NFL Draft 2025 – 17 Prospects Invited to Attend

Travis Hunter, Cam Ward, Abdul Carlter & Ashton Jeanty Highlight Event in Green Bay

Frank Coyle/ Head scout

Seventeen prospects have accepted invitations to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which begins at 8 p.m. ET on April 24. The group includes three of the top quarterbacks in this year’s class and one of the most fascinating draft prospects in recent memory. QB Cam Ward is expected to hear his name called #1 overall by the Tennessee Titans and will be at the event in Green Bay. He heads a trio of QBs in attendance, including talented SEC passers, Jaxson Dart (Mississippi) and Jalen Milroe (Alabama).

Among the 17 attendees are nine offensive players, seven defensive prospects and one unique two-way blue chip prospect, Travis Hunter of Colorado. Hunter won the Heisman Trophy playing both sides of the ball — excelling at wide receiver and cornerback and probably lines up at both positions in the NFL.

The Heisman runner-up, Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, will also be in attendance. Jeanty, who ran for 2,601 yards last season, is seeking to join Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson as the only running backs drafted in the top 10 since 2018.

Three of the highly touted talents at wide receiver — Hunter, Texas’ Matthew Golden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan — will be in Titletown for this year’s draft. They head a deep group of receivers which probably will provide the most draft selections over the seven rounds. The offensive line will be represented by Alabama’s Tyler Booker, LSU’s Will Campbell and Ohio State’s Josh Simmons. Most of the 17 prospects will be selected on the first round, though a couple may have to wait until day two to hear their name called. It always create drama as the 32 selections are made to see if all know their pro destination. Regardless, any remaining player will probably go very early in the 2nd round and still a core member of their new club.

Travis Hunter of Colorado is the only prospect in Draft Insiders’ history to rank at two positions. He is both the #1 receiver and #1 cornerback – an amazing feat considering that each position is one of the premier groups in the NFL. Hunter is unrivaled with players to compare to overall. At wideout, we compare him to John Jefferson is size, athleticism and overall development. As a cornerback we compare him to Champ Bailey who saw some actioin at receiver and returner. He did not average anywhere near 110 snaps per game like Hunter. Truly a generational prospect and capable of being an impact regular performer on both sides of the ball. He has been our #1 overall prospect since last August and we never considered moving him down at any time.

Positional Overview: With the evolution of the expanded NFL passing game over the past decade, receivers have become the dominant performers in a pro-offense. At this year’s NFL Combine, another record number of receivers (26) ran sub 4.5 forty times. Matthew Golden led the class with a blazing 4.29 time, though it fell short of the new NFL Combine record an amazing 4.21 sprint by Xavier Worthy during last year’s combine. Nine other players ran sub 4.4 times as the advanced training methods produce new manufactured speed. This year’s group is an exceptionally deep and a quality class which may rival the best of recent classes. This is a very strong group from the top ten through the middle rounds. This deep class has many blue and red chip prospects. This class has the talent and depth at the position to be a bumper crop which should produce many new NFL starters and a record number of overall selections. This position could provide many playmakers with as many as 5-6 with 1st round choices. The top four prospects, Travis Hunter, Tetairoa McMillan, Matthew Golden and Luther Burden are playmakers at a high level of development to provide rookie impact. Each is rated as 1st round receivers. Hunter is a multi-position blue chip athlete at both wideout and cornerback. He is unrivaled as a two-way prospect with elite skills on both sides of the ball. Another receiver Emeka Egbuka is a possible 1st round pick after strong 2024 performance. The top 100 could provide a new record of prospects with 15+ chosen. Unheralded prospects, Jayden Higgins, Jack Bech, Isaiah Bond and Jalen Royals are all potential early NFL starters with above average developed skills. Probably 35+ receivers could go over the seven-round event. The underclassmen will once again play a huge factor here. There are a few fast-rising prospect like Jaylin Noel and Kyle Williams are moving up quickly off impressive postseasons. There will be many rookie FAs who carry make it grades entering camp and most likely practice squad members.

