With the league calendar soon turning over another year, the NFL Combine and free agency will take the spotlight.

While the NFL Combine is set to take place next week in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium, NFL.com recently released their list of the top 25 already-established players who could join new teams as free agents in 2015.

The top 25 is dominated by defensive players, most notably pass rushers, and among them is three-time Pro Bowler Brian Orakpo (No. 24).

Orakpo, of course, was drafted by the Redskins with the 13th-overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

In six seasons with the Redskins, Orakpo has cemented himself as one of the best pass rushing linebackers in the NFL, recording 40 sacks during that span.

But he's also suffered two season-ending injuries (2012, 2014) as well, leaving questions about his future with the Redskins.

At the top of the list is Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Taken with the second-overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Suh quickly became one of the best interior lineman in the NFL. In 2014, he recorded 53 tackles and 8.5 sacks -- numbers almost unheard of for a big guy up the middle.

For his career, Suh has 239 tackles and 36 sacks.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, meanwhile, comes in rated as the top offensive player.

Bryant experienced a career-year in 2014, recorded 88 receptions with 1,320 yards and 16 touchdowns.
