## 2026 Outlook

Rylie Mills is poised for a breakout 2026 season after a redshirt rookie year in 2025. The 24-year-old former Notre Dame defensive lineman spent much of his first season recovering from a college-ending injury that sidelined him before training camp. When Mills entered play in Week 15, he made an immediate impact with a sack in just five defensive snaps against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Now fully healthy, Mills figures to capitalize on favorable one-on-one matchups created by elite pass rushers Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, and Jarran Reed drawing opposing offensive line attention.
