The NFL Draft is mere days away, and with all the attention beginning to circle around Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the cameras are going to be on the players. We all know the shot: the player who gets invited to the NFL Draft and then has the longest wait of all time before getting picked in the second round. It seems like this year, players and their representatives are being a lot smarter about that, and with the updated list of NFL Draft attendees, we see a few guys drop out.
Most notable among the dropouts is Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, who was a surprising add to the list in the first place. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders is also not listed among those attending the draft, but earlier this year he said that he was going to spend the draft with his family at home.
So, who all is attending the 2025 NFL Draft? According to Boston Globe’s senior NFL writer Ben Volin, here is the list:
- Tyler Booker, G, Alabama: I’ve seen Booker mocked late first round to early second, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the guy that ends up on your tv screen falling out of R1. Either way, Booker is a powerful guard with heavyweight boxer hands.
- Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama: Campbell is one of my favorite prospects in this draft. A true three down LB with versatility.
- Will Campbell, T, LSU: Despite concerns about arm length, Campbell is one of the safest prospects in the class. Can play tackle or guard.
- Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State: Carter is a terrifying blend of speed and violence who should go within the top four picks.
- Matthew Golden, WR, Texas: Golden is a fast riser in this draft process, a quick receiver who plays above the rim well for his size.
- Mason Graham, DT, Michigan: One of the safer prospects in this class, nice blend of technique and nonstop motor.
- Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky: The fastest man at the NFL Combine this year, Hairston is a late add who could end up going higher than people think.
- Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado: The best player in this class. Won’t be on the board past 5.
- Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State: One of the most incredible RBs I’ve seen on tape in my time scouting. His range is wide, however.
- Will Johnson, CB, Michigan: Despite not having testing numbers, Johnson is still my CB2 and could end up sliding to the perfect spot.
- Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona: Potentially the second receiver off the board after Hunter, McMillan is a smooth mover for a guy his size.
- Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama: The biggest wild card of this entire draft class, Milroe has elite tools. He has to be in the right system, however.
- Josh Simmons, T, Ohio State: Probably would’ve been the top tackle in the draft if he didn’t tear his patellar tendon. Smooth mover.
- Malaki Starks, S, Georgia: Don’t worry about the testing scores (which weren’t even bad). Starks is a gamer who can wear many hats for a defense.
- Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M: A terrifying blend of athleticism and power, but lacks production.
- Cam Ward, QB, Miami: The presumptive first overall pick. He won’t be in the green room for long.
