The Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen was voted the NFL MVP award after an outstanding 2024 performance. He directed the Bills to their 5th consecutive AFC East title followed by impressive postseason wins over the Broncos and Ravens. The Bills lost another dramatic matchup with the Chiefs who moved on to another Super Bowl appearance.

Allen had 41 offensive touchdowns for fourth in the NFL, a 101.4 passer rating for eighth in the league and only six interceptions. He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week four different times. He also became the first player in NFL history to record at least 25 passing TDs, 10 rushing TDs and one receiving TD in a season.

Allen was truly worthy of the award. He lost his top two receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis in the offseason. He worked with a solid group of skill position players behind a very good front line. His combination of powerful arm to drive the ball down the field, strong scrambling where he is capable of running away or over defenders and savvy decision making earned him the coveted award. He clearly did the most with the least among his competitors.

In what was one of the most hotly contested MVP races in recent memory, Allen received 27 of the 50 first-place votes, four more than Jackson, who was selected first-team All-Pro last month. It’s the same voters for MVP and All-Pro, which is why many thought Jackson was the favorite to win what would have been his third MVP award.

Top Running Backs for NFL Draft 2025

Frank Coyle/ Publisher 

The running back position made an incredible comeback in 2024 with several high profile NFL runners switching teams and having breakout seasons. NFL veterans Saquan Barkley, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon and Tony Pollard all left in Free Agency and made major impact on their new offenses with all producing impressive numbers and becoming key performers on playoff clubs, except for Pollard. The position has been diminished over the past decade with virtually all performers failing to obtain a second contract, even after getting the Franchise tag for one season. Barkley and Henry were the key catalyst on the Eagles and Ravens run to the Conference championship games. Barkley hopes to complete his season with a final performance in Super Bowl LIX vs the Kansas City Chiefs.

This year’s rookie running back class is a strong group with at least one prospect, Ashton Jeanty expected to be selected in the first round. Several other runners, Johnson, Hampton, Sampson and Skattebo are expected to be chosen on the 2nd day of the draft process and in the top overall 100 selections. Expect many surprise NFL runners chosen in the final rounds with a few winning starting jobs over their careers. Running backs usually make a quick impact in the NFL where their natural talent rise quickly to the occasion and win key roles in an NFL offense.

2025 NFL Draft – Underclassmen List

Fifty-five players granted special eligibility for 2025 NFL Draft.

The NFL announced on Thursday the names of 55 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2025 NFL Draft and 15 underclassmen who have fulfilled their degree requirements with college football eligibility remaining and are also eligible for selection in the draft. The 2025 draft is scheduled to be held April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Twenty-five players applied for special eligibility prior to the newly instituted early “soft” deadline of Jan. 6, which was added to assist players and all-star game organizers in the planning and invitation process. Thirty additional players submitted their petitions prior to the traditional deadline of Jan. 15 to apply for special eligibility for the 2025 draft. This list does not include players that are playing in the FBS National Championship Game on Jan. 20. For those players, a “Championship” deadline of Jan. 24 has been added.

Each of the 55 players listed below have met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility by submitting written notification to the league office on or before the Jan. 15 deadline. Consequently, they are eligible for selection:

Additional prospects can enter the NFL Draft 2025 after the CFP title between Notre Dame vs Ohio Stat game Monday Jan. 20th. They have until Jan. 24th to decide if they want to enter the NFL Draft 2025.

2025 NFL Draft Declared Underclassmen

Frank Coyle/ Head scout and Staff

The current class of underclassmen have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft at the Jan. 15 deadline. This initial group is a small class with additions expected after the CFP title game on Jan. 20^th. Both Notre Dame and Ohio State could provide another strong group of athletes for the NFL Draft. CFP players will have until Jan. 24th to enter the draft process.

Recent classes of underclassmen have been small groups due to an extra year of eligibility from COVID-19, in addition to the NIL system of endorsement money which has allowed players to be paid with many transferring in the busy transfer portal. The transfer portal has two periods this year, one concluded in December 2024 and another prior to the NFL Draft in mid-April 2025.

The current class could exceed 90 prospects once all deadlines have been passed and confirmed prospects have been verified. Many prospects from the skilled positions is on the list along with defensive front seven players. The NFL office will provide an official Underclassmen list after all deadlines and summit requests for entry.

