2025 NFL Draft Big Board

1.

Abdul Carter, LB, Penn State. Previously: 1 Avg. 17.9 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Carter has 60 tackles with 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, and three passes broken up. Carter notched 49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, five passes defended, and one interception in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder has quickness and upside to develop. He is a fast edge rusher with the ability to bend around the edge, but Carter has some issues in run defense that are unavoidable given his size as a full-time edge rusher. However, Carter also is a dynamic athlete that can play some Mike linebacker and Sam linebacker. He is very versatile with how he can be used and Carter has amazing speed and pursuit skills. In the NFL, he could be an edge rusher that has a similar style of play to Micah Parsons.

2.

Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado. Previously: 2 Avg. 2.2 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Hunter had 96 receptions for 1,258 yards with 15 touchdowns receiving and one rushing. He had 35 tackles with four interceptions, 11 passes broken up, and a forced fumble on defense. Hunter dominated against North Dakota State, Baylor, UCF, and Oklahoma State. He allowed one receiving touchdown against Utah. Hunter is playing with a shoulder injury, and teams also have some medical concerns after Hunter had injuries the previous two seasons. Hunter won the Heisman Trophy to cement his legendary status for his amazing college career.



08/27/24: Coming out of high school, Hunter was one of the top recruits in the nation, and he shocked the college football world when he signed on with Jackson State and head coach Deon Sanders. In his freshman season, Hunter had 18 catches for 190 yards and four touchdowns on offense. At cornerback, he had 19 tackles, two interceptions, and eight passes broken up. After that season, Hunter transferred to Colorado, following Sanders to the Buffalos. In 2023, he was a two-way star while playing through injuries. He caught 57 passes for 721 yards and five touchdowns. On defense, he had 31 tackles with five passes broken up and three interceptions. There is a lot of debate in scouting circles entering the 2024 season about whether Hunter should play wide receiver or cornerback in the NFL.

3.

James Pearce Jr., DE, Tennessee. Previously: 3 Avg. 7.1 per 19
01/07/25: Pearce had 38 tackles, 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass batted. He has applied more pressure than the numbers illustrate, and his run defense looks improved this season. Team sources like Pearce even though he is not a finished product yet. Some team sources compare Pearce to Brian Burns coming out of Florida State.



08/27/24: Pearce was a big-time presence for the Volunteers in 2023, making a lot of splash plays and producing a lot of pressure on the quarterback. He totaled 27 tackles with 9.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. Pearce is listed at 6-foot-5, 242 pounds, but that could be inflated. If those numbers are exaggerated, as often is the case, Pearce could fit as an outside linebacker and edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. His run defense needs to improve for the NFL. Pearce would need to gain weight and get stronger to be an every-down defensive end in a 4-3 scheme.

4.

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado. Previously: 4 Avg. 2.5 per 19
01/07/25: Sanders has completed 74 percent of his passes for 4,134 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has four rushing touchdowns as well. Sanders has a quality arm, is very accurate, has a great football IQ, and is very tough. As a pro quarterback, he has to get the ball out faster and improve his anticipation.



08/27/24: Sanders was very good in 2023, completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and three interceptions. He had four rushing touchdowns as well. Sanders has a quality arm with functional athleticism and is a very accurate passer. Mentally, Sanders is rare and extremely intelligent. He is instinctive, confident, with great feel, and has an extremely high football I.Q. Sanders looks like a future pro starter.

5.

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona. Previously: 6 Avg. 4 per 10
01/07/25: In 2024, McMillan had 84 receptions for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns. He suffered a foot injury and is out indefinitely. In the season opener, McMillan was going against an easy opponent in New Mexico, but he had a game for the games that rewrote record books. In the season opener, McMillan totaled ten receptions for 304 yards and four touchdowns. McMillan was limited by the struggles of quarterback Noah Fifita in 2024, and McMillan declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.



