Summary
Trent McDuffie landed at No. 5 and Puka Nacua at No. 8 in The Athletic’s NFL under-25 rankings, giving the Rams two players in the top 10.
McDuffie’s case rested on all-around production—4.4 speed, 6.2 yards allowed per target and eight forced fumbles since 2022, the most among cornerbacks.
Nacua ranked just behind after a huge season in which he led the NFL with 129 catches, 80 first-down receptions and 107.2 receiving yards per game.
Jared Verse, whom Los Angeles traded this offseason, still placed No. 20, underscoring the young talent the Rams gave up to acquire Myles Garrett.
The showing follows another recent veterans ranking that featured three Rams over 30, reinforcing expectations that Los Angeles is built to contend this season.
