Quarterback Baker Mayfield had a career-best year in 2024, passing for 4,500 yards with 41 touchdowns as he spread the ball to a plethora of weapons, headlined by running back Bucky Irving and receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, who's returning from a season-ending injury.

Shedeur Sanders got all of the attention as a quarterback with uncertain draft stock. He became the story of the draft when he fell to the fifth round. But his brother, Shilo Sanders, was also chasing his NFL dream. He had an uncertain draft stock as well, and he didn't end up being selected at all.
