It's time to start getting familiar with the 2025 Dynasty Rookie class. Several players are already generating significant buzz as the top prospects for the upcoming draft: Ashton Jeanty, Luther Burden, Travis Hunter, Tet McMillan, Cam Ward, and Shedeur Sanders. Rebuilding teams have been eyeing these names for a while now. But beyond the obvious top tier, this is shaping up to be a surprisingly deep year for skill-position talent. In this article, I'll highlight some of the more interesting players just outside the top group who are worth keeping an eye on going forward.

A lot can change in the coming months, but true talent tends to remain consistent. So, it's fair to pencil many of these players in as first-, second-, or third-round picks in both the real NFL draft and Dynasty drafts that take place in the spring.

I can’t touch on every player in these tiers, and you can check my rankings to see who I favor and where.

CADE KLUBNIK, QB, CLEMSON - 6’2 210lbs

My top Quarterback prospect currently (which might be a bold move to make), Klubnik comes with all of the tools a modern QB needs to thrive in the current NFL. Klubnik is springy and light on his feet with the athleticism to extend plays and pick up chunk yards. His arm can easily generate velocity and touch, although it’s not always on. His primary challenge right now is consistency and continued development. If he finishes the season strong, I could see him climbing into the first round, and with the right system, he could emerge as a top-10 producer at the position in just a few seasons. While the buzz around Klubnik isn't very loud at the moment, by the spring, people will start to realize just how high his ceiling could be.

BHAYSHUL TUTEN, RB, VA TECH - 5’11 210lbs

Another player who's flying under the radar right now is Tuten, but once more eyes are on him, the buzz will only grow louder. The combine should really turn up the volume on his stock. Tuten is explosively athletic, with elite burst and speed powered by spring-loaded, rock-solid legs. He has a low center of gravity and enough bulk to bounce off defenders in traffic, making sharp jump cuts to create separation. And don't overlook his ability to contribute in the passing game out of the backfield. Watch him and see.

TAI FELTON, WR, MARYLAND - 6’2 181lbs

Felton has the makings of a PPR Monster in the NFL. A smooth and loose athlete with prototypical wide receiver size, Felton’s best strength are his natural hands that fly to the football and pluck it out of the air without effort. He has inside/out versatility and will make a living flashing in front of the Quarterback on slants and crossers, or sitting in intermediate zones and getting chunk gains. Felton might not have a truly elite physical skillset but receivers like him become best friends with quarterbacks and can become target fiends.

JALEN ROYALS, WR, UTAH STATE - 6’0 205lbs

Sadly, Royals lost the rest of his college season to a foot injury. In seven games, Royals had 55 receptions, 834 yards and 6 touchdowns which gives you a glimpse of his playmaking ability. Royals best ability is his combination of releases and easy speed to gain separation from the LOS to the endzone. And, unlike a lot of pure athletes at the position, Royals can finish. He has good timing on jump balls and is aggressive playing off of DBs despite his average size and strength. He uses his body’s maximum extension well and has good hands. Royals is an underdog that was flashing the type of play that would get an SEC receiver full time attention as a future star.

NICK SINGLETON, RB, PENN STATE - 6’0 227lbs

I don’t know what Penn State is doing offensively because they aren’t making the most out of Singleton (Or Allar, for that matter). He’s a rocked up, large bruising back that also has a powerful and fast stride coming from beastly tank legs. His one-cut style is efficient and he moves in a different tempo than defenders who are often on their heels trying to get good angles. A size/speed combo that, when paired with his comfort catching passes out of the backfield, is something Offensive Coordinators can dream on. He’s an RB1 that is currently being cooped up.

ISAIAH BOND, WR, TEXAS - 5’11 180lbs

Every year a small but super twitchy and fast receiver becomes the apple of a teams eye. Zay Flowers, Xavier Worthy and now Isaiah Bond. Bond can sometimes look like a bobblehead out there with a big helmet on a smaller body, but few can match his one-step quickness and speed. The caveat is, as always, size and catch radius. A team will have to motion and draw specific plays for Bond and take some missed passes and injuries in stride. This profile is always boom or bust and with Bond it’s no different.
