Week six of the 2025 National Football League regular season is now complete. Here are the top five rookies on winning teams. Two of the rookies are on the New York Giants and two rookies are on the Carolina Panthers.

5) Ashton Jeanty

The native of Jacksonville, Florida continued his great rookie season with Vegas. On Sunday, he had 23 rushes for 75 rushing yards and one touchdown, and two rushes for 11 rushing yards in a 20-10 Raiders win over the Tennessee Titans. After the loss, the Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan.

4) Tetairoa McMillan

The Panthers have now won two straight games. On Sunday, they beat the Dallas Cowboys  30-27. What we saw on Sunday was the progression of rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan of Waimanalo, Hawaii, who had three catches for 29 yards, and two touchdowns. The major scores were for 19 and two yards.

3) Ryan Fitzgerald

McMillan was not the only Panthers rookie to star on Sunday. The other was kicker Ryan Fitzgerald of Coolidge, Georgia. Fitzgerald made three field goals and three converts, including the game-winner for 33 yards with no time left on the clock.

2) Jaxson Dart

The Giants entered their game on Thursday as an 8.5 point underdog. The Giants quarterback from Kaysville, Utah looked like an experienced veteran managing the clock and not making mistakes. Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 passing yards and one touchdown pass, along with 13 rushes for 58 rushing yards and another rushing touchdown in a 34-17 New York stunner over Philly.

1) Cam Skattebo

The Giants’s other offensive weapon was running back Cameron Skattebo of Rio Linda, California. He had 19 rushes for 98 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, along with two catches for 12 receiving yards. The Giants have now won two of their last three and look like an exciting team to watch because of their two first year stars!