Jan. Newsletter will have complete Underclassmen Class

NFL Playoffs – Quarterback Won/Loss Records

Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Leads QB Postseason Records

Frank Coyle/ Staff

The KC Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes attempts to become the first QB in Super Bowl history to win three consecutive titles this postseason. Mahomes has already won three titles over with the current back-to-back titles, setting up the opportunity to set a new NFL record. He has been incredible leading the Chiefs in the postseasons with 15 victories in his short career. His .833 winning percentage ranks the highest of both current and former veteran starters. Last season, his 15 postseason wins passed Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Brett Farve and Ben Rothlisberger. His next win ties him with Joe Montana for 2nd place all-time behind only Tom Brady. Brady has an amazing 35 postseason wins with 7 Super Bowl titles, with most as a New England Patriot. Brady lost two SB games to the NY Giants, both when he left the field with only minutes to go with the Patriots in the lead, only to fall to dramatic performances by the Giant’s Eli Manning in the closing seconds.

2025 NFL Draft Selection Order
First Round Rankings

With just three games remaining on the regular season schedule the NFL Draft order has begun to take shape. The Giants and Raiders hold the top two selections at 2-12 with both clubs inventing new ways to lose weekly. Both teams are on their 3rd starting QB after several injuries and poor performances which has forced weekly changes at the position.

The five teams are tied at 3-11 and all are possible of winning the draft derby for the 1st overall selection. It is the usual suspects in the top ten with several pretenders near the .500 mark, hoping to get hot down the stretch and earn a wild card position. The final 18 positions will be determined after the 17-game season with the final 12 spots decided by the playoffs. The Super Bowl teams will hold the 31^st and 32^nd positions.   

 The strength of schedule % will determine the final positions of all tied teams. The SOS is based on all of each team’s opponents record. Each succeeding round, the tied teams will rotate up within their tied bracket.

NFL Team Poll

Ranking /Record /Team

#1 – 11-1 Chiefs
Chiefs beat the turkey Raiders on Thanksgiving. They know how to win close games and Mahomes gives them a clear advantage in big spots. Host the Chargers in a pivotal AFC West battle with first place in the balance and possible #1 AFC seating.

#2 – 11-1 Lions
Lions edged the Bears and host the Packers this Thursday night. They have been dominant most of the season and the team to beat in the NFC and possible #1 seating.

#3 – 10-2 Bills
Bills bashed the 49ers behind another great Josh Allen performance. Travel to LA to face a hungry Rams club which is backed to the wall to win the final month of the season.

#4 – 10-2 Eagles
The Eagles beat the Ravens in a gutsy performance. They continue to peak entering the final month. Host the struggling Panthers looking to open a three game NFC East lead.

#5 – 9-3 Steelers
Steelers outslugged the Bengals in another AFC North battle. Their defense showed a few kinks vs Joe Burrow. Russell Wilson continues to impress in a comeback performance.

#6 – 10-2 Vikings
Vikings won their 5^th straight game, beating the Cardinals. They continue to press the Lions for the NFC North title. Host the Falcons in a pivotal NFC matchup.

#7 – 8-4 Chargers
Chargers made a terrific comeback vs the Bengals in a wild shootout. Host the Ravenls this week in a great matchup between Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson.

#8 – 8-5 Ravens
Ravens fell again vs the Steelers. Travel to LA to face the hot Chargers on Monday night in a pivotal AFC matchup which will affect both divisions.

#9 – 8-5 Commanders
The Commanders bounced back vs the Titans. Get their bye week to prepare for a stretch run. Rookie Daniels has directed this offense nicely.

#10 – 8-5 Texans
The hot and cold Texans just edged the Jaguars in latest game. Hold a two-game lead in the AFC South entering their bye week. Young CJ Stroud needs to regroup and cut his mistakes entering the final month.

#11 – 9-3 Packers
The Packers beat the Dolphins on Thanksgiving. Face divisional leading Lions in Detroit on Thursday. This may decide if they can make the playoffs in the toughest NFC division.