08/27/24: Arizona had an impressive 2023 season while featuring a dangerous passing attack. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing was a known factor for 2023, but McMillan emerged as a playmaker that season. The sophomore caught 90 passes on the year for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns. McMillan notched 39 catches for 702 yards and eight scores as a freshman. The 6-foot-5, 210-pounder McMillan has mismatch size for the NFL.

6.

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan. Previously: 5 Avg. 6.2 per 19
01/07/25: Johnson has recorded 14 tackles, two interceptions (both returned for touchdowns), and three passes defended. In Week 1, Johnson had a critical interception he returned 86 yards for a touchdown. In Week 4, Johnson had a huge 42-yard pick-six to help Michigan get a three-point win over USC. A shoulder injury caused Johnson to be held out against Minnesota, and he left the game against Illinois with a foot injury. In early October, Johnson suffered a season-ending injury.



08/27/24: Johnson played really well for the Wolverines in 2023 and provided very good coverage late in the year during their championship run. He totaled 27 tackles, four interceptions, and four passes defended for 2023. In 2022, he recorded 27 tackles, three interceptions, and three passes broken up. Johnson has a good skill set and upside.

7.

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan. Previously: 7 Avg. 16.3 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Grant had 32 tackles, three sacks, and five passes batted. It took time for Grant to work his way onto the field behind Kris Jenkins. However, Grant really flashed as a sophomore. In 2023, Grant put up 29 tackles, four passes batted, 3.5 sacks, and an interception in backup duty. The 6-foot-3, 339-pounder has a rare combination of speed, athleticism, and strength. Grant has top-notch ability with a surprising ability to bend his big body. He can play strong when he wants or needs to, and Grant is fast with the ability to run plays down. Grant has a ton of upside, and he is not as dominant as he can be. He could be a better pro than college player, and Grant looks like a top half of the first-round talent for the 2025 NFL Draft.

8.

Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina. Previously: 8 Avg. 9.7 per 19
01/07/25: Emmanwori had 83 tackles, two passes broken up, and four interceptions with two returned for a touchdown. His second interception had a 100-yard touchdown return taken away by a block on the quarterback. Emmanwori had 11 tackles with two interceptions including one returned for a touchdown against Oklahoma. Emmanwori has an excellent skill se and is versatile.



08/27/24: Emmanwori is a huge safety with rare coverage ability for a player that big. He has been a steady contributor for the Gamecocks the past two seasons. In 2023, he had 71 tackles, 10 passes broken up, and two interceptions in 11 games. The previous season, he totaled 85 tackles as a freshman. Emmanwori is a freak athlete with instincts and speed and can flash some physicality.

9.

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State. Previously: 9 Avg. 13.3 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Jeanty averaged 7.0 yards per carry for 2,601 yards with 29 touchdowns and 23 receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown. Jeanty carried Boise State to a 56-45 win over Georgia Southern. Jeanty ran for 267 yards on 20 carries and had six touchdowns. Jeanty ran well against Oregon (25-192-3), Washington State (26-259-4), and Utah State (13-186-3).



08/27/24: Jeanty was one of the top offensive players in college football during the 2023 season. As a sophomore, Jeanty averaged 6.1 yards per carry for 1,347 yards with 14 touchdowns. He was also a tremendous receiving back, with 43 receptions for 569 yards and five scores. This was a big improvement from his freshman season when he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 821 yards with seven touchdowns. He had 14 catches for 155 yards that season.

10.

Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia. Previously: 10 Avg. 9.5 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Williams had 21 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles. Williams injured his ankle in the second half of the season opener against Clemson, and that caused him to miss the month of September and the grudge match against Alabama. He returned against Auburn and was superb in a road win at Texas.



08/27/24: While playing behind some veterans, Williams flashed big-time ability as a freshman for Georgia, recording 4.5 sacks, 6.5 tackles for a loss, and 28 tackles. He had 16 tackles with 4.5 sacks and two passes batted as a sophomore while playing in a rotation. Williams has good size, speed, and athleticism. He has the potential to be a breakout player in 2024.

