Training camp is underway, and the dawn of the 2025 NFL season is quickly coming into view.

As the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles emphasized this week, the new league year provides a fresh slate for every team and a new chapter for each player.

For rising NFL talents, the 2025 campaign could be a springboard toward stardom. Let’s take a look at three budding stars who deserve more playing time in the upcoming season.

Bengals RB Chase Brown

With the superstar receiver tandem of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding major attention from opposing defenses, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown could be in store for a huge year.

Brown, 25, finished the season strong after wrestling the starting role away from veteran rusher Zack Moss after a month as the reserve.

From Week 5 onward, the Bengals ball-carrier rushed for 806 yards, which was the sixth-highest total of any AFC rusher. He was one of seven running backs to record 3+ receptions in at least 10 games. 

In his last 8 games, Brown averaged 116 scrimmage yards. That projects to 1,976 over 17 games, which would have been the third-most in the NFL last year.