NFL Draft 2025 – Cornerback Class A

Cornerbacks – Top 40 Prospects – Grade: A

Positional Overview:
This year’s cornerback class is a high-quality group which is very deep and especially top heavy with a few premier prospects. There are a few blue chips expected to go in the ton ten selections. Travis Hunter is our #1 overall prospect with rare talent and impact at two positions. He will go in the top 4 prospects in the 1st round. Will Johnson shows prototypical skills and is expected to go in the top 10-12 overall selections. Underclassmen dominate our top ten prospects, though the senior group is a very solid with nice development. Jahdae Barron is a developed versatile prospect and probable mid-first round selection. He could be selected in the top 10 overall picks with a rookie starting grade. Maxwell Hairston has the skill set to start early and is NFL ready after an awesome final performance and NFL Combine effort. He probably goes in the later 1st round area. Shavon Revel Jr. and Benjamin Morrison are highly regarded defenders who missed extensive time in 2024 to injuries which cost them 1st round grades. They most likely go on the 2nd day and great value for clubs. Azareye’h Thomas is another in a long line of FSU corners to enter the NFL. He is a physical cover man with the NFL makeup to excel on the outside. Trey Amos has prototypical shutdown skills for the pro game. He is rising fast and could earn a late 1st round selection. Darien Porter, Dorian Strong and Nohl Williams are rising cover men with well-developed talent to press for early starting time. Both Jacob Parrish and Denzel Burke are battle tested and figure is coming off an impressive career finish. Parrish is one of the best ball hawks in this class and has the length DCs like in outside defenders. Both are well developed athletes who are NFL ready. Bihlal Kone, Caleb Ransaw and Jordan Hancock are coming off impressive final performances plus strong postseason workouts. They could go early in the 3rd day. This is a deep group that will supply many NFL starters well into the 3rd day of the process. There could be at least 12 prospects selected in the top 100 choices. There will probably be 15+ prospects selected in the top 150 picks with the expected run-on corners from the mid-1st round through the early 3rd day. This class has very good depth and will provide a number of middle round steals. This position has annually provided the most overall selections and could duplicate that again. This group could supply as many as 35 total drafted prospects and another 40 high priority FA. This deep crop will supply a huge group of big corners with some versatility to also slide to safety in the nickel and dime sub packages.

Quarterbacks
Positional Overview:

This year’s QB class is an average group with the top two prospects expected to be selected in the top ten picks. Cam Ward is an outstanding looking prospect with accuracy, mobility, and a very high level of development. His complete skill set elevated him to the top of the class by far as the most NFL ready prospect. Shedeur Sanders is a fast-rising prospect after an amazing career at Colorado. He did not complete during the postseason when he sat out both the East-West and NFL Combine weeks. He was considered a guaranteed top ten selection, but that could be in jeopardy with a few clubs scared off by his lack of participation. He is clearly the biggest enigma in this draft class. Jaxson Dart has an excellent skill set and had impressive weeks at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He could surprise and get selected in the mid-1st round. Kyle McCord is a rising prospect off an excellent 2024 performance and postseason. He flashed blue-chip talent with a strong arm and good mechanics. He is one of the fastest rising prospects in this draft class and could move into the early rounds with the pressing need at the position. Tyler Shough is a hot prospect off his fine Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He shows a very strong arm with good footwork along with fine leadership and playmaking talent. Veterans, Jalen Milroe. Quinn Ewers and Will Howard have won a lot of games and titles over their careers. All have strong arms and running skills with the fast decision making and delivery to make consistently sound plays. Riley Leonard looked sharp at the Senior Bowl which impressed many scouts. He has shown fast development at the position and is a long-term gem. Seth Henigan and Kurtis Rouke are sleepers and can surprise if they land in the right coach/system. Both have had fine success and shown NFL talent with development. They could be major surprises in the right setting. Good group at top with 10-12 prospects chosen over the 3-day event. Expect 8-9 prospects chosen in the top 100 selections.

