2025 NFL draft rankings: Field Yates' top 50 prospects
We're getting very close to the 2025 NFL draft. Just a few more pro days, team visits and medical rechecks stand between us and Round 1, which begins April 24. We have a solid understanding of the board at this point, so it's a natural time to update rankings to reflect where things stand. Let's stack the top 50 prospects.
Remember that this ranking isn't representative of where I think players will ultimately get drafted. This is simply my personal ranking of how I stack the prospects based on their overall talent and what I see on tape. It doesn't factor in team needs or positional value. One point I want to hammer home: The variance between prospects as we get further away from the top of the board gets smaller. In fact, guys in the Nos. 25-40 range are all pretty much in the same tier.
Here is my updated ranking of the top 50 players in the 2025 class, along with the top names at every position.
1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 188
One of the most unique prospects we have ever seen, Hunter has rare versatility and a legitimate path to a Pro Bowl career as either a wide receiver or a cornerback. While my personal belief is that Hunter's ceiling is highest at wideout, I'm not agonizing much over where he will eventually end up -- he will be great on either side of the ball. His ball skills and instincts are outstanding. Hunter finished the 2024 season with 36 tackles, 4 interceptions and 10 pass breakups on defense, along with 96 catches for 1,258 yards and 15 scores on offense.
2. Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 250
The other player in contention for top prospect in the class, Carter is a masterful edge rusher because of his elite physical traits. He has incredible first-step quickness and can bend the edge extremely well. Carter brings versatility to the table, too, having also played extensively as a standup linebacker at Penn State. Carter's best spot is on the edge, where he racked up 12 sacks, 23.5 tackles for loss and 61 pressures in 2024. I love his acceleration off the edge, which will lead to many game-wrecking moments in the NFL. (Carter is dealing with a stress reaction in his right foot, but he will reportedly not have surgery.)
3. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 296
A havoc-wreaking defensive tackle, Graham put together a stellar career with Michigan that showed off versatility and tenacity. Graham checked in at 296 pounds at the combine, 24 pounds lighter than his listed weight on the Michigan roster. But at no point in watching his tape did it seem that his bulk impacted his game.
Graham showed elite run-stuffing ability (14 run stops last season) and disruptive pass-rush skills. He is strong at the point of attack, is willing to do the dirty work and has active hands that make him a brutal assignment to block for 60 minutes. He fires off the ball with great first-step quickness and combines that with an understanding of how to win with leverage. He has more pass-rush upside than his 3.5 sacks over 12 games in 2024 would suggest.
4. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Height: 5-9 | Weight: 211
Jeanty stands above the rest in a loaded running back class due to his combination of power, explosion, vision and contact balance. You can choose just about any running back stat to illustrate his dominance, but I love to point to his 88 broken tackles in 2024 -- 19 more than any other running back in the FBS. He finished with 2,601 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns (29 rushing, one receiving). Jeanty is an underrated pass catcher, too; he had 569 receiving yards in 2023, the most by any FBS running back that season.
No running back in this class comes close to his ability to make defenders miss in the hole, run through tackles, make decisive cuts and affect the passing game. We can debate the merits of taking a back early, but Jeanty is a top-five prospect on talent alone.
5. Will Campbell, OT/G, LSU
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 319
Campbell has the best footwork of any offensive lineman in the class, as he has excellent balance and body control to hold up as a standout pass protector. He also has three years of experience (38 starts), and he rarely allows his quarterback to come under duress. Only two sacks have been attributed to Campbell over the past two years.
Campbell's shorter arm length (32⅝ inches) will be talked about a lot, but I see too many elite traits for him to fall far. I'm still bullish on Campbell as a tackle, but his ceiling at guard is extremely high if an NFL team believes he needs to play inside. His ability to match and mirror opposing edge rushers gives him serious upside despite length concerns.
6. Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 219
Ward had a dazzling final season of college football, nearly taking Miami to the College Football Playoff, completing 67.2% of his throws and leading all FBS quarterbacks with 39 touchdown passes. Ward has a laser for an arm and the ability to throw from a litany of angles. He is a crafty innovator as a playmaker, a trait that shows up when opponents bring pressure. Ward must clean up his decision-making and work to get into his base more as a thrower, but his overall poise and fearlessness in key moments is unmistakable.
7. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 256
Warren had one of the best breakouts of any player in college football last season, with more than twice as many catches (104) and receiving yards (1,233) in 2024 than he had in three prior seasons combined. Warren is a force with the football in his hands, as his power helped him to 700 yards after the catch, third most in the FBS. He brushes off tacklers with ease, plays with great vision and shows sure hands on the tape. He's a huge factor as a blocker, too.
