2025 NFL Draft prospects and their league comps

A transfer from Washington State, Ward's season at Miami went as well as hoped and put him in possible position to be the No. 1 pick in the draft. He's an accurate and strong-armed passer, completing over 67% of his passes for 39 touchdowns this season and also has ability as a runner similar to Prescott.

As the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, elite athleticism is expected from Sanders. However, it's his throwing accuracy and timing that sets him apart, completing 74% of his passes this season. He's mobile in the pocket, but his running ability is more of a complementary skill than a primary feature of his game.

Milroe has all the athletic gifts with a strong arm and mobility, but he's never quite developed the feel to be an elite quarterback. While he completed nearly 66% of his passes this season, Milroe took a step back with 15/10 TD/INT. Running for over 700 yards, he still helped fuel the Crimson Tide offense. Milroe has starter upside in the NFL but needs more time.

Jeanty is having an incredible season with over 2,600 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns heading into the College Football Playoff. He has all the features of a future superstar in the NFL with breakaway speed, great receiving ability, and willingness to block. His impact could be similar to what Detroit has seen from Gibbs.

As a two-way player, Hunter's obvious comparison is fellow Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson. Unlikely Woodson, Hunter has a legitimate chance to be a regular two-way player in the NFL who could play every down if his team allows him. He's the best corner on the board and arguably the best wideout.

We see wideouts with McMillan's physical traits more often these days at 6-foot-5 with elite speed and hops, but the talent is still rare. He blows the roof off the defense, with over 16 yards per catch for his college career, and also has 26 touchdowns in three seasons as an elite Red Zone threat.

Burden took a step back in 2024 due to injury, but remains an elite prospect. He has great hands and run after catch ability, and Burden can also contribute as a punt returner.

Egbuka isn't the biggest wideout, listed at 6-foot-1, but there's no questioning his toughness. He runs through arm tackles and shows strong hands, with the ability to be a strong slot receiver and Red Zone target.

Warren is on the first round radar after a breakout 2024 season, with over 1,000 yards receiving. He has the speed to get open and separate, and the Nittany Lions found ways to get him the ball with 24 rushes and four rushing scores this season.

Loveland showed consistent growth in three seasons at Michigan, though yardage did decline this season without J.J. McCarthy. He has plus hands and Red Zone ability, and should also be able to step in as a blocker at the beginning of his NFL career.

Campbell is everything an NFL team could want from a first-round left tackle, and should be in the conversation at the top of the draft as a flexible tackle or guard. He's shown ability as an elite pass blocker and run blocker.

A productive player in his first two seasons, Carter might have jumped to the front of the pass rushing class this season as an All-American with 11 sacks. He has elite quickness, though his lack of height at 6-foot-3 could push him to a 3-4 defense.

Like fellow Georgia alum Travon Walker, Williams has plenty of size at 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds with elite strength. While productive in college with 14 sacks in three seasons, he could be even more productive in the NFL as he becomes more skilled as a pass rusher.

Walker is slightly undersized for a 4-3 end at 6-foot-2, but there's little questioning his pass rush upside. He had 6.5 sacks and 57 tackles during the regular season for the Bulldogs, showing elite speed and quickness.

Scourton's stock has fallen slightly this season, as his sack total was cut in half from 10 to five after transferring from Purdue to Texas A&M. Still, it will be hard to overlook his traits listed at 6-foot-4, 280 pounds. He has a chance to be an excellent edge power rusher.

The leader of Michigan's defense, Graham was highly productive in three seasons including 45 tackles and 3.5 sacks this year. He has ample size at 6-foot-3 with elite level pass-rushing skills on the interior.

Johnson has shown an ability to stick to wideouts like glue on the outside, and can also creative turnovers with nine in three seasons. He has ample size for man coverage at 6-foot-2 and is a willing tackler.

Revel is a natural comparison to Woolen is a huge cornerback at 6-foot-3 with elite physical tools. He played only three games this season due to a torn ACL, but made an impression in three seasons at East Carolina.

Starks is a do-everything safety who has a chance to be drafted in the first round. He's terrific in coverage and has also shown a nose for finding the ball carrier, with 73 tackles in 13 games this season.
