Commanders' 2025 Rookie Class Ranks Second in NFL

The ESPN NFL ranks have been released, and the Washington Commanders’ 2025 rookie class has come out on top. The team’s young talent made a significant impact this season, with several rookies contributing to the team’s success. According to ESPN, the Commanders’ rookie class averaged over 60% of their total playing time, which is impressive considering that many rookie classes average around 20-30%. This suggests that Washington’s coaching staff and front office made some savvy decisions in terms of player development and opportunities for young players. In comparison, other NFL teams struggled to find consistency from their rookies. The Dallas Cowboys’ class averaged around 40% playing time, while the Buffalo Bills’ class hovered around 50%. Even teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams had limited contributions from their rookies. Washington’s strong rookie performance can be attributed to the team’s emphasis on player development and the coaching staff’s ability to get the most out of its young players. The Commanders’ front office also made smart decisions in terms of drafting and signing talent that could help establish a winning culture for years to come. Overall, Washington’s 2025 rookie class is being hailed as one of the best in recent memory, and it will be interesting to see how the team continues to develop its young players in the coming seasons.
