all, someone comes up with something else. This time around, Around The NFL writer Nick Shook introduces his All-Under-25 Team. Five members of the NFC East make the cut. That includes two Philadelphia Eagles, Nakobe Dean and Jalen Carter. "When you turn on Carter's tape, it's impossible to not notice his blend of power, speed and pure force, especially when he's rushing the passer. Carter is incredibly gifted in this department and served as a key part of an Eagles defense that overwhelmed opponents en route to a Super Bowl LIX triumph. There is room for him to improve against the run, but he has the tools. With a Pro Bowl to his name and a small portion of Defensive Player of the Year votes in 2024, Carter has already landed on the national radar. Expect him to stay there." There isn't a Birds fan who will find fault with Shook's take. Dean has battled injuries, so it's nice to see him on the list as one of the linebackers. Here's the reasoning behind his addition. "After serving as a rotational player for two seasons, Dean stepped into a full-time role in 2024 and flourished, racking up 128 tackles, three sacks, four passes defensed and one interception. His jump in production was remarkable enough to earn him a few Comeback Player of the Year votes, and while he could still improve in coverage, Dean proved the ball-chasing instincts that he displayed at Georgia were still in him last season. As a defender with three pro campaigns under his belt before his 25th birthday, Dean might be seen as a bit of a late bloomer, but better late than never." Joining Carter and Dean on this roster are three rivals: guard Tyler Smith (Dallas), wide receiver Malik Nabers (New York), and the quarterback of this squad, Jayden Daniels (Washington). It's a unique blend of talent. One thing is sure. If this were a real squad, opposing coaches wouldn't enjoy any rest before playing them.
