Tyler Warren is a playmaker who can be used in any scenario. Whether he is on the line or in the slot, he can flip the game on its head in any given play. His size poses problems for cornerbacks while his athleticism poses problems for linebackers.
Tuimoloau does well to use his length to his advantage at the point of attack. Initial burst and explosiveness helps JT create a certain power that is rare to see out of a prospect.

Shavon Revel Jr. is an athletic freak with the measurables to give any NFL wide receiver trouble. He boasts a sturdy frame that helps him on the boundary in the deep areas of the field and as a run defender. Revel is a ballhawk on the East Carolina defense and is a magnet for splash plays.

Terrance Ferguson had a productive career at Oregon before lighting up the 2025 NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis. This film breakdown shows all of his strengths and how can impact an offense on a weekly basis.

He proved that he can be a reliable gadget receiver with the shiftiness to play in the slot and the strength to play on the boundary.
Ollie Gordon came into the 2024 as the top running back in the 2025 NFL Draft class. However, a down year from him and a strong year from guys like Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton caused Gordon to plummet down rankings. I had to put the film on to decide for myself if he is more likely to be his 2023 version or 2024 version in the NFL.
Tai Felton has an NFL frame with the movement skills to shake any defender. He really impressed me on film as a true volume guy for Maryland's offense. He is used in all phases of the offensive game plan and the offense runs purely through him.
Jeffrey Bassa is a rangy linebacker with plenty of speed. He has an extensive coverage background as he was recruited to Oregon as a safety. He quickly became the leader of the Oregon defense and is poised to do that for an NFL team.
Shedeur Sanders has been in the public eye for years now. Whether it be because of his own special talents or his father, Shedeur has done well to embrace the limelight and improve his game while doing so.

Originally starting his career at Purdue, Nic Scourton really came into his own at Texas A&M. He is an elite edge rusher with plenty of speed and power to overwhelm offensive tackles. He has launched himself up big boards and is in conversations to be a 1st round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Quinn Ewers has been a highly sought-after quarterback since his early high school days. He is an elite processor and can diagnose defensive coverages before the play happens. If he can brush up on his mechanics and fully recover from an oblique injury, he will be an NFL quarterback.
Deone Walker is a mammoth of a human being. Standing in at 6'7, it is easy to see why teams would want him on the interior of their defensive line. While the Kentucky defensive lineman is big and makes his presence known, he is not without his shortcomings.
Josh Conerly Jr. has been one of the biggest draft risers in the last year. He combines athleticism with strengths and technique to make it nearly impossible for opponents to set the edge and get around him. He plays with a certain violence in the run game, finishing his assignments into the dirt.
Tyleik Williams was an unsung hero on the best defense in college football. He helped create interior pressure for Ohio State, allowing the edge rushers to feast on what he started. Not only does he have potential as a pass rusher, but he is an elite run defender. He has potential to take over the league as one of the best interior defensive linemen.
Malachi Moore has been the leader of the Alabama Crimson Tide defense for years now. A vocal leader on the back end, Moore often makes adjustments when he recognizes matchups he likes. Malachi Moore is the quarterback of the defense. He is a fast and physical player who has experience at nickel, safety, and linebacker.
Luke Lachey did not put up the same production as some of the other tight ends in the draft class. Whether it be due to scheme or injuries, there is no doubt that Lachey has the talent to be an NFL tight end. He excels as a run blocker, but also has a knack for finding open spaces in the field to wait for the football. Lachey will not go in the first 2 rounds of the draft but could be a diamond in the rough.
Josh Simmons spent the first few years of college at San Diego State before bursting onto the scene in Columbus for the Buckeyes.

However, a season-ending knee injury has led to questions about his readiness for the NFL.
Harold Fannin Jr. has had a rapid progression from his senior year of high school until the present day.

After being a preferred walk-on, Fannin became a star in 2024, earning consensus All-American and all-conference honors.
Kevin Winston Jr. has shown an extreme amount of progression since he got to Penn State. An injury early in the 2024 season prevented him from having the All-American year that everyone expected, but he still dominated every snap he played. Winston is a game wrecker and as long as he fully recovers from this injury, he will be a franchise cornerstone for an NFL defense.
Cam Ward is widely considered to be the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has plenty of physical tools to combine with his Football IQ to make for an interesting build. Ward needs to improve upon his technique in order to be a franchise QB, but that can surely happen.