Quarterbacks

1 Cam Ward #1 – Miami 6-2, 220 – Sp. 4.60 Rating 90
NFL Comparison: Jordan Love

Gifted athletic four-year starter at three schools excelled in his only season with the Hurricanes. Earned first team ACC honors in 2024 after an excellent two-year career at Washington State. Quality athlete with strong arm, quick feet and good mechanics to make all the throws. Developed well in the Washington State advanced passing game designed originally by former HC Mike Leach which accelerated his development tremendously after starting Incarnate Word and putting up elite statistics from his first season. Shows a quick setup with the ability to retreat well and set his feet while scanning the field. Moves well in the pocket under pressure with the ability to slide and create passing lanes. He has developed into a special passer whose arm strength, mobility, vision and accuracy allows him to make all the throws from a variety of platforms. Won Offensive Player of the Year in the ACC, throwing for over 4300 yards 39 TDs and 7 picks. Savvy leader with excellent vision and mobility to move in the pocket. Top arm talent with good power, a very quick tight release, fine accuracy and capable of throwing from the pocket or on the move. Very good mobility to escape the pocket and maybe more dangerous outside, throwing when improvising. His production improved annually despite the changing supporting cast. Matured well learning to deal with adversity and maintain his poise and lead the team. Good size (just under 6’2”) and frame (219) and reliable durability to be available weekly. Tough in the face of pressure to make the difficult throw. Highly probable 1st QB and overall pick who excels on big stage with few mistakes and top results. At his pro day, he put on a display of throwing, movement and versatility. He displayed a strong arm with a compact delivery and quick release. Dropped the ball in the bucket on the deep ball and showed power and accuracy on the intermediate throws. Good movement in the pocket and made fast adjustments on the move. Clear #1 overall QB in this class. If he was in last year’s draft class, he would be #5 or 6 at best. With the top three teams this year all seeking a starting QB, he will hear his name called early. Titans looking to get a contract signed prior to the NFL Draft. Excellent RPO passer with ceiling and early quality starter. Expected #1 pick.
Draft Projection: 1st Round – Top overall Selection

Top Running Backs for NFL Draft 2025

Frank Coyle/ Publisher

The running back position made an incredible comeback in 2024 with several high profile NFL runners switching teams and having breakout seasons. NFL veterans Saquan Barkley, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon and Tony Pollard all left in Free Agency and made major impact on their new offenses with all producing impressive numbers and becoming key performers on playoff clubs, except for Pollard. The position has been diminished over the past decade with virtually all performers failing to obtain a second contract, even after getting the Franchise tag for one season. Barkley and Henry were the key catalyst on the Eagles and Ravens run to the Conference championship games. Barkley hopes to complete his season with a final performance in Super Bowl LIX vs the Kansas City Chiefs.

This year’s rookie running back class is a strong group with at least one prospect, Ashton Jeanty expected to be selected in the first round. Several other runners, Johnson, Hampton, Sampson and Skattebo are expected to be chosen on the 2nd day of the draft process and in the top overall 100 selections. Expect many surprise NFL runners chosen in the final rounds with a few winning starting jobs over their careers. Running backs usually make a quick impact in the NFL where their natural talent rise quickly to the occasion and win key roles in an NFL offense.

2025 NFL Draft – Underclassmen

2025 NFL Draft – Underclassmen List

Fifty-five players granted special eligibility for 2025 NFL Draft.

The NFL announced on Thursday the names of 55 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2025 NFL Draft and 15 underclassmen who have fulfilled their degree requirements with college football eligibility remaining and are also eligible for selection in the draft. The 2025 draft is scheduled to be held April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Twenty-five players applied for special eligibility prior to the newly instituted early “soft” deadline of Jan. 6, which was added to assist players and all-star game organizers in the planning and invitation process. Thirty additional players submitted their petitions prior to the traditional deadline of Jan. 15 to apply for special eligibility for the 2025 draft. This list does not include players that are playing in the FBS National Championship Game on Jan. 20. For those players, a “Championship” deadline of Jan. 24 has been added.

Each of the 55 players listed below have met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility by submitting written notification to the league office on or before the Jan. 15 deadline. Consequently, they are eligible for selection:

Additional prospects can enter the NFL Draft 2025 after the CFP title between Notre Dame vs Ohio Stat game Monday Jan. 20th. They have until Jan. 24th to decide if they want to enter the NFL Draft 2025.

2025 NFL Draft Declared Underclassmen

Frank Coyle/ Head scout and Staff

The current class of underclassmen have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft at the Jan. 15 deadline. This initial group is a small class with additions expected after the CFP title game on Jan. 20^th. Both Notre Dame and Ohio State could provide another strong group of athletes for the NFL Draft. CFP players will have until Jan. 24th to enter the draft process.

