As NFL teams prepare their final rosters for the upcoming season, ESPN analysts Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder created an All-NFL roster to celebrate the past 25 years. They evaluated players based on their performance from 2000 onward, incorporating advanced metrics like DYAR to quantify player value. The roster features 25 offensive players, 23 defensive players, and five special teams players, with a practice squad of near-misses, showcasing how analytics shape the understanding of player contributions throughout this period.
At this point of the NFL offseason, front offices are starting to think about their final 53-man rosters for the upcoming season.
