Top Ten 2025 NFL Draft Prospects

The NFL recently entered the offseason after a shocking Super Bowl result. For front offices, however, the season doesn’t end until after the NFL draft in April. For the next two months, scouts, coaches, and general managers will pore over film in search of finding their franchise’s next stars. Over 200 players will be drafted in April, but I’ve listed my top ten 2025 NFL draft prospects.

1. Travis Hunter, Colorado CB/WR

The Heisman winner is one of the most special athletes to enter the draft in recent memory. Whether he is primarily a cornerback or a wide receiver (I expect him to start at cornerback and play a smaller role on offense), Hunter will surely be off the board early in this draft.

2. Abdul Carter, Penn State EDGE

Abdul Carter has the athleticism and skill to become one of the top five pass rushers in the league. I have concerns about his ability to defend the run, but his ability to get to the quarterback will make Carter a highly valuable prospect.

3. Ashton Jeanty, Boise State RB

Ashton Jeanty will be remembered as one of the most dominant running backs in college football history. Typically, running backs don’t get drafted in the top five picks. However, Jeanty’s unmatched contact balance and explosiveness may cause teams to break that trend.

4. Mason Graham, Michigan DT

When Michigan won the national championship in the 2023 season, Mason Graham was arguably their best defensive player. Just over a year later, he’s one of the top ten 2025 NFL draft prospects. Graham wins with his quick feet and technical ability in both run and pass defense.

5. Will Johnson, Michigan CB

I’ve got back-to-back Michigan defenders on my list. Cornerback Will Johnson has begun to slide down draft boards across the league due to concerns regarding his speed and lack of production in 2024. However, the tape from 2023 shows a potential lockdown corner.

6. Will Campbell, LSU OT

LSU tackle Will Campbell has been recognized as the top offensive lineman in college football for some time now. With questions looming about his arm length, some see Campbell as a guard at the next level. At either position, Campbell projects as a high-quality starter for the next decade.
