Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson is one of the best big-play backs in the class. Lateral explosiveness, burst, and elusiveness are scary.

Johnson was top 10 in the country in forced missed tackles this past season (68).

Not many backs in this class have the combo of size (228lbs) and straight-line burst that Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. provides. Strong Day 3 option.

Washington was top 10 in the Power 4 in runs of 15+ yards this past season (17).

The athletic upside of Arkansas QB Taylen Green is exciting. Dangerous runner who can make some dynamic plays as a passer out of structure.

Green had the most 10+-yard runs among Power 4 QBs this season (41).

Arkansas freshman Darius Acuff Jr. already has 22 points at half. The type of guard nobody wants to see in March. Absolute star.

Pretty easy to see why North Dakota State’s Cole Payton is such an intriguing QB prospect. Deep ball placement + mobility are dangerous.

Payton led the FCS in big-time throw rate (11.3%) and was fifth in forced missed tackles among QBs (39).

Yaxel Lendeborg is the best two-player in the country - blocks an open dunk from behind. Michigan’s defense is so ridiculous … just so much length.

The aggressiveness that Miami’s Keionte Scott plays with makes him an elite blitzer and one of the top run defending DBs in the class.

Scott led all CBs in the ACC in pressures (20) and run stops (19) this season.

The explosive YAC ability of Louisville’s Chris Bell is electric. His burst at 220 pounds is sick. Interesting Day 2 option coming off a torn ACL.

Bell was top five in the ACC in yards per route run (2.55) and 1st down receptions this season (45).

The short area quickness, ball skills, and body control of Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers makes him one of the best F tight ends in the class. One-on-one nightmare.

Stowers was No. 2 in the country among TEs in yards per route run (2.55) and 1st down receptions (40).

At his best, Baylor’s Michael Trigg is one of the most impressive F tight ends in the draft. Mismatch with his quickness, catch radius, and YAC ability.

Trigg was second in the country in forced missed tackles among TEs this past season (17).

Alabama’s Germie Bernard is a chain mover who does a great job finding holes in coverage and making defenders miss in space.

Bernard was top five in the SEC in 1st down receptions (42) and forced missed tackles on receptions (17) this season. Had just a 1.5% drop rate, too.

The big play ability of Tennessean’s Chris Brazzell II is hard not to love. So smooth at 6-foot-5, and tracks the ball supremely well.

Brazzell was top three in the SEC in yards per route run this past season (2.57).

Clemson’s Peter Woods (#11) has bright flashes on tape. So much upside with movement skills and explosive hands.

Woods was top five in the ACC in run stops (19) and run stop rate (10.1%) among IDLs.

For a team looking for a ball-winning X, Washington’s Denzel Boston is for you. One of the best 50/50 WRs in the class, thanks to his top-notch ball skills.

Boston had just a 3.1% drop rate this past season, with a 76.9% contested catch rate.

Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman is one of the best cover safeties in the class with his range and instincts. Reads this immediately for the game-winning INT.

Thieneman played over 1,200 coverage snaps in college, allowing just a 76.1 NFL QB rating.

The way Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion moves, both after the catch and through his routes, is electric. One of the best return men in the draft, too.

Concepcion led the SEC in 1st down receptions this past season (48).

The body control and athleticism of Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is absurd. Going to be a really fun F tight end in an offense.

Sadiq led all TEs in receiving TDs this past season (8) and was top five in 1st down receptions (30).

Penn State’s Vega Ioane (#71) is a people mover who loves to finish through the whistle. Tone-setter on the O-line.

Ioane didn’t allow a sack in his final two seasons with the Nittany Lions.

The patients, cover instincts, closing speed, and ball skills of Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy are tantalizing.

When he was healthy in 2024, McCoy was top 10 in the Power 4 in forced incompletions (12).

Auburn’s Keldric Faulk is full of potential. Massive (6’6”, 270), powerful, and explosive. One of the youngest players in the class, too.

Faulk’s production dipped this past season but in 2024 he was eighth in the SEC in pressures (45).

Miami’s Akheem Mesidor has one of the best pass rush plans of any player in the draft class. Deep bag that includes a cross-chop (first clip) and Euro-double swipe (second clip).

The Canadian was top 10 in the Power 4 in pass rush win rate (20.8%).
