Ultimately, the NFL Draft is a celebration. It represents hope for the future of every team and a dream come true for those players who hear their names called. For some players in person, they’ll also hear the song of their choice when they’re selected.

For 15 players attending the NFL Draft, they’ll have walkout songs as they go out onto stage to be introduced as a selection. As they do so, they’ll also be given their hat, jersey, and, of course, a chance to hug the commissioner.

No two players are going to have the same walkout song. Instead, they each chose their song and the entire list can be seen here:

Among the 15 different players, there are 10 different artists that players chose from. That notably includes four different songs by Gunna. Lil Wayne and Rod Wave also appear multiple times.

Cam Ward, who is widely expected to be the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, is one of the players who chose to listen to Rod Wave as they make their way on stage. In his case, the song choice is going to be Freestyle. Malaki Starks is the other player who chose Rod Wave, but will be using his song Get Ready.

Other notable players include Travis Hunter, who will listen to Let It All Work Out by Lil Wayne. Abdul Carter is set to listen to Bout My Money by OT7 Quanny. Then, Ashton Jeanty will listen to Clear My Rain by Gunna, featuring Leon Bridges.

The 2025 NFL Draft gets underway Thursday night with Round 1 from Green Bay. Rounds 2 and 3 will take place Friday, and Rounds 4-7 will close things out on Saturday. The hope for all of these players is that they will hear both their name and their walkout songs on Thursday night.

Cam Ward shades Green Bay ahead of NFL Draft

Ahead of the NFL Draft, Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward made it clear he doesn’t have much love for the host city. He’d share on video that he feels that Green Bay is both cold and lacks much of anything to do.

“Y’all see where we’re at, man,” Ward said in the clip. “We’re in Green Bay. Ain’t nothing to do here but get drafted. So, we gonna get drafted. Most of y’all know where we finna be at. Probably Nashville. Probably New York,” Ward said.

So, we’re gonna see, but, man, if I had some advice for y’all, bring your jackets to Green Bay. It ain’t sh*t to do here, and it’s cold as sh*t too. So, I’m out.”
