Preseason rookie grades: Week 2

Week 1

NFL rookies had some time to get acclimated to their new cities and teammates, but now we all get to see how they handle the best competition they've ever faced.

Below, I've graded the performance of one rookie from each game in the second full week of preseason action . Some of these players are well-known to football fans, while others are trying to make names for themselves on the professional gridiron.

These evaluations are not predictions of how players will fare in this upcoming season, nor are they long-term career projections. Each mark simply takes stock of how the rookie played in Week 2 of the 2025 preseason.
