RB Jacquizz Rodgers, S Dezmen Southward
Although these three players didn’t quite make the cut for the top 10 players under 25, they are worth mentioning that they did contribute enough to make this list in some way.

Quizz Rodgers served as a back-up to Steven Jackson, but had a down year in 2014. He struggled to get going on the ground at times and failed to impress fans as much as Antone Smith or Devonta Freeman did. But he did end up with over 200 yards on the ground with 1 TD, while adding 173 yards through the air with 1 TD.
Dezmen Southward was a third round draft pick last season, and showed that he has the potential to become a starter in the future. He appeared in all 16 games and had 23 tackles, a sack and an interception.