As a run blocker, he does well to finish his first assignment with violence before moving to the second level. He has a strong core to set his anchor in pass protection. He absorbs contact from power rushers well. The concerns with Ratledge come in the form of injuries, he will need to prove he can stay healthy in the NFL.
Jalon Walker is an undersized defender who sees a large snap share at both EDGE and LB. He may not be able to sustain a full season in the NFL at edge, which is why I believe he would be a perfect coverage linebacker.
Omarion Hampton is a violent runner for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He gains yards the hard way but he can be relied on as both a receiving threat and a runner. He is the consensus RB2 in the 2025 NFL Draft and I break down why that is the case in this video.
Billy Bowman Jr. has put up elite ball production numbers for Oklahoma for his entire career with the Sooners. He can play a variety of positions but may be best suited as a nickel in the NFL.

Today I am reviewing two games of Ashton Jeanty's from the 2024 season: Boise St @ Oregon & UNLV @ Boise State Jeanty has season-defining moments in every game from this past season. In most other years, he would have won the Heisman Trophy in a landslide.
Kelvin Banks is an athletic offensive tackle who can get out in space to make a play. He moves well for his size and could be the most athletic player, pound for pound, in the 2025 NFL Draft class. He absorbs contact at the point of attack to stall rushes by the strongest of defenders.
Kenneth Grant is a college football champion for the Michigan Wolverines. Recruited and coached by Jim Harbaugh, Grant formed a formidable defensive line duo with Mason Graham. He set the Michigan record of pass deflections in a season.
Benjamin Morrison was a lockdown cornerback for Notre Dame. He is a physical boundary cornerback who can play above his weight class. He is one of the top cornerbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. I think he will be a 1st round pick if he tests well and adds some muscle.
Quinshon Judkins is a dynamic running back with the agility to make any defender look foolish. Starting his prolific career at Ole Miss with Lane Kiffin and Jaxson Dart, Judkins transferred to Ohio State to win a national championship.
Colston Loveland is a dynamic tight end for the Michigan Wolverines with sticky hands and the potential to hurt defenses with his legs. Colston has a large catch radius and even if he is thrown a bad ball, he can be counted on to reel it in. Colston won the 2024 college football national championship under legendary head coach Jim Harbaugh and with his QB JJ McCarthy.
Walter Nolen is a versatile defensive lineman who can succeed from anywhere along the line. Nolen’s primary position is the interior defensive lineman as a 3 tech, but he can play 1 tech or even edge based on matchup.
As a pass protector, Jackson is elite on the interior of the offensive line. He does not get backed up in pass protection as he anchors himself and his feet do not move backwards. Jackson gets wide and maintains leverage throughout the snap. Jackson showed a willingness to help his team win by playing left tackle when his team was plagued with injuries.
Campbell is a mammoth of an offensive tackle who has provided consistent dominance for his entire career. Campbell is not overeager to make first contact and instead sets his anchor, remains patient, and absorbs contact. Campbell is one of the more decorated linemen in the class and brings incredible experience into the NFL.
Emery Jones Jr. is a technical offensive tackle with size to take on the power rushers of the NFL, but the patience and technique to handle speed rushers. Jones sits back and lets the game come to him.

Tet McMillan’s combination of size and movement ability make him a near impossible assignment in a 1-on-1 situation. Route running is not usually a strength of the bigger X receivers in the NFL, but it is for McMillan. McMillan is going to be a star at the next level.
Malaki Starks is a ball-hawking safety who can make those splash plays on the ball. His athleticism and instincts make him a magnet for the football. He has the football IIQ to see plays before they happen. His tape is fun to watch as he gets involved in every facet of the game and is eager to put his footprint on the game.

Will Johnson has been one of the higher ranked players in the 2025 NFL Draft class for his entire collegiate career. Johnson had a dominant 2023 and was a shutdown corner when he was healthy in 2024. His skillset translates well to the pros but the injuries are a concern.
Travis Hunter is a generational athlete who can play both sides of the ball at an elite level. He has voiced his desire to play both sides of the ball in the NFL, but the question of if it is possible still remains. He will have twice the amount of opportunities than the average prospect to become a superstar due to him playing every snap.
Abdul Carter is the most disruptive and dominant player in the 2025 NFL Draft. Penn State put him in all different situations and alignments due to his versatility. His athleticism combined with strength proved to be a nightmare for offenses in the Big 10 this season.
