ESPN Under 25 team has four Saints, but glaring omission (1 Viewer)

Saquon over Kamara (and Zeke too for that matter)

The NFL's best under-25 starting lineup: Our picks, runners-up

Lattimore, Peat, Ramczyk, and Rankins made it.

The Saquon Barkley hype is already out of control. Maybe wait for him to take a NFL hand-off before anointing him the greatest. SMH

Yeah, I don't understand how a rookie beat out the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year at that same position. There are a LOT of guys that missed the cut at age 25. Did you know that Marcus Mariota is younger than Carson Wentz?

I don't have enough ">" marks on this keyboard to say how much better Kamara is than anyone who hadn't taken an NFL handoff yet. Rankins is a solid-enough D-lineman surely enough, but his production doesn't warrant bumping Kamara off any such list.

Course, the reason that kind of item exists -- mere clickbait -- isn't one ESPN will get from me today. Don't plan on clicking that story

ESPN showing that New York bias again. No way can someone that hasn't taken a snap yet beat out the reigning rookie of the year. ESPN being ESPN, I guess.

EPSN is legitimately in the business of manufacturing fantasy (not that kind) sports news. They've completely gone away from objectively covering sports and instead, build stories and cover sports that support their narrative. Its worthless to me. This article is exactly why. Making up a list to please big market fans with no real statistical analysis or even editing... smh

Downside of the season getting close is having to hear the word "Diggs" again.

I was mad but not surprised when I saw this. Penn St. RB always crash and burn in the NFL, it's a joke to put him over Kamara when he's done nothing yet...

 

[bigdog]

Baker Mayfield got a vote. Hasn't played a down and isn't even scheduled to be a starter for his team. Makes no sense.

 

[tjharris]

Al least have Zeke Elliot and Gurley but not a RB who hasn't even played in a preseason game yet.

Downside of the season getting close is having to hear the word "Diggs" again.

Diggs did nothing on that play but catch the ball and run. Williams took himself and Crawley out of the play without even touching Diggs.

This story is on Reddit /r/nfl and it has close to 8k comments. We aren’t the only ones that think this (and ESPN) is a huge joke.

what about Marcus Williams? .... he should have made it too ...
