NFL rookie minicamps for the 2025 league year generally start around early to mid-May. Most teams hold their rookie minicamps on dates ranging from May 2-4 up to May 9-11, 2025. For example:
- The Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, and several other teams have rookie minicamps scheduled for May 9-11.
- Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers have theirs earlier, around May 2-4.
- Baltimore Ravens start theirs May 3-5.
This timing reflects the typical schedule when rookies are invited to team facilities for initial offseason activities and development following the NFL Draft. So, rookie minicamp start dates for teams in 2025 are mostly clustered in the first half of May, with May 9-11 being especially common across the league.