8. Armand Membou, OT/G, Missouri
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 332
Few players helped their draft stock this past season more than Membou. His tape flashed footwork, physicality, power and pass-protection traits that travel to the NFL. Membou was a force for Missouri all season, and that tape was matched by an excellent combine (4.91-second 40-yard dash). He's a very capable mover, and he allowed just five sacks over 36 career games (30 starts). Membou might wind up at guard, but he should at least be tried at tackle by the team that drafts him.
9. Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, Georgia
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 243
My grade for Walker is at edge rusher, though he played a significant portion of his snaps at inside linebacker for Georgia. Even in a part-time pass-rushing role, he tied for the team lead in sacks in each of the past two seasons (6.5 in each year) and uses his modest length to his advantage to get underneath opposing tackles. On a Georgia defense stacked with NFL players, Walker was easily the most impactful in 2024. He had 62 tackles, seven tackles for loss and a pair of fumble recoveries. And he has the juice to fire off the edge and disrupt the quarterback.
10. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 194
We didn't see a lot of Johnson in 2024, as a foot injury limited him to just six games, and he did not take part in the combine. He has excellent size and ball skills, with nine career picks. In fact, Johnson had two pick-sixes over his six games played last season. If there is a question surrounding Johnson, it would be his speed. But regardless, I believe Johnson's smooth reactive skills and elite nose for the football give him high-level upside.
11. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 248
Loveland has the traits to be the best pass catcher in an NFL offense, as he has excellent size and fluidity. He creates separation at the top of routes and will present defenses with a touch choice; he's too big for most defensive backs to cover and too quick for most linebackers to stay on. He is talented route runner with a quality catch radius and the ability to line up at a variety of different spots. Loveland produced despite a lackluster Michigan offense in 2024, posting 56 catches and 582 yards to lead the Wolverines in both categories.
12. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 219
McMillan had a great two-year run as the only FBS player with 1,300-plus receiving yards in each of the past two seasons (1,319 in 2024). He has great size and a huge catch radius to make the tough 50-50 catches. McMillan elected not to run a 40-yard dash at the combine, but scouts relayed times in the 4.53-4.55 range from his pro day, so there are still some questions about his fastest speed. But he runs great routes and is an explosive red zone target.
13. Mike Green, Edge, Marshall
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 251
Green led the FBS with 17 sacks in 2024, and he added 22 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles and 51 pressures. His excellent first-step quickness, power and deep arsenal of rush tactics (including a slick spin move) helped him become an unstoppable force for the Thundering Herd. While Marshall's schedule did not include a bunch of NFL-caliber offensive tackles, scouts saw Green more than hold his own against Ohio State (one sack) and Virginia Tech (nine pressures) last season. He also looked good at the Senior Bowl.
14. Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 267
I'll say it until the draft begins: Stewart is the most fascinating player in the class. While he had just 4.5 college sacks (exactly 1.5 in each of his three seasons), his physical profile is off the charts. Stewart's acceleration, length and power popped on tape and then really popped at the combine. He ran a 4.59 in the 40 and had a 40-inch vertical leap, showcasing his explosion. Drafting Stewart early is a bet on his potential.
15. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 315
Banks was a three-year starter for a high-profile program and protected future NFL quarterback Quinn Ewers at an impressive level. He allowed pressure on just 0.8% of his pass-blocking snaps in 2024, fourth best among all FBS tackles. And over 42 career starts, he allowed just three sacks. Banks is a solid run blocker with very good movement skills and light feet. And he has great 84⅜-inch wingspan.
16. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 212
Sanders is unequivocally the best pocket passer in this year's draft class, as he led the FBS in completion percentage in 2024 at 74.0% and threw 37 touchdown passes, second most behind only Ward. His ball placement and ability to throw with touch are outstanding, and he has a ton of experience (25 starts at Colorado and 25 more at Jackson State). Sanders also brings a fearlessness and toughness to the position.
He will need to clean up his pocket navigation, though. While he played behind a shaky offensive line at Colorado, he led the FBS with 42 sacks taken. But he has the traits to be drafted extremely early.
17. Grey Zabel, G/C, North Dakota State
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 312
Zabel had a brilliant career at North Dakota State, but -- like any small-school product -- the predraft process was always going to be instrumental in showing how he compared to the rest of the class. Well, he fits right in. Zabel was the most impressive player I saw at the Senior Bowl, and then he had a great showing at the combine. He's explosive, versatile and controlled as a pass protector, and he would be an excellent fit in a zone scheme where those traits are prioritized.
18. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Height: 5-11 | Weight: 194
There comes a point in an evaluation where you have to acknowledge that some guys are just really good football players. Barron might be the captain of that team in this class. He is versatile and instinctive as a playmaker, and he ran an impressive 4.39-second 40 at the combine. (Some scouts wondered whether he would be in the high 4.4s, but he made a statement.) Barron had 5 interceptions, 10 pass breakups and 67 tackles in 2024, a testament to his well-rounded game that should lend to a smooth NFL transition.
19. Donovan Jackson, OT/G, Ohio State
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 315
Following Simmons' season-ending injury, Jackson slid outside and stabilized the left tackle spot for Ohio State en route to the team's national title. He brings a blend of strength, nimble feet and a nasty streak that will make him a Day 1 starter at guard. The fact that he was able to kick out to tackle for much of this past season only adds to his value; he's one of my favorite players in the class. Jackson allowed four total sacks over 53 career games (40 starts).
20. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Height: 5-11 | Weight: 191
I like when combine numbers match the tape, and Golden's 4.29-second 40-yard dash (fastest of any offensive player) unequivocally does. This guy can scoot with the ball in his hands, but he also explodes in and out of his breaks and shows some of the best stem work of any pass catcher in the class. His body control and change-of-direction traits allow him to win both early in routes and at the top of routes. Golden was big for Texas down the stretch as the Longhorns made a push to the College Football Playoff semifinals, with 145-plus yards in two of their final four games.
21. Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 260
Williams truly wows at his best moments, as he has outstanding length (34⅜-inch arms) and can put that to use on the field to drive through linemen and swat down passes. Williams had just 14 sacks in three seasons (never more than five in a single year), but his pass-rushing traits suggest a higher output in the NFL. And remember, he played banged-up (ankle) in 2024, was part of a loaded rotation at Georgia and wasn't always asked to pin his ears back and just go after the quarterback. Williams has an explosive first step and brings power, bend and acceleration off the edge.
22. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Height: 5-11 | Weight: 183
Hairston has been one of my favorite prospects throughout the process, as he combines elite ball skills and serious speed. He was the fastest player at the combine, regardless of position, at 4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash. And in 2023, he led the SEC in interceptions (five) and recorded two pick-sixes in the same game. He has a nose for the ball, times pass breakups masterfully and can keep up with any wideout down the field with unique recovery speed.
23. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 235
As the quarterback of the Alabama defense, there was plenty on Campbell's plate -- but he thrived in basically every facet of his responsibility. He covers a ton of ground with his 4.52 speed, and his acceleration allows him to be a useful blitzer and occasional edge rusher. I see good range to hold up against the pass, along with the downhill force to make tackles as a run defender.
For a linebacker to go in Round 1, he needs to have legitimate "stay on the field for every scenario" value, and Campbell does. But Campbell also underwent surgery to repair his labrum following the combine, which makes pinpointing his draft range a bigger challenge. He finished his final college season with 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 12 run stops, 5 sacks and an interception.
24. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 197
Starks entered the 2024 season as a potential top-15 pick. That could still happen, but it feels less likely at this juncture after a quieter season (only one interception after three in 2023). Make no mistake, though: Starks has a compelling skill set. He can patrol the middle of the field, flex outside, cover the slot and also support against the run. He has the vision and speed to limit explosive plays on the back end, but he also has the coverage skills and agility to hang over the slot in man-to-man.
25. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 313
Harmon was at Oregon for only one season (after two years at Michigan State), but he made a significant mark in his time as a Duck with more pressures than any other defensive tackle in the FBS (35). Harmon has very good 34⅜-inch arm length and the strength to overwhelm blockers in the run game. He can rock pass protectors backward to collapse the pocket and stuff runners with effortless strength. Another trait that is hard to quantify but you know it when you see it: Harmon doesn't take plays off. His motor runs nonstop.
Harmon was excellent in two matchups against Ohio State this past season, with six total pressures and a forced fumble.
26. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 221
Hampton stacked back-to-back seasons with over 1,500 rushing yards and exactly 15 rushing touchdowns for the Tar Heels, serving as a central point of their offense. He is an imposing runner with great size and speed (4.46). He is an explosive play waiting to happen. And while it's a deep running back class, the combine helped Hampton separate from the pack as the next best runner behind Jeanty.
27. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 296
The NFL has prioritized defensive tackles who can really rush the passer, and Nolen fits the bill. He finished with 6.5 sacks in 2024, his first and only season with Ole Miss after transferring from Texas A&M. His explosive first step off the snap, active hands and power make him disruptive, and he can run through offensive linemen or rush around them with his suddenness and acceleration. He needs to be more consistent than streaky, but someone with his upside doesn't typically last long in the draft.
28. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 317
Simmons put on a show early last season for Ohio State, looking every bit the part of an NFL left tackle. But then he injured his knee in October and was knocked out for the season. He moves as smooth as butter and loves to get out in space to create explosive plays. He has outstanding feet that lead to elite pass protection skills. In 153 pass protection snaps last season, he did not give up a single pressure. If a team can afford to be patient as his knee recovers, it will be rewarded.
29. James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 245
Pearce's 4.47-second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis reminded of his high upside. He has such effortless movements, good power, rare burst off the edge and the ability to bend around offensive linemen to create pressure. He posted 17 sacks over the past two seasons, along with the second-best pressure rate in the nation in 2024 (19%). The best version of Pearce has a legitimate case to be in the same zip code as Carter as a pass rusher, but Pearce did not have the most consistent tape this past season.
30. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 220
There is nuance to this evaluation that goes beyond his measurables, but when you find a capable safety who runs a 4.38 in the 40 at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, you don't overthink it a whole lot more than that. Emmanwori has rare physical traits and made plays on the ball in 2024 that showed them off; he had a pair of pick-sixes on four total interceptions. He plays with great force as a powerful tackler.
31. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 311
Conerly had an incredible final season at Oregon, allowing just one sack and seven total pressures over 486 pass-blocking reps. He has great timing and placement on his punches in pass protection, though he lacks elite foot quickness. During his biggest test of last season -- facing Carter and Penn State -- he was excellent.
32. Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 248
Ezeiruaku was at worst a top-three pass rusher in the FBS last season, trailing only Green in sacks (16.5) and posting more pressures than any other player (65). He has excellent length (34½-inch arms) and relentless pursuit skills. Ezeiruaku also combines a savvy set of pass-rush moves (including a useful Euro step) to get around the edge, though he needs to be a touch sturdier in setting the edge. If it's an obvious pass situation, this is the guy you want rushing for your defense.
33. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 331
Grant is one of the stouter run defenders in the entire class. When he is at his best, he is very difficult for blockers to displace at the point of attack. And while he is not a major sack producer (just 6.5 over the past two seasons), he combined for 35 pressures from a defensive tackle alignment since the start of 2023. He is not going to be the first man home on most pass rushes, he takes up space that allows others to go to work.
34. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 202
Egbuka finished his Ohio State career as the school's all-time leader in receptions (205), a testament to his dependability. He might not have the elite size or speed that travels to the NFL, but he does not have a glaring hole in his game. Egbuka displays pristine route running, rarely drops passes and can play both in the slot and on the perimeter. He has steady after-the-catch production (6.7 yards after the catch per reception over his career) and immeasurable overall reliability. Scouts love his makeup, and he's a clutch player who should fit in well with an NFL offense. Egbuka had 1,011 yards and 10 scores in 2024. And he had at least five catches and 50 receiving yards in each of Ohio State's four College Football Playoff wins.
35. Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 223
After one year at USC, Dart transferred to Ole Miss and put together three prolific seasons, surpassing Eli Manning for the most passing yards both in a single season and over a full career in school history. Dart has the movement skills to throw on the run and scramble -- he averaged exactly 500 rushing yards per season for the Rebels) -- and displays solid arm strength. It would be no surprise if Dart hears his name in the first round. He threw for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions last season.
36. Tyler Booker, G, Alabama
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 321
Booker is an experienced guard with impressive 34½-inch arm length and 11-inch hands, which allow him to play an unmistakable brand of power football. He is a people mover and did not allow a single sack in 741 snaps played for Alabama last season, as he has the length and strength to control rushers at the point of attack. Booker is better suited to play in smaller areas or in a power running scheme, as opposed to a system that relies heavily on zone concepts and prioritizes foot quickness. But he has the tools to be a longtime starter at guard.
37. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 206
Burden's physical traits are undeniable, as the powerful and explosive wideout was one of the best players in college football in 2023 and especially thrived as a run-after-catch threat. Over three seasons, Burden averaged 7.0 yards after the catch per reception and forced 72 missed tackles. He ran an impressive 4.41-second 40 at the combine, too. But scouts have spent the past few months digging into his pedestrian 2024 season -- 676 yards compared to 1,212 in 2023 -- which could impact his stock.
38. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 214
Higgins has great 6-foot-4, 215-pound size and runs a 4.47, but he is much more than just physical traits. He's a baller who had 2,166 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns over two years at Iowa State (after two years at Eastern Kentucky). And he had a reception of at least 20 yards in 18 of his final 22 games.
39. Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 242
Schwesinger exploded onto the scene this season, earning first-team All-America honors with 115 tackles, four sacks and a pair of interceptions in his first year as a full-time starter. He has rapid eyes to diagnose play designs and is supremely fluid when dropping into coverage. He also has unique range and is a natural playmaker with the ball in his area.
40. Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 195
Few cornerbacks in this class are as comfortable playing man coverage as Amos. He has an excellent combination of size, speed (4.43 in the 40) and ball skills (15 pass breakups and three picks in 2024). Amos spent two years in the SEC after three seasons at Louisiana.
41. Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 257
Scourton played just one season at Texas A&M after two years at Purdue (the second of which he led the Big Ten in sacks as a true sophomore). While his sack production dropped to just 5 this past season, Scourton's impact was still frequently felt: He is a tone-setting run defender who also brings a nifty arsenal of pass-rush moves (including a potent inside spin). He is a powerful, thickly built edge rusher who can get underneath opposing offensive tackles.
42. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 202
Henderson is one of the most sudden and explosive backs in this deep RB class, as he averaged 7.1 yards per carry in his final college season and had a 20-plus-yard run in nine separate games. He has excellent lateral agility, and his open-field speed makes him hard to catch at the second and third levels of the defense. Henderson had 42 rushing touchdowns over 47 career games.
43. Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 219
Shough spent seven years in college (Oregon, Texas Tech and then Louisville) and will turn 26 in late September. But I still believe he has a real shot to be a top-50 pick because he can ball. Shough had impressive 2024 tape, as he's a very adept thrower on move-the-pocket attempts. He has some innovation skills and can threaten a defense with his legs enough to keep it honest. Shough had 3,195 yards, 23 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions last season.
44. Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 197
Bright spots were hard to find at Florida State in 2024, but Thomas was arguably the brightest. He doesn't turn 21 until July, so there's plenty of room for more development. He has the arm length and right mentality to play man-to-man coverage at a high level. In 2024, Thomas did not surrender a completion of more than 20 yards. And while he has just one interception over the past two seasons, he also broke up 17 passes over that time.
45. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 221
Judkins was the thunder to TreVeyon Henderson's lightning in the Ohio State backfield, as he has tenacious power and a bruising frame. Judkins excels as a between-the-tackles runner. He finished his career with 45 rushing scores over 42 games, and he cracked 1,000 yards in all three seasons (including two at Ole Miss). Ohio State did not need its backs to be the focus of the passing game this past season, but Judkins' tape at Ole Miss showed an array of receiving skills, too.
46. Jack Bech, WR, TCU
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 214
Bech began his career at LSU and blossomed at TCU after a transfer. He had 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine scores in his final season, relying on his very good acceleration and burst in and out of cuts, as well as some surgical route running skills. He averaged 14.1 yards per catch over his career. If I were with an NFL team, I'd be pounding the table to pick Bech.
47. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 251
While Taylor was never the unquestioned focal point of the LSU passing offense, he always made the most of the opportunities thrown his way (55 catches for 546 yards last season). He's a natural pass catcher, and quarterbacks seem to trust him in "got to have it" situations to move the chains. Taylor saw 81 targets in 2024 and registered just one drop; he has excellent hands. He is also a reliable blocker as an in-line tight end.
48. Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 305
Every time I go back to Alexander's tape, I become even more impressed. Alexander brings dominant power and length to the table, making life uncomfortable for quarterbacks as a pocket disruptor. His sack production (3.5 in 2024) does not tell the full story of his impact. And Alexander showed he can hang with top-tier prospects during an impressive week at the Senior Bowl.
49. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 250
Arroyo has tremendous physical skills that give him huge upside as a receiver at the NFL level. His 16.9 yards per catch was the best among tight ends in the FBS last season. Arroyo brings excellent speed to the position, and he has the ability to win in contested catch situations, making him a preferred red zone option. Arroyo caught seven TDs in 2024.
50. JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 265
Tuimoloau returned to Ohio State for the 2024 season with little to prove, but his dominant final season affirmed that he has an NFL-ready skill set. JTT has an advanced arsenal of pass-rush moves that helped him to 12.5 sacks in 2024, but he is also a rugged and disciplined run defender who is willing to do the dirty work to make life easier on his teammates. He was incredible during the College Football Playoff, recording at least one sack in all four games and totaling 6.5 over that stretch.
Prospects who just missed: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota; Jonah Savaiinaea, OT/G, Arizona; Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame; Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina; Oluwafemi Oladejo, Edge, UCLA; Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas; Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame; Jordan Burch, Edge, Oregon; Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