#12 – 8-5 Broncos
The aggressive Broncos rode the hot hand of rookie sensation Bo Nix for another victory. They get their bye week to reload for a run at a wild card position this postseason.

#13 – 7-5 Seahawks
Seahawks outlasted the Jets to gain NFC West leadership. Travel to Arizona in a battle for first place.

#14 – 6-6 Rams
Rams have reached the .500 mark after a slow start. They host the Bills in a matchup which may define their season. QB Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen can put on a show.

#15 – 6-6 Cardinals
The Cardinals lost a heartbreaker to the Vikings. They host the Seahawks looking to avenge an earlier lost where they scored only 2 FGs.

#16 – 6-6 Falcons
The Falcons extended their losing streak to three games. Travel to Minnesota looking to stay alive in the playoff hunt. Starting QB Kirk Cousins could get a hook for rookie #1 pick Michael Penix if his mistakes continue to mount.

#17 – 6-6 Bucs
Bucs beat the Cardinals in OT to stay tied for the NFC South leadership. Host the Raiders in a must win situation to keep pace for the divisional title with most likely only one South club making the postseason.

#18 – 5-7 Dolphins
Dolphins lost to Packers on Thanksgiving breaking their two game winning streak. Host the Jets for their first matchup of a soft late schedule where they are still capable of surprising with a healthy QB Tua.

#19 – 6-7 Colts
The Colts won another lost game vs the Patriots. They enter their bye week hoping to regroup and make a run in the soft AFC South. They lack consistency and firepower and look to erratic Richardson to become the catalyst for a late playoff run.

#20 – 5-7 49ers
The 49ers were crushed by the Bills on Sunday night which dampens their playoff hopes even in the weak NFC West. Their key offensive injuries may limited their attack. Host the Bears in a battle of also runs.

#21 – 4-8 Bengals
The Bengals lost yet another wild game, this time to the Steelers despite an amazing performance by QB Joe Burrow. Their defense has allowed an incredible 340 points, passed only by the inept Panthers in the league. Travel to Big D for a matchup of two of the most disappointing teams in the league.

22 – 5-7 Cowboys
The Cowboys are on a bogus two-game winning streak in hope they make a desperate run at a wild card  playoff position. Host the potent Bengals who will press their overrated defense to the fullest.

#23 – 4-8 Saints
Saints lost to the Rams in a close contest. Travel to Metlife to face the collapsing GMen. New HC Darren Rizzi has this club playing hard, though their lack of firepower in big spots has limited their chances.

#24 – 4-8 Bears
The Bears came up short vs the Lions on Thanksgiving for their 5^th straight loss. Rookie QB Caleb Williams is paying well and hopes to continue his resurgence on their West coast visit to the 49ers.

#25 – 3-9 Browns
Browns batted the Broncos to the wire, though lost on two pick sixes by QB Jameis Winston. They are the lowest scoring offense in the AFC and are expected to make major changes this offseason. Travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers after beating them just a few weeks ago.

#26 – 3-10 Patriots
The young lost another close game this time to the Colts. They continue to struggle and get their bye week to prepare for a difficult final month which probably guarantees them a top 3 selection in the NFL Draft 2025.

#27 – 3-9 Jets
Jets got spanked by Geno Smith and the Seahawks last week. They continue to fall apart at the seams. Travel to Miami hoping to spoil any long shot playoff aspirations of the Dolphins.

#28 – 3-9 Titans
The Titans got smashed by the Commanders. Host the Jaguars in a battle for the basement in the AFC South. Titans have made little improvement over the 2024 season.

#29 – 3-9 Panthers
Panthers fought the Bucs to overtime, though came up short again. Young QB Bryce Young is gaining valuable experience. Travel to Philly for a major opportunity to take the next step.

#30 – 2-10 Jaguars
Jaguars were edged by the Texans last week for their 5th straight loss. Go to Nashville looking to get out of the basement vs the Titans.

#31 – 2-10 Giants
The Giants lost on Thanksgiving in Big D failing to finish many drills which could have made a difference. Host the Saints this week with QB Drew Lock at the helm again.

#32 – 2-10 Raiders
The Raiders lost their 8th straight game vs the Chiefs. Travel to Tampa playing out the string in another disastrous season which will cause major turnovers this offseason.
