Aaron Glenn’s top priority in his first year as head coach is reshaping the culture and mindset of the Jets’ organization. If that transformation includes a jump in the win column, it will likely be driven by a resurgent defense and more consistent play from quarterback Justin Fields.

PFF graded every player on every play for Week 3 of the 2025 NFL preseason, and these were the top rookie performances.

The Giants' Jaxson Dart and the Packers' Matthew Golden were among the first-round standouts in Week 3 of the 2025 NFL preseason.

The Giants have a wealth of defensive potential and a significantly improved quarterback situation. If their offensive line can find a way to improve upon last season’s poor performance, New York is a dark-horse playoff contender. If that unit doesn’t perform well, the offense could stagnate too often for them to win games.

A shaky quarterback situation and a generally unproven roster may make 2025 a developmental year for the Saints.
