2025 NFL Combine Results

The measureables from the 2025 NFL draft class are locked in.

The 2025 NFL combine is in the books for the fantasy positions of quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. The below results split each position into two. The first section are the players which are expected to be selected over the first two days (Rounds 1 to 3) and the next are the Day 3 players considering an averaging of current NFL Mock Drafts.

This draft class is different than last year. Quarterbacks are considered below average with many suggesting none of the current crop would be better than those five first-rounders from 2024.

Running Backs are a deep group with Ashton Jeanty a lock as the first back selected and another two or even three considered in the first round. There will be solid value into the third round if not beyond, so some teams may wait and yet not pay a price.

The wideouts are considered good, but overall a step down from last year when seven receivers were selected on Day 1. 2024 was a banner crop and this year is more regressing to the average.

This year’s set of tight ends are expected to produce several stars and is the strength of the draft for fantasy positions. Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland have a strong shot at first-round selections.

Shedeur Sanders wouldn’t be upset if Titans pass on him in 2025 NFL draft

NFL draft prospect Shedeur Sanders is predicted to go high in the draft, but he says he won’t be upset if the Tennessee Titans pass on him.

The Tennessee Titans played so poorly in 2024 that they earned the No.1 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. This means they get their pick of any player in the entire draft, and while the focus seems to be on the quarterbacks, some mocks predict the Titans will go a different direction with the top pick.

One of the top prospects in this year’s draft class is quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of former NFL star running back Deion Sanders.

The younger Sanders has already met with Titans’ brass, but he says he would not be upset if the Titans do not draft him with the top pick.

“Why would I be mad?” Sanders told ESPN’s Kevin Clark on Thursday. “These are good problems to have. You could be in a way worse situation. Being No. 1 doesn’t really matter to me. It’s all about fit.”

Sanders has been routinely praised for his maturity and level of understanding about how all of this works. He knows that no matter where he goes, it’s a team with a high draft pick so there might not be immediate success.

However, Sanders also has the benefit of his father by his side, someone who knows very well how the NFL works and how to make the most of opportunities. They aren’t just looking at the teams at the top of the draft in terms of the players on the team, but the coaching staff, the administration, how things are run, etc.

There is more to being successful in the NFL where you are drafted.

Shedeur Sanders expresses admiration for Giants coach Brian Daboll

Shedeur Sanders is a big fan of New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and feels they would have a very positive relationship.

The New York Giants will field a new starting quarterback in 2025 and it very well could be a rookie. With the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, general manager Joe Schoen may be blessed with a choice.

Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders are widely considered the top two quarterbacks of the class, and both could theoretically fall to the Giants, who spent significant resources scouting them this past season.

Of the two, Sanders appeared to have been given more face time with the staff, including head coach Brian Daboll.

During an appearance on the DNVR Buffs podcast on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Sanders expressed admiration for Daboll — both as a man and as a head coach.

“We ain’t practice it,” Sanders said of their handshake. “He got a different kind swagger about him too though — he was cool though, he was down to earth. He understand kind of how I am and who I am. And I understood him, also. As long as everybody go into a situation where I’m not going to believe anything I see online mutually then it will be a good relationship. You know?”

Sanders believes that positive relationship could yield quality results on the field. And although he’s only spent a limited amount of time around Daboll, he feels they gel.

“But if you go into a relationship with all these preconceived thoughts, it’s never going to work,” he said. “So you have to go into everything genuine and let people show you who they are and, to me, he’s a great guy, great coach and he’s definitely a man of his family, so I like coach for sure.”

If Sanders falls to No. 3 (or the Giants trade up), he firmly believes East Rutherford is his next destination. He’s hinted at it several times already this offseason and that does appear to be the trend.

What Browns GM Andrew Berry has to say about Shedeur Sanders

Hear what Browns GM Andrew Berry has had to say on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders:

There has been buzz about the Cleveland Browns and the potential selection of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders as the franchise’s new face, but ultimately, that decision will be made by general manager Andrew Berry.

His dad and head coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders, has already stated that he has spoken to the brass in Cleveland. He has indicated that he is fine with any of the three teams picking at the top of the 2025 NFL draft.

However, what does Berry think about Sanders as a quarterback? During his time in Mobile, Alabama at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, Berry spoke on the Colorado and potential future Cleveland quarterback:

“Shedeur is a really impressive young man… He’s poised, he’s calm, he’s smart and you can tell that he’s been raised by – quite honestly – a Hall of Fame dad. We’re going to get to know him even more over the course of the spring but he’s really impressive.”

It becomes a waiting game now as we still have three more weeks until the NFL Scouting Combine, where the top quarterbacks in Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward might not even participate. It is going to get noisy leading up to the draft.

