The NFL is full of elite players at young ages.
There was a time when NFL rookies were not used much early in their careers.
But that is no longer the case.
Many of the best players in the NFL are young and still on their rookie contracts.
Pro Football Focus recently released their list of Top-10 skill position players under the age of 25.
Every name on the list is deserving of recognition.

The top name on the list is Justin Jefferson who is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.
He will be 24 years old at the start of next season and already has three straight 1,400+ yard seasons.
Last season Jefferson won Offensive Player of the Year and was fifth in MVP voting.
While Jefferson stands out amongst the bunch there are plenty of other elite wide receivers.
Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Jaylen Waddle are amongst the best in the league.
One player that could join that tier after this season is Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
He now gets to play with Aaron Rodgers and that should help him make a massive jump.
Also, you see running back Jonathan Taylor on the list.
Running backs have shorter careers than other positions, so they are relied on to produce as rookies.
That is exactly what Taylor has done throughout his career.
He was a first-team All-Pro in his second season and had over 2,100 scrimmage yards.
Each of these players is well deserving of making the list as they have been impact players early on in their careers.
