Saquon Barkley calls Bijan Robinson 'the next great one' in NFL Top 100 clip
Robinson was ranked 62nd on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 countdown After a promising rookie season, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson took things to another level in 2025. The former top-10 pick finished his sophomore campaign ranked third in the NFL with 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. Robinson's big year helped him land a spot on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 countdown. The Falcons running back was ranked as the 62nd-best player in the league, drawing praise from his peers, including 2024 rushing leader Saquon Barkley. "Bijan's definitely the next great one," said Barkley. "Him and [Jahmyr] Gibbs. But there's nobody who's able to cut like Bijan in the NFL. There's not. You can argue with your mom about that to be honest. And, you know, trust me, I love myself and I think I have great cuts. His vision, his agility, and he can catch the ball too." WATCH: Bijan Robinson makes NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 The Falcons held their first training camp practice on Thursday, giving fans their first glimpse of the 2025 roster.

New York Giants' Malik Nabers makes debut on NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 list
NFL Top 100 Players of 2025:@Giants WR Malik Nabers slots in at No. 67! @NFLFilms There aren't many players the New York Giants can hang their hats on these days. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, linebacker Brian Burns, and left tackle Andrew Thomas, the team's three highest players, are among the best at their positions in the league, but there's not a lot to pick from after that -- yet. Enter second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers, who set an NFL record for receptions by a rookie wideout last season. Nabers is one of the league's biggest rising stars and was recently named to NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2025 list. No. 67 - Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants 2024 stats: 15 games | 109 rec | 1,204 rec yds | 11.0 ypr | 7 rec TDs | 2 rush yds | 1 rush TD An emerging star in New York, Nabers was a highlight reel every week for the Giants. Regardless of who was under center for the Giants, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 draft filled the stat sheet. Nabers was a bright spot in New York's underwhelming season with his receptions tally briefly holding the rookie record, and finishes his debut campaign with a Top 100 accolade to his résumé. NFL Pro Insight for Nabers: Malik Nabers was targeted on 36.5% of his routes run when facing single-high safety coverage last season, second-highest in the NFL among wide receivers with at least 150 such routes run. Nabers earned 103 targets against single-high coverages last season, nine more than any other receiver. However, he gained just 649 yards on those targets, ranking 13th overall. The Giants feel they have several other possible rising stars, such as safety Tyler Nubin, tight end Theo Johnson, running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., and linebacker Abdul Carter.

Jordan Mailata makes his debut on the NFL's Top 100 list
After an All-Pro season, Philadelphia left tackle Jordan Mailata was ranked No. 69 in the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2025, becoming the first Eagle to make the list this year Jordan Mailata has a dream story, a rags-to-riches scenario that saw the 2018 seventh-round pick develop into one of the best left tackles in the NFL, and the highest graded at his position. After an All-Pro season, Mailata was just ranked No. 69 best in the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2025, becoming the first Eagle to make the list this year. Last season, the highly efficient Mailata helped Saquon Barkley become just the ninth player in NFL history to reach 2,000 rushing yards. Mailata's 85.5 PFF overall grade in Week 17 led all offensive tackles, and he's the highest-graded offensive tackle in the NFL (95.8). Mailata leads the NFL in run blocking grade (94.9), and he's second in pass blocking (91.7), according to PFF.

Patriots media availability reportedly announced before training camp
The New England Patriots will hold media availability next Tuesday, prior to training campbeginning on Wednesday, according to Sports Illustrated's Mike Kadlick. Tuesday's press conferences will include special teamer Brenden Schooler, All-Pro cornerback ChristianGonzalez and veteran tight end Hunter Henry. All three are expected to play key roles for a Patriots team looking to bounce back from consecutive 4-13 regular season finishes. There will be multiple storylines to keep an eye on entering training camp, including Drake Maye's second NFL season, Mike Vrabel's first year as head coach for the Patriots, Josh McDaniels' return as offensive coordinator, the defensive improvements and possible upgrades along the offensive front. Gonzalez, in particular, will be an interesting media scrum after he was recently revealed as the No. 84th-ranked player in the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025. If anything, this announcement of a media scrum means football is getting closer. It seems like only yesterday that the Philadelphia Eagles were crowned as Super Bowl champions. The Patriots will now have an opportunity to make some noise of their own and get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

NFL Top 100 Players of 2025: Steelers' Cam Heyward selection up 15 spots than last year
The first Steeler has cracked the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 list — and it's none other than veteran DT Cameron Heyward. Heading into his 15th season, Heyward was selected as the 83rd-best player in 2025 — up 15 spots from his selection at No. 98 last year. Heyward's 2025 ranking still doesn't do his play justice, as he seemingly reversed the hands of father time last season, accumulating eight sacks, 12 tackles for loss, and 20 QB hits — leading to his fourth First-Team All-Pro selection. Even at 36 years old, Heyward is one-of-one at the defensive tackle position in the NFL — but it's his wisdom and veteran experience that will be invaluable to the development of two Steelers rookies: first-round DT Derrick Harmon and fifth-round DT Yahya Black. Heyward isn't looking to simply pass the torch in 2025 — he has Super Bowl aspirations alongside what's shaping up to be an incredibly stacked Steelers roster.
