The 2025 NFL Draft is still over a year away, but it’s never too early to start looking ahead to the next crop of talented players. In a recent mock draft, Shane Hallam predicted the top picks, including James Pearce, a talented EDGE player from Tennessee, going to the Carolina Panthers with the first overall pick. But what about the players who are looking to make a comeback in the 2024 season?
One player who could be in line for a comeback is Sam Darnold, the former Jets quarterback who is now fighting for the starting job with the Vikings. With a talented roster around him, including wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, as well as free-agent addition Aaron Jones at running back, Darnold has the potential to lead the Vikings to the playoffs and earn himself Comeback Player of the Year honors.
But Darnold isn’t the only player looking to turn his career around. Christian McCaffrey, the top-ranked running back in the NFL, is looking to lead the 49ers to another successful season. And with Elijah Mitchell and rookie Isaac Guerendo backing him up, the 49ers have one of the deepest backfields in the league.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, boast the most explosive running back room in the NFL, with Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane, and rookie Jaylen Wright making up a fearsome trio. And with the Lions’ David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs leading the charge in Detroit, the NFC North is shaping up to be a battle of the backfields.

The Vikings’ defense, led by coordinator Brian Flores, played extremely well in 2023, and whoever plays quarterback will be in position to succeed. And with Darnold’s surrounding weapons, he has the potential to flourish and lead the Vikings to the playoffs.
