Travis Hunter will be the most discussed player during the NFL Draft process. The Heisman Trophy winner has been elite in two positions in college football, but whether he can continue to play two ways in the NFL is hotly debated. Either way, the elite athlete is likely the top overall player in the 2025 NFL Draft and possesses the best ball skills of any player available.
The Giants have created a massive quarterback crisis. The worst thing? Most saw it coming. This means that they will have to take a swing at the market this offseason, whether by paying a free agent or using the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They draft Shedeur Sanders, who has transferable skills and can start as a rookie. The Colorado quarterback has excellent pocket control and impressive throws on the move and also possesses the processing, mechanics, and field vision to have an impact in Year 1.
At 6’3″ and 318 pounds, Mason Graham is a powerful interior presence who can shed blocks and disrupt the passing and running game. His elite ability to clog up running lanes and collapse the pockets ranks him No. 3 on the PFN Top 100 Big Board.
Will Johnson has the all-around skill set and production to be a lockdown corner in the NFL for years to come. At 6’2” and 202 pounds, the refined Michigan DB is an elite prospect who has ball-hawking instincts, aggressive speed, and loose athleticism to be a fixture on the perimeter.
Thanks to his natural playmaking ability, Cam Ward has emerged as a top quarterback prospect at Miami. In 2024, he has kept turnovers to a minimum, throwing only seven interceptions. However, some puzzling plays on film still raise questions about his decision-making. Despite these concerns, Ward has a high ceiling, a strong arm, and the ability to create plays, making him a candidate for a top-10 selection in the upcoming draft.
If Tee Higgins departs in free agency, the Bengals will need to find an instant replacement to help Joe Burrow and the high-powered offense. Luther Burden III is a crafty, elusive receiver with the elite ability to find and exploit space. The dynamic, creative route runner has sharp acceleration and running back-esque field vision to be an electric YAC threat.
Jalen Tolbert may be enjoying the best season of his young career. However, the Cowboys still need to find another receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb — someone capable of taking over games. Tetairoa McMillan is an exceptional receiver, standing at 6’5” and weighing 212 pounds. The Arizona wide receiver boasts an impressive catch radius, fluid athleticism, and powerful physicality at the catch point, allowing him to win consistently when the ball is in the air.
Ashton Jeanty is one of the top overall prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, could his positional value and lack of top-end athleticism slip him down the board The Boise State rusher may not have the unique athleticism of Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson, but his skill set is complete. With some of the best vision we have seen in college football, Jeanty is a missed-tackle-generating machine due to his elite contact balance and low center of gravity.
Colston Loveland is a pass-catching tight end archetype who will have the most success out of the slot. Luckily, Sean Payton is the perfect play-caller to utilize the Michigan TE’s skill set. With the athleticism and route running to create mismatches, Loveland has the range and catch radius to be a go-to option for Bo Nix.
The rich keep getting richer. Isaiah Bond is an elite, explosive separator who has electric speed. One of the most agile receivers in the class, the Texas WR is consistently open and is elusive when in space. With fluid ball tracking and corrective route running, Bond’s elite acceleration would make the Eagles’ offense even more dynamic.
