The 2025 NFL Draft, held from April 24 to 26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, showcased a class rich in defensive talent and versatile offensive prospects. The Tennessee Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward from the University of Miami with the first overall pick, marking a significant milestone as Ward became the first zero-star recruit to be drafted first overall in the 21st century

A standout story was Colorado’s Travis Hunter, who was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hunter’s dual-threat capability as both a wide receiver and cornerback sparked debates among scouts about his optimal NFL position. Despite this uncertainty, he was widely regarded as one of the most dynamic talents in the draft.

Defensively, the class was highlighted by Michigan’s Mason Graham, who was selected fifth overall by the Cleveland Browns. Graham, a unanimous All-American and national champion, was one of several top defensive line prospects, including Penn State’s Abdul Carter and Georgia’s Jalon Walker.

Offensively, the draft featured a deep running back class, with Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty leading the pack. Other notable backs included Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins and North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton. The tight end position also stood out, with Michigan’s Colston Loveland being the first tight end selected at No. 10 overall by the Chicago Bears.
