The NFL has announced that 17 top prospects will be in Green Bay, Wisconsin for the 2025 NFL Draft. This year’s draft is going to be big, with some of the biggest names in college football walking across the stage at Lambeau Field. One of those is Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, listed as a dual-threat defensive back/wide receiver (DB/WR).
But here’s the twist: despite Colorado coach Deion Sanders announcing a public draft-day celebration for both Hunter and his son Shedeur Sanders, Shedeur won’t be in attendance. He’ll wait for his selection elsewhere.
Quarterbacks Headlining the Event
Three quarterbacks will be in attendance and all eyes will be on them as they could be the future of their respective teams. Leading the way is Cam Ward from the University of Miami who is expected to be the #1 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. Joining him are Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss and Jalen Milroe from Alabama who hope to make an impact on Day 1 or 2 of the draft.
Alabama and Georgia Lead the Pack
Alabama and Georgia lead the way with three players each. Alabama has three: Abdul Carter (DE), Jalen Milroe (QB), and Jihaad Campbell (LB). Georgia has two: Malaki Starks (DB) and Mykel Williams (DE). Michigan also has two: Mason Graham (DT) and Will Johnson (DB) attending.

Key Storylines to Watch
Travis Hunter’s Versatility
Travis Hunter is on the list and I’m so hyped. Listed as a defensive back and wide receiver, he’s one of the most interesting prospects in a long time. His dad, Deion Sanders, was going to have a separate party but Travis decided to attend the draft so he could be part of the moment on the biggest stage in football.
Shedeur Sanders’ Absence
Shedeur Sanders, another highly touted prospect, won’t be at the draft. His absence raises questions about his draft stock and how teams view him compared to other QBs like Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart.
Edge Rushers and Defensive Talent
Defenders like Abdul Carter (Penn State), Shemar Stewart (Texas A&M) and Mykel Williams (Georgia) will get a lot of attention. With pass rushers in high demand these guys could get picked in the first round.
Draft Schedule and What to Expect
The 2025 NFL Draft starts Thursday, April 24 with Round 1. Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday, April 25 and Rounds 4-7 are Saturday, April 26. There will be surprises, trades and tears as these 17 prospects (and many others) live their NFL dreams.