Recent classes of underclassmen have been small groups due to an extra year of eligibility from COVID-19, in addition to the NIL system of endorsement money which has allowed players to be paid with many transferring in the busy transfer portal. The transfer portal has two periods this year, one concluded in December 2024 and another prior to the NFL Draft in mid-April 2025.

The current class could exceed 90 prospects once all deadlines have been passed and confirmed prospects have been verified. Many prospects from the skilled positions is on the list along with defensive front seven players. The NFL office will provide an official Underclassmen list after all deadlines and summit requests for entry.

NFL Supplemental Draft 2024 Cancelled

NFL tells teams it won’t hold Supplemental Draft this year.

The NFL informed its teams last week that it will not be holding a Supplemental Draft this year. It’s the fourth year out of the past five in which the league has elected not to hold a supplemental draft, which is the league’s right under the collective bargaining agreement.

Last year, the league broke a three-year run of not holding the supplemental draft, only two players were eligible, and neither was selected. The last player selected in the supplemental draft was Jalen Thompson by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round in 2019.

The supplemental draft, when it occurs is held for players who for one reason or another were not eligible when the April draft was held. It runs for seven rounds, and any team making a selection forfeits its pick from the corresponding round in the next year’s April draft.

Bernie Kosar, Dave Brown, Cris Carter, Rob Moore, Terrelle Pryor and Josh Gordon are among the NFL players who have entered the league via the supplemental draft. Recent years have seen different routes to the NFL with players having options to add additional seasons (Covid), easy transfer and NIL payment. These conditions may negated the supplemental draft with players having multiple options.

The NFL Supplemental Draft will probably be dropped in the future collective bargaining agreement.

Big body wideout complete a breakout performance in 2023, earning first team SEC honors. Coupled with star QB Jayden Daniels to form an amazing tandem with receiver Malik Nabers. Thomas totaled 17 receiving TDs for over 1100 yards and a 17.3 yard average per catch. Large strong frame to fight off coverage and tacklers, though the burst to separate quickly and get deep consistently. At the NFL Combine, he ran a 4.33 time with a 1.50 ten-yard split. That speed translated very well to the field and his initial burst is very deceptive to create early on the play. Strong body allows him to post up cover men, along with the burst off the line to be a threat in the deep game. His speed presses coverage where his size also becomes a matchup problem. Dangerous on the go and intermediate routes. At times, he can also gather too much at the breakpoint. Shows strong reliable hands with a big radius to win contested balls.

Shows top speed (4.34) with a quick initial burst which allows him to separate consistently from cover men. Long frame and tough over the middle and in any 50/50 ball situations. Earned invitation to the NFL Combine and was very impressive with 39” VL and 11’4” BJ along with 4.34 sprint. Prototypical skill set and his ability translates well to the field. Top leaper with potential #1 receiver talent, though not completely developed after two stops and limited reps. Needs work on refining his route running and defensive recognition. Learning to use his big frame more effective on contested passes to secure the ball consistently. Though at a nice LOD, he has further refinement before ready to earn starting time. Type with big ceiling, though faces an early learning curve. Possible surprise #1 pick, though more a good 2nd round value who can pay big dividends in time. Top 40 prospect with impact ability in the right setting and alignment.

Savvy speedy playmaker completed an unheralded, though productive career in the deep Bulldog receiving corps.

He is exceptionally quick at the breakpoint with crisp footwork to separate very well to provide a sure target. Soft natural hands with the ability to extend and make the tough catch. Explosive on the snap to pressure coverage and eat up the cushion with sharp cutting skills. He retains his 4.4 speed and it translates well to the field. His quick footwork beats man coverage regularly especially if he comes clean off the line. Expanded receiving game and runs a complete route tree from different positions. Good running skills with the instant acceleration to hit a seam and break a long gainer. Must continue to get stronger to win contested balls and break tackles. Type with the deceptive speed to surprise secondaries. Capable of working the slot and outside with a very high level of development to help day one. Needs improved strength to prove durable in the NFL, though played 39 games over short three seasons. Impact weapon gives a passer an uncanny target to move the chains and make the critical play.
