Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Writer, and Tod McShay, NFL Analyst, discuss top NFL Prospects for the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.

“It’s a terrible draft,” discloses Todd McShay at his self-named show (Todd McShay Show)
The Ringer’s full-time host of the Todd McShay Show, Todd McShay, says,
“It’s a terrible television draft. Outside of Shedeur(Sanders) and Travis(Hunter) and I guess Cam(Ward) at this point and a couple of other guys, it’s just not the same group that we are used to seeing at the top of the draft. I think it has a lot to do with NIL and the incentive NIL presents to stay in college, and still some leftovers from COVID-19 and then also, the transfer portal. This draft is loaded depth-wise. It’s not all positions, but I laugh because everyone’s like it’s a terrible draft.”
“There’s not a lot of superstars,” says Daniel Jeremiah about the 2025 NFL Prospects
The former personnel assistant of the Baltimore Ravens, Daniel Jeremiah, says,
“I summarized this draft by saying this is a starter draft, not a star draft. Go plug holes. Go find starters. You’re going to get really solid. There’s just not a lot of special. There’s not a lot of superstars. There’s a lot of supporting actors and character actors. I don’t know if there’s a lot of leading men.”
Top quarterbacks, according to Todd McShay and Daniel Jeremiah
“He’s so f**king chill,” Todd McShay describes Cam Ward
The former ESPN Analyst Todd McShay says,
“It’s almost like watching an electrical storm in the summer. It’s exciting, and it’s different. You’re also like, what did I just see? He(Cam Ward)’s so f**king chill. He’s so laissez-faire. There are certain plays where you’re like, does he know we’re in the middle of a game? Does he think it’s a 7 on 7? But sometimes, your greatest strength can be your fatal flat. He tests the water too much, and he’s casual. And of the guys we’re talking about, the ball pops out of his hand.”
“I think Cam is the ceiling guy, and Shedeur is the floor guy,” shares Daniel Jeremiah
The former West Coast Scout of the Baltimore Ravens, Daniel Jeremiah, says,
“You got all the cyborg quarterbacks in the AFC. That’s why I believe in the top of the draft, especially in the AFC, you have to chase the ceiling. If you get it, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’ve got to try keeping to get it. Settling for floor in the AFC just seems like a losing proposition. The growing list of cyborg quarterbacks- it’s ridiculous. I think Cam(Ward) is the ceiling guy, and Shedeur(Sanders) is the floor guy.”
“I’d go with Abdul(Carter) over Travis(Hunter),” reveals Todd McShay
The NFL Draft Analyst, Todd McShay, says,
“I’d go with Abdul(Carter) over Travis(Hunter) because I know definitively what I’m getting. When you set the bar that high with Micah (Parsons), it makes it easier in the same jersey number, same school. It’s the combination of his ability to change directions, the body control, he’s violent with every move, and with his hands, he’s explosive. He’s just a damn good football player.”
Top running back, according to Daniel Jeremiah
“He’s got vision, burst, balance,” shares Daniel Jeremiah about 2025 NFL prospect Ashton Jeanty
The former West Coast Scout of the Philadelphia Eagles, Daniel Jeremiah, says,
“I think he(Ashton Jeanty)’s clearly one of the 10 best players in the draft. He is as gifted as a runner. His contact balance is as good as anyone I’ve ever seen. When I was looking for comps, his comp is plinko chip from The Price Is Right. Guys just bounce off him. He keeps going. He’s got vision, burst, balance. All that stuff is elite. When you get all that background stuff, in terms of intelligence, work ethic, all that stuff is out of the charts.”
Top wide receiver, according to Todd McShay and Daniel Jeremiah
“His body control, flexibility, the ability to control, adjust, all that stuff is rare,” says Todd McShay about 2025 NFL prospect Travis Hunter
The American Football Television Analyst Todd McShay says,
“When he(Travis Hunter) gets the ball in his hands, it’s like a different animal comes out. Everything’s under control. He’s so smooth. His body control, flexibility, the ability to control, adjust, and all that stuff is rare. I think he’s a more advanced receiver and better receiver than he is a corner.”
“He’s improved drastically coverage-wise,” says Daniel Jeremiah about 2025 NFL prospect Travis Hunter
The former National Scout of the Cleveland Browns, Daniel Jeremiah, says,
“I thought he(Travis Hunter) was more impactful offensively just because he’s touching the ball so much. I saw that for two years. Last year, corner-wise and doing him over the summer, there was a little more raw, not as consistent. He was more on the impactful side offensively. He’s improved drastically coverage-wise from last year to this year.”
