CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams make top 25 under 25; Bryce Young excluded

CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams have been included in The Athletic's ranking of the NFL's top 25 players under 25 years old. Stroud is ranked 19th, while Williams is 21st. However, Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers are absent from the list, highlighting the team's ongoing rebuilding efforts and struggles to attract young talent. The Panthers, despite recent improvements, lack players capable of breaking into such elite rankings. The future may hold promise for receivers Tetairoa McMillan, Jonathon Brooks, and Jalen Coker, who could emerge in next year's evaluations.