11.

Will Campbell, OT, LSU. Previously: 11 Avg. 7.9 per 19
01/07/25: Campbell did not allow any sacks against USC. He had a mixed outing against South Carolina. Campbell played well against Arkansas and had a decent outing taking on Texas A&M. Campbell had a respectable performance against Alabama but allowed some coverage sacks against Florida.



08/27/24: Campbell earned the starting left tackle job in training camp as a true freshman and started 13 games at left tackle. He has held onto the spot as a sophomore, protecting the blind side of Jayden Daniels. Campbell is big and will enter the NFL with a lot of valuable experience, having been a three-year starter in the SEC, assuming he stays healthy.

12.

Jordan Burch, DT, Oregon. Previously: 14 Avg. 17.5 per 11
01/07/25: Burch has been a talented player for years but inconsistent. In 2024, he seems to be putting it all together with 31 tackles, five passes batted, one forced fumble, and 8.5 sacks thus far. The 6-foot-6, 295-pounder has good height, length, quickness, and athleticism. In 2023, he had 34 tackles with three sacks. The previous season he had 60 tackles with 3.5 sacks.

13.

Tyler Booker, G, Alabama. Previously: 13 Avg. 16.6 per 14
01/07/25: Booker has been superb this season for the Crimson Tide. Booker dominated against LSU helping Jalen Milroe produce four rushing touchdowns. All season, Booker has been stonewalling bull rushes, tying up speed rushers, and getting movement at the point of attack in the ground game. The powerful Booker can get a serious push at the point of attack with brute physicality and power. He is a people mover in the ground game and looks like a plug-and-play starter at guard in the NFL. Booker could be a first- or second-round pick next April.

14.

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri. Previously: 12 Avg. 9.5 per 19
01/07/25: Burden had 61 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns.



08/27/24: Burden played really well as a sophomore, putting up 86 receptions for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns in 2023. As a freshman, he flashed with 45 catches for 375 yards and six scores. He also ran the ball somewhat that season, averaging 4.9 yards per carry and scoring two touchdowns. Burden is a gritty and effective receiver with playmaking speed and advanced route-running.

15.

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia. Previously: 15 Avg. 15 per 5
01/07/25: Starks had 77 tackles, three passes defended, and an interception. He had a mixed game against Auburn. Starks is more of a coverage safety with smooth athleticism and speed. He is not a physical force.



08/27/24: Georgia has had a loaded defensive backfield, so it shows how talented Starks is that he won a starting spot as a freshman. In 2022, he recorded 69 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes broken up. In 2023, Starks collected 52 tackles, three interceptions, and seven passes defended. He was rock-steady for the Bulldogs and looks ready for the NFL.

16.

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama. Previously: 21 Avg. 26 per 9
01/07/25: The 6-foot-3, 244-pound Campbell is a big linebacker with speed and athleticism to go with his size. Campbell has showed versatility by dropping into coverage, defending the run well, and rushing the passer. In 2024, he has 108 tackles with five sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and two passes broken up. Campbell looks like a first-round talent for the 2025 NFL Draft.

17.

Mason Graham, DT, Michigan. Previously: 17 Avg. 11.3 per 19
01/07/25: Graham had 46 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and one pass batted. Graham was very quiet against Texas, but he was a beast versus USC and had two sacks against Minnesota. Graham declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.



08/27/24: A former star recruit, Graham flashed as a freshman in 2022, collecting 28 tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble and a pass batted. He recorded 35 tackles, three sacks, one pass batted, and one forced fumble in 2023. Graham has good size and upside.

18.

Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State. Previously: 18 Avg. 17.6 per 19
01/07/25: Williams had 38 tackles and 2.5 sacks thus far. Williams has played in two games thus far.



