Higgins was limited to 12 games in 2024 due to injuries, but he made the most out of his time on the field. He finished the year with 73 catches for 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns. It was the fourth time in his five-year career that he recorded at least 900 receiving yards.

After playing the 2024 season on the franchise tag, Higgins was tagged for the second year in a row. However, he clearly proved his worth and was rewarded with a four-year, $115 million contract extension in March.

A healthy season from Higgins could help the Bengals return to Super Bowl contention in 2025.

In his 11th year in the NFL, Mack didn't lose a step. He played in 16 games and produced 39 total tackles, six sacks, nine passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the ninth time in his career and the third straight year.

Mack's consistency helped the Chargers rank first in the NFL with just 17.7 points allowed per game, a massive improvement from the 2023 season in which they ranked 24th with an average of 23.4 points allowed. Los Angeles also ranked 11th with 324.4 total yards allowed per game last season, up from 28th in 2023 with 362.9 yards allowed.

The Chargers had their season come to an end in the AFC Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans. Despite the loss, Mack made his presence felt in his lone playoff game with six tackles and two sacks.

There had been some questions as to whether Mack's impressive career was winding down, but he signed a one-year extension in March to remain in Los Angeles. He will certainly be motivated to help the team achieve even more success in 2025.