Deion Sanders has already spoken highly of Browns quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, a former teammate of his, and Sanders is an ideal scheme fit in Cleveland as they return to their wide zone identity. There are no barriers between the Browns drafting Sanders if they want to. Unless the Tennessee Titans take him first.

Deion Sanders speaks on whether or not Shedeur Sanders would play for Browns

Deion Sanders has spoken with the Browns. And the results sound promising.

The Cleveland Browns need a quarterback, and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is seen as perhaps the top one in the 2025 NFL draft.

The big hangup, however, was whether or not Deion Sanders, the Colorado head coach and father of Shedeur, would meddle in his landing spot. Many wondered if Sanders, despite a tight fit with the scheme, would be open to playing in Cleveland as the new face of the Browns’ franchise.

However, it sure sounds like Deion has no issues with the Browns being the potential landing spot for his son:

“Sometimes we desire things that aren’t right from us. Whether he goes 1, 2, or 3, he’ll exceed all expectations. We weren’t praying that he would go 1, we were praying that he would go in the first round. Now he allowed me to understand that he wants to top his daddy. His daddy was the fifth pick. He wants to go one through four.”

It did not stop there for Deion either. He was also on the Rich Eisen show and even went as far as to say that he has already spoken with the Browns and the New York Giants, who hold picks No. 2 and 3 respectively in the 2025 NFL draft.

“I just wanna know… If you don’t get your ‘why’s answered, you’re gonna always be curious in life,” he said. “I like to get my ‘why’s’ answered because this is my guy. These are my kids.”

Tthe Sanders family, both Deion and Shedeur, are more than happy if the Browns were to select him with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft this upcoming April.

In need of a new quarterback, and one on a rookie contract at that as they navigate the difficulties of the Deshaun Watson situation, landing Sanders would be a massive win for the Browns.

Shedeur Sanders has cryptic answer when asked about Titans

Asked about the Tennessee Titans during Super Bowl week, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders offered a very cryptic response.

At the end of January, the Tennessee Titans sent members of their staff to the East-West Shrine Bowl in Frisco, Texas, to ramp up draft preparations.

Next to the Senior Bowl, the Shrine Bowl is one of the biggest college football All-Star games, and this one allowed the Titans to meet with one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL draft: Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders is widely considered one of the top targets to be in play for the Titans’ No. 1 pick.

Tennessee met with Sanders in an interview that gained a lot of attention because of social media reports that the meeting was hijacked by his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, multiple times. However, by all accounts, this did not have any impact on the session.

This week at the Super Bowl, the team at the Sick Podcast caught up with Shedeur and asked him about the Titans. What they got was a very short answer.

They asked Sanders if things were looking good with the Titans. His response was a simple, “I don’t know man.”

Fans shouldn’t read anything into passing comments like this. With the offseason still in its infancy, there are many conversations and evaluations that will play out in the coming months that will impact the Titans, Sanders, and the draft.

At this point, nothing has happened to preclude him from the list of potential top targets in April. He is one of the top quarterback prospects with the skill set to be successful in the NFL and the Titans could look in his direction if they feel he is the right fit for their rebuilding process.

Even if not drafted by Tennessee, Sanders will likely remain one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL draft and hear his name called on Day 1 of the event.

Malik Nabers wants Giants to sign capable veteran QB this offseason

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers had a ton of praise for Cam Ward but wants the team to sign an experienced veteran QB this offseason.

One of the few bright spots in the New York Giants’ otherwise disappointing year was rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers.

Nabers’ strong rookie campaign quickly made him one of the foundational pieces for the Giants to build around. What comes next and how they compile a roster around him is extremely important.

During a Wednesday appearance on PFT Live, Nabers addressed the team’s quarterback situation and what he’d like to see general manager Joe Schoen do this offseason.

“I would want to have a vet in there,” Nabers said. “If we decide to pick a rookie, in my eye I would want a vet to be in that same room with that rookie teaching him some stuff so when he’s out there — he’s not just out there in his head [thinking] he has to be the savior of this team. That’s a lot to put on a rookie.”

The Giants currently hold the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and it’s unknown if they would have to trade up to land one of the top two quarterbacks, or if they prioritize either Cam Ward or Shedduer Sanders.

Asked about the rookie class, Nabers said he had “no preference” but then shrouded Ward with praise.

“He’s comfortable when he’s back there,” Nabers said, via the New York Post. “He throws the ball in spots you’re not really supposed to throw the ball but he has a crazy arm talent. He’s mobile. I’ve seen him come back from some games [where] I’m like, ‘Nah, this game’s over with’ and he’s just dottin’. He’s very efficient. He has crazy arm talent.

“I feel like he’s a leader that wants to bring people along to win. I mean, you look at that Miami team through the years, without him their record wasn’t like that. You bring a guy like that on the team, you know, the record shows what kind of leader he is, what kind of quarterback he is. Having that on a team, that’s what you need.”

