The 2025 NFL Draft Top 300 Big Board is far from final, with all-star bowls, the NFL Combine, and pro days yet to commence. Nevertheless, 1-on-1 drills and physical measurements only add details to the larger picture already painted by the film. So, which prospects comprise the Top 300?
Who Are the Top 10 Prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft?
10) Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Kelvin Banks Jr. stepped off the plane in Austin and immediately shined at left tackle, particularly in pass protection. The former five-star recruit has lived up to his billing and then some, and after three straight years of linear progression, he should be a top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Banks is a rare tackle prospect, standing 6’4″, 324 pounds, with nearly 35″ arms. His dense frame, leverage, and reach can disrupt opponents’ pass-rush plans with ease and should translate to the NFL level.
9) Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Since 2022, Malaki Starks has registered six INTs and 17 PBUs, highlighting his playmaking ability in coverage. But he’s also one of the best tacklers in the nation and revels in crashing the box and forcing negative plays for the offense.

Versatility is king on defense, and that just so happens to be Starks’ middle name.
8) Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Will Johnson could’ve started in the NFL last season — that’s how good he is. At 6’2″ and 202 pounds, he has all the physical tools to be a shutdown corner (two pick-sixes), not to mention his easy-to-see intangibles: competitiveness, patience, and high football IQ to recognize route concepts.
Injuries cut Johnson’s 2024 season short, but he’s still a top-10 prospect in the draft.
7) Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Will Campbell has started at left tackle since his true freshman season in 2022 and has never looked back. The 6’6″ and 325-pound OT is a mauler in the ground game and allowed just four sacks across 1,500+ pass-blocking snaps in his career.
He’s balanced, has strong hands, and is explosive off the ball with the range to pull in the run game and mirror twitchier edge rushers. Don’t let the “shorter than you’d like” arm-length discussions distract from his OT1 film.
6) Cameron Ward, QB, Miami
If there is one QB I’m hanging my hat on as a general manager, it’s Cam Ward.
A Heisman finalist, he was the most electrifying QB in college football. With seemingly every arm angle at his disposal and unmatched, low-effort velocity, he’s a playmaker in the purest sense. Add in his impressive athleticism, dense frame that can shrug off weaker sack attempts, and unwavering confidence, and you’ve got the makings of a future face of the franchise.
Still, Ward’s desire to create magic often works against him. He has a penchant for cross-body and cross-field throws into traffic, and his decision-making inside the pocket can be suspect when plays break down.
His biggest challenge, however, is staying on schedule — both within the confines of the offense and with his mechanics. Not only is his footwork rather erratic, but he often drifts in the pocket. Ward also lives and dies by the big play, and while he’s a better athlete with a bigger arm, his overall game mirrors that of Zach Wilson.
With time to sit behind a veteran signal-caller and refine his approach, Ward’s ceiling towers over the rest of the 2025 class. The key will be patience, but the potential reward is that of a longtime QB1 willing to make the throws that win big games.
5) Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Saquon Barkley was an athletic marvel. Bijan Robinson’s role at Texas elevated him into rarefied air. Yet, neither was as complete as Ashton Jeanty coming out of college. If you ignore his amusement park height restriction (5’9″), Jeanty has no real weaknesses.
In 2023, he led all running backs in receiving yards, showcased elite awareness in pass protection, and demonstrated a vision that could only be described as upper echelon. Whether stringing together Marshawn Lynch-style broken tackles or breaking away with his explosive long speed, Jeanty is the complete back.

He quite literally carried the Boise State Broncos to the CFP, and while the offensive line has done its job, Jeanty has had no issue creating his own holes.
With a compact frame, low center of gravity, soft hands as a receiver, playmaking ability in the open field, and the physical prowess to shed arm tackles and cut through the line like butter, Jeanty is a top-10 overall prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft.
4) Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
With Noah Fifita slinging him the rock, Tetairoa McMillan exploded for 1,402 yards and 10 scores last fall and came right back for another 84-1,319-8 receiving line this year.
The 6’5″, 210-pound skywalker obviously has contested-catch appeal due to his size and length, but he is actually quite flexible as a route runner — watch McMillan’s Week 1 tape vs. New Mexico to glimpse his ceiling (10-304-4 line).
McMillan is smooth and technical as a route runner, has long strides that eat up space, and owns goalie glove-sized hands that make footballs disappear like few others.
Is he a bona fide NFL No. 1? No, largely due to his lack of post-catch creativity and true explosiveness. But McMillan doesn’t need either trait to succeed on the outside and should have no issue moving the chains routinely in the league.
3) Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
It’s difficult not to compare Abdul Carter to former Penn State great Micah Parsons since they took a similar career path (LB to full-time EDGE) and wear No. 11. But Carter is what the late Kobe Bryant called a “different animal and the same beast.”
With top-tier bend and burst, you’ll often see offensive linemen hold Carter off the edge. Even still, he’s able to get home with impressive hand usage and a red-hot motor. Oh, and he has the athleticism to drop into coverage or rotate as an off-ball LB!
2) Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Mason Graham moves like a man 20 pounds lighter but possesses the heavy hands to club offensive linemen and jolt them backward. His lateral quickness and first-step explosion make him a nightmare to handle against the run.
Graham may be the single most dominant player in the country, but Michigan’s rotation and the elite talent around him hold him back from producing jaw-dropping numbers.
1) Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado
The biggest question on draft analysts’ and fans’ minds is, “Will Travis Hunter play both ways in the NFL?” In short, yes. But the two-way star is assuredly going to start on one side of the ball *cough* CB *cough* and moonlight on the other.

While Hunter’s fluid mobility, ball skills, and elite athleticism translate best at corner, he has the skill set to see 10-20 snaps on the offense side of the ball. Hunter quite literally makes plays that no other player can, and playing two positions didn’t cap his output either (74-911-9 receiving line; three INTs and eight PBUs).
