On Wednesday, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz undertook to rank the under-25 portions of every NFL team. He called it an important component in “determining which NFL teams are set up for future success.”
Schatz made this ranking by considering the number of starts and snaps made by these young players of each team (factoring in the relative importance of their positions) and the age-adjusted quality of their play. Also considered: the value and length of each team’s player contracts, value added from recent draft picks and projections for starting lineups (and time missed from injuries) in 2024.
