The 2025 NFL offseason is actively underway as all 32 teams engage in organized team activities (OTAs), and mandatory minicamps loom. While these sessions are not true football practices, noteworthy narratives are surfacing. For instance, Cam Ward and Travis Hunter are demonstrating their potential to contribute significantly.

Prominent players will undoubtedly attract headlines as the offseason evolves; for example, if Aaron Rodgers joins the Pittsburgh Steelers, interest will surge in Western Pennsylvania. Additionally, elite edge rushers like Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson are seeking long-term contracts from their teams.

Conversely, certain underappreciated players also have a chance to make an impact at upcoming minicamps. Below are seven veterans worth monitoring:

1. Joe Milton III

   • Team: Dallas Cowboys
   • Position: Quarterback
   • Age: 25 | Season: 2nd | Acquired: Trade (2025)
     Recently traded from the New England Patriots, Milton brings exceptional athleticism and an impressive passing arm central to his training camp potential.

2. Khalil Herbert

   • Team: Indianapolis Colts
   • Position: Running Back
   • Age: 27 | Season: 5th | Acquired: Free Agency (2025)
     Herbert’s speed makes him an asset, especially as the Colts navigate discussions regarding their quarterbacks.

3. Raheem Mostert

   • Team: Las Vegas Raiders
   • Position: Running Back
   • Age: 33 | Season: 11th | Acquired: Free Agency (2025)
     With new dynamics at the running back position, Mostert’s experience and speed should yield opportunities.

4. Mike Williams

   • Team: Los Angeles Chargers
   • Position: Wide Receiver
   • Age: 30 | Season: 9th | Acquired: Free Agency (2025)
     After a tumultuous 2024, Williams returns to the Chargers, offering depth and explosiveness to their passing game.

5. Jahan Dotson

   • Team: Philadelphia Eagles
   • Position: Wide Receiver
   • Age: 25 | Season: 4th | Acquired: Trade (2024)
     Dotson notably contributed last season; increased targets may give him a chance to display his skills.

6. Mack Hollins

   • Team: New England Patriots
   • Position: Wide Receiver
   • Age: 31 | Season: 9th | Acquired: Free Agency (2025)
     Known for his unorthodox habits, Hollins could surprise as a go-to option for quarterbacks this spring.

7. Isaiah Rodgers

   • Team: Minnesota Vikings
   • Position: Cornerback
   • Age: 27 | Season: 6th | Acquired: Free Agency (2025)
     As the Vikings make changes to their roster, the addition of Rodgers presents an opportunity for a cornerback breakthrough.
