10 PLAYERS UNDER 25 POISED TO MAKE MONSON’S 101 NEXT SEASONSam Monson identifies 10 players under 25 years old that are in position to make his 101 best players list next season.SAM MONSON | 6 HOURS AGO ProFootballFocus 
next by anti java, on Flickr (AP Photo/Bob Leverone)This week, we are thinking ahead when it comes to the 101 best players in the NFL, and instead of focusing on who made this year’s list and who missed out, we’re going to start by thinking about the young players in the league that are ready to make the list in a year’s time.There are a few young guys we’ve already mentioned elsewhere as narrowly missing out, but let’s focus on the players under 25 years old that have a real shot to crack the ranking in the next 12 months.1. Henry Anderson, DE, ColtsI think if he had played the full season, Henry Anderson would have made the list after just his rookie year. Throughout their final seasons in college, I believed Anderson was a better player than Jets DE Leonard Williams, despite the disparity in their draft stock. Both players had excellent rookie years and were neck-and-neck in grading terms at the time Anderson went down injured, robbing us of a fascinating grading battle down the stretch. Anderson is a disruptive interior player for the Colts who was performing very well against the run, but should be able to bring pressure as a pass-rusher, too, in year two. If he can do that, I’d expect to see him make this list.2. Marcus Peters, CB, ChiefsMost people were wondering where on earth Marcus Peters was on the list this time around, never mind in a year’s time, given that he led the league with eight interceptions. The truth isn’t that PFF hates Peters, or the Chiefs, or cornerbacks, but that we’re also taking into account the eight touchdowns he surrendered, the 939 receiving yards, and the nine penalties. Peters was very boom-or-bust in his rookie season, but he is much further ahead in his development than I thought he would be after year one in the NFL. If he can iron out some of the bumps in the road and maintain the playmaking highs, Peters could vault up the list quickly in the next 12 months.3. Jameis Winston, QB, BuccaneersJameis Winston is another player whose game has been all about highs and lows. Good Winston put in some outstanding games as a rookie, but his opening-day performance was the single-worst grade we gave any quarterback during the regular season, and he ended the year with a poor performance against an excellent Carolina defense in the Bucs’ final game. Overall, I think the balance was far more positive than negative, but the bad games were enough to keep him off the list as a rookie. If he takes a step forward in year two, or just avoids any disastrous games, then he should make the list.For the rest..... https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-10-players-under-25-poised-to-make-monsons-101-next-season/
