Mike Evans and Jameis Winston are two of the 25 best young players in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.

In the website's Top 25 Under 25 list, Evans ranks 11th and Winston ranks 20th. Evans is the highest-ranked receiver, and Winston is the highest-ranked quarterback, edging out Marcus Mariota. Evans technically shouldn't qualify for the list because he'll turn 25 before the start of the regular season. Winston, however, doesn't turn 25 until January.

Here's what PFF said about Evans and Winston:

• "Evans is the only player to make the this list with four seasons under his belt already. In fact, Evans has graded as 'good' or better in all four of them and his 2016 overall grade of 93.7 is the highest grade any under-25 receiver has put up and it's not even close."

• "The first quarterback to grace the list, Winston has finished all three of his career seasons graded 80.0 or above, making it hard to make the case for another quarterback to jump him. Winston has flashed the potential that made him the No. 1 overall pick in 2015. including this past season, he was more productive than any quarterback not named Tom Brady while under pressure, producing a passer rating of 84.4."

The Saints, Chiefs and Titans each had three players ranked. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore, running back Alvin Kamara and offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk made the list for New Orleans; running back Kareem Hunt, defensive tackle Chris Jones and receiver Tyreek Hill for Kansas City; and Mariota, safety Kevin Byard and offensive tackle Jack Conklin for Tennessee.

In last year's edition, Evans ranked 10th and Winston ranked 17th.

Earlier this week, Sean Wagner-McGough of CBS Sports also ranked the NFL's best players under 25. Evans came in at No. 8, but Winston did not make the cut.