08/27/24: Williams flashed interior rush ability in 2021 when he put up five sacks and 16 tackles. In 2023, he played solid football while recording 54 tackles, three sacks and five passes defended. Williams had a number of impressive plays against Notre Dame, getting the better of left tackle Joe Alt. Williams decided to return to Ohio State for the 2024 season, and he could take on a bigger role with Michael Hall Jr. moving on to the NFL.

19.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State. Previously: 42 Avg. 47.5 per 19
01/07/25: In 2023, Egbuka had 65 catches for 824 yards and nine touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder turned in 74 receptions for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022. He emerged as a potential No. 1 receiver or really good No. 2 wideout. At other schools, Egbuka would have had an even bigger year, but he was the No. 2 receiver for Ohio State across from Marvin Harrison Jr. While injuries were a factor in 2023, Egbuka needs a bounce-back season in 2024 as he looked much faster in 2022 compared to his 2023 performance. Thus far in 2024, Egbuka has 70 catches for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns.

20.

Alfred Collins, DE, Texas.
01/07/25: Collins has 53 tackles, one sack, and six passes batted thus far. While Collins is not a sack producer, he does contribute to the rush by getting a push into the pocket. Collins is strong, physical, and very tough as a run defender. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder is versatile to play outside or inside and a variety of techniques. In 2023, Collins collected 22 tackles, two sacks, and two passes defended.

21.

Mike Green, DE, Marshall. Previously: 16 Avg. 17.6 per 8
01/07/25: Green has been a monster for the Thundering Herd this season, with a ton of big plays for the Marshall defense. In 2024, Green had 17 sacks with three forced fumbles, 81 tackles, and two passes batted. The 6-foot-4, 248-pounder has serious speed and explosion off the edge. If Green does well at the Senior Bowl and Combine, he could be a potential late first-round pick.

22.

Omar Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee. Previously: 22 Avg. 24.7 per 11
01/07/25: The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Norman-Lott is a quick gap-shooting defensive tackle capable of putting pressure on the quarterback. In 2024, he had 18 tackles and four sacks while being disruptive for the Volunteers. In 2023, Norman-Lott showed pass-rush ability with 5.5 sacks and 26 tackles with Arizona State. Norman-Lott looks more muscular and much tougher against the run with Tennessee than he did with the Sun Devils.

23.

Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas. Previously: 28 Avg. 31.1 per 19
01/07/25: Banks played well as the starting left tackle for the Longhorns over the past few seasons. At 6-foot-4, 324 pounds, Banks has adequate size, but some might view him as having more of a guard-type body – depending on how long his arms are. Banks moves well for his size with quickness and athleticism. He could start out at tackle, and move inside as a Plan B if he struggles on the edge.

24.

Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State. Previously: 24 Avg. 24.7 per 11
01/07/25: In 2024, Judkins has averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 924 yards with eight touchdowns. He has 17 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. At Ole Miss, Judkins was a tough runner who has been productive the past two seasons. In 2023, he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,158 yards with 16 touchdowns. The previous season, he averaged 5.7 yards per carry for 1,567 yards with 16 touchdowns. The 6-foot, 220-pounder transferred to Ohio State for the 2024 season. Judskins is big, fast, explosive, and has good instincts as a runner.

25.

Cam Ward, QB, Miami. Previously: 25 Avg. 30.6 per 19
01/07/25: In 2024, Ward has completed 67 percent of his passes for 4,313 yards with 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has four rushing touchdowns as well. Ward (6-2, 223) was a point machine over the previous three seasons at Washington State, generating a prolific number of touchdowns. For the NFL, Ward looks like a potential starting quarterback. He has enough arm strength to stretch defenses vertically and can ad-lib his team into big plays. Ward has some running ability to buy time and hurt defenses with his ability to pick up yards on the ground. Like all college players, Ward has some things to work on for the NFL. He needs to get the ball out faster, as he has the habit of holding the ball too long. Ward puts a lot of pressure on his line by holding it for so long. Ward needs to speed up the process of reading defenses. Expanding his knowledge of coverages and fronts will help him to read faster.
