  • Buccaneers' Jacob Parrish: Productive in rookie season

    Parrish recorded 76 tackles (50 solo), including 2.0 sacks, seven defensed passes, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery across 17 games during the 2025 season.

    The rookie third-round pick logged a total of 744 defensive snaps and another 129 on special teams, seeing ample opportunity right out of the gate in his NFL career. Parrish played at least 60 percent of the snaps in 10 games, and he projects to enter the 2026 season reprising his role as the Buccaneers' top slot cornerback.

  • Dane Belton SAF | NYG

    Giants' Dane Belton: Improves in fourth campaign

    Belton concluded the 2025-26 regular season with 120 tackles (including 2.0 sacks), five defensed passes (including an interception) and three forced fumbles over 17 contests.

    Belton began the campaign as a rotational defensive back, but he started nine of New York's final 10 games. That helped the 2022 fourth-round draft pick more than double his previous career-high mark for tackles in a season, and the three forced fumbles were also a career best. Belton doesn't grade out as an elite defender, but he buoyed his value to the Giants by thriving on special teams. He's slated to become a free agent, and it's unclear if New York will attempt to bring him back.

  • Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Career-best season in '25

    Dennis recorded 101 tackles (66 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five defensed passes, including one interception, across 16 games in the 2025 regular season.

    After playing under 100 snaps in each of his first two seasons over 17 total games, Dennis moved into a full-time role and put his whopping 909 snaps to good use. Dennis' stat line was unsurprisingly comprised of career-best figures across the board, and he recorded at least seven tackles on 10 occasions. Dennis will now head into the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, although given his breakout campaign, it's certainly conceivable he and the Bucs come to terms on an extension this offseason.

  • Bobby Okereke ILB | NYG

    Giants' Bobby Okereke: Concludes campaign on high note

    Okereke tallied six tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-17 Week 18 win over Dallas. For the campaign, he posted 143 stops (including 1.0 sacks) along with six defenses passes (including two interceptions) across 17 contests.

    Okereke came on strong in the turnover category late in the campaign, with both of his interceptions and his lone fumble recovery taking place over the final two weeks. Beyond that, the veteran linebacker put together another big season of tackling, leading New York with 143 stops and tying for 10th overall in the league in that category. Okereke missed five games due to injury last year, but he's otherwise been very durable, playing all 17 regular-season contests four of the past five campaigns. Okereke will be in the final season of his four-year contract next year.

  • Quay Walker LB | GB

    Packers' Quay Walker: Career year in 2025

    Walker tallied 128 tackles (58 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five pass defenses over 14 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025.

    Despite missing two games in November due to a neck injury, Walker managed to post a career high in combined tackles while logging 2.5 sacks for a third consecutive season. He posted at least nine tackles in nine games during the 2025 season, including in each of his final four appearances before sitting out of Week 18 against the Vikings for rest purposes. The Packers opted to decline Walker's fifth-year team option in May, and with the two sides unable to reach an agreement on an extension, the 2022 first-rounder will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, though Green Bay could utilize the franchise tag on the Georgia product.

  • Packers' Isaiah McDuffie: Tallies 92 stops in 2025

    McDuffie recorded 92 tackles (47 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one interception across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    McDuffie worked as a rotational linebacker, with Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper working on an every-down basis. Though McDuffie lost snaps compared to his 2024 campaign, he remained very productive on a per-snap basis. He'll enter 2026 in the final year of a two-year contract, and he could be asked to step into a larger role if Walker departs in free agency.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Finishes 2025 season strong

    McManus went 24-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 32-for-33 on extra-point tries over 14 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025.

    McManus missed at least one kick between Weeks 2 and 4 before missing the Packers' next two games due to a right quadriceps injury. He proceeded to go 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts over his next three outings before sitting out Week 11 against the Giants after aggravating his quad injury. That extra rest seemed to do the trick, as McManus was perfect in his return, making all 13 of his field-goal attempts and each of his 16 point-after tries over the final seven games of the regular season. McManus will be on the books for the Packers for the next two seasons after signing a three-year, $15.3 million contract in March.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Packers' Josh Whyle: Sees more snaps after Kraft injury

    Whyle logged five catches (on six targets) for 36 yards and a touchdown across eight regular-season games with the Packers in 2025.

    Whyle spent the first half of the season on the Packers' practice squad after failing to make the Titans' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. There wasn't a path to playing time for the third-year tight end until Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers, which prompted the Packers to sign Whyle to the active roster in early November to serve as the team's TE2 behind Luke Musgrave. Whyle didn't see more than one target in any of his eight regular-season appearances, serving mostly as a blocker on offense. He will have the ability to test the waters during the 2026 offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Rashan Gary LB | GB

    Packers' Rashan Gary: Another impactful season

    Gary recorded 45 tackles (25 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

    The Packers underwent some changes along their defensive line and pass rushers entering 2025, but Gary remained a consistent force. He tallied at least 7.5 sacks for the third consecutive season and also recorded 20 quarterback hits -- the latter serving as the third-highest mark of his career. Gary should remain a key part of Green Bay's defensive line for its playoff run and into 2026, as he remains under contract for two more years.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Quiet end to regular season

    Musgrave played just two offensive snaps and was not targeted during Green Bay's regular-season finale against the Vikings.

    Musgrave has operated as Green Bay's top tight end since Tucker Kraft (ACL) suffered a season-ending injury Week 9. His receiving production has been underwhelming, however, and despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games, Musgrave has totaled just 24 catches for 252 yards (on 31 targets) without a single touchdown. He surpassed 50 receiving yards in just one of those 17 appearances. Musgrave will continue to handle the No. 1 tight end role during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bears.
