NFL, College Teams Settle Key 2025 Position Battles

The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for a challenging 2025 NFL season under new defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, facing six of the league's top quarterbacks including Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. The Kansas City Chiefs are working to resolve a key left tackle competition between Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons as they seek to strengthen their offensive line ahead of another Super Bowl run. In college football, Texas A&M is positioned for a strong season with major position battles at cornerback and center, following an influx of transfers and a highly ranked recruiting class. Louisville's linebackers, previously a defensive weakness, contributed to an improved run defense last season but must address pass coverage issues for 2025. Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter, now a junior and member of the SEC Football Leadership Council, is set for a leadership role as the team opens its season against Syracuse. These developments reflect new and ongoing position battles shaping both college and NFL rosters ahead of the 2025 season.
