While the summer may just be getting started–and chilly autumnal nights seem far away–NFL training camps are set to open later this month. The six-week camps are especially crucial for young players. It’s where they receive their first opportunities to impress their coaches and teammates, as well as melt our eyes.

To gear up for the unofficial start of NFL season, we decided to run through 30 of the league’s hottest young prospects. Some are already household names, such as Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (known as “Daddy” to his legion of TikTok fanatics) and long-haired Los Angeles Chargers pass-thrower Justin Herbert, while others are still establishing themselves. Players like dynamic Washington QB Jayden Daniels and Atlanta Falcons running back Bijon Robinson fall into the latter category.

Then there are rookies, who are still largely anonymous. That is, until now!

For symmetrical purposes, we decided to keep our criteria to first round selections. Only top-rated guys for us, thank you very much!

If you’re not feeling patriotic yet, you will after looking through these 30 All-American beauties, five from each of the last five drafts. Scroll through and enjoy the show…