While the Giants may hope to land a long-term solution at quarterback in the draft, general manager Joe Schoen has also left a door open for a veteran quarterback.

The Giants will have plenty of veteran quarterbacks to look into this offseason via free agency or trade, including Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Sam Darnold, and Jameis Winston.

In a perfect world, the Giants would have a veteran quarterback come in and groom a young quarterback. However, if they miss out on a quarterback in the draft and select wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter instead, they suddenly become a very desirable destination for a QB given the young wide receiver talent between Nabers and Hunter.

In a crucial offseason for a current regime that Giants owner John Mara chose to retain following a three-win season, it’s going to be very interesting to see how they end up addressing the quarterback position.

Mel Kiper Jr’s latest ESPN NFL Draft Big Board reveals his top QB

Who’s the top QB in this draft?

This is always a good reminder that the best players available in an NFL Draft aren’t always the quarterbacks.

But because NFL teams need a quarterback to build around, they sometimes reach. And that means the best players on paper might drop. In the latest NFL mock from our Christian D’Andrea, QBs Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders go Nos. 1 and 2.

But on Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest ESPN NFL Draft Big Board, he’s got Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter and Mason Graham ahead of the two big-name quarterbacks. And who’s the top QB? That would be Sanders (No. 4) over Ward (No. 5). Here’s his take on the Colorado QB:

You won’t find a tougher or more resilient quarterback prospect than Sanders, who took 99 sacks over the past two seasons but still put up really strong numbers. I’m always impressed watching him throw on the move, rolling either left or right. He is very accurate in those spots and has the arm to drive the ball. When his mechanics and footwork are sound, he can pick apart a defense. And while he’s not necessarily a major rushing threat, he can keep the chains moving with his legs when there is an opening.

Intriguing! Make sure to check out D’Andrea’s latest mock draft.

Former Saints QB sees New Orleans as the best landing spot for Shedeur Sanders

It’s improbable, but former Saints backup QB Chase Daniels argues that New Orleans drafting Shedeur Sanders would be ‘the best situation’ for the high-profile rookie:

With the New Orleans Saints picking ninth overall, there is a better chance of Shedeur Sanders being off the board than available. The Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback is expected to be off the board in the first two picks.

In a fantasy world, however, The Facility’s Chase Daniel thinks Sanders being drafted by New Orleans would be “the best situation for Shedeur.” Daniels ran down the quarterback-needy teams in the top ten picks and acknowledged they’re all bad situations, the Saints included, but New Orleans is where Sanders could take his time and hit the field once the roster is ready to support him.

“So like any situation you go to — now I do agree, if you go the Saints, and you sit behind Carr for a year and Kellen Moore’s the head coach — I think that’s the best situation for Shedeur. Like, to not rush him. Not to say he can’t have success (right away),” Daniel argued. “The Saints, for me, make a ton of sense.”

What puts New Orleans above their peers is the presence of Derek Carr, and the anticipated addition of Kellen Moore. Daniels obviously respects Moore’s ability to build up a quarterback, but the greatest boost may be a veteran quarterback on the roster who Sanders could learn from.

Having Carr in the building gives Sanders a year to sit after being drafted. That could be a benefit a young quarterback by having an extra year to watch the game. Holding him back a year also gives you the chance to build a better supporting cast for when Sanders does step on the field. If Carr isn’t in the team’s long-term plans, they could more easily get out of his contract in 2026 with a high-profile backup ready to step into the huddle.

How much would it cost the Saints to trade up for the first overall pick?

How much would it cost for the Saints to trade up with the Titans to grab Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders? This B/R writer has the answers

The New Orleans Saints are still in pursuit of their quarterback of the future. Derek Carr is only an answer in the immediate future, maybe. Though he wasn’t able to win a game, the door shouldn’t be completely closed on Spencer Rattler.

What if New Orleans wanted to make a more aggressive move to get a young quarterback? Tennessee Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker said the Titans are “going to look at all avenues as far as that No. 1 pick.”

That leaves the door open for a trade. You only make that trade for Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders if you’re the Saints. You don’t trade up to the first overall pick for any other position.

Tennessee trading down to ninth overall isn’t likely, but Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton broke down what it would cost for the Saints to move up to the top of the draft.

Moton has New Orleans giving up a first and third round pick this year and a first and second round pick in the following draft. This is the furthest trade back Moton has the Titans making, so the Saints also give up the most compensation.

This is a little less than the trade the Panthers made to grab Bryce Young. They added DJ Moore to the mix while also giving up back to back first and second round picks.

Giving up that many picks would be rough on New Orleans. They have a roster that needs an insertion of young talent. Making this trade would hopefully give you the answer at the most important position, but could lead to you struggling to support him.

The Titans are unlikely to make a trade to the outskirts of the top-10, and New Orleans should be cautious of giving up too much capital to build the team.
