2025 NFL Draft Prospects Video Profiles
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
5-9 and 210 pounds
Body Mass Index: 31.0
Scrimmage Yards Dominator: 42%
Ashton Jeanty is one of the top running back prospects who I have graded in the past decade. Over the last two seasons, the former Boise State runner has been one of best runners in the nation. In 2024, he scampered for 2,601 yards and scored 29 touchdowns. He won the Doak Walker Award and was named unanimous All-American. In addition, he finished second in the Heisman voting. At 5-9 and 215 pounds, Jeanty has incredible contact balance and gets better with more carries throughout the game. He is my highest-graded runner and a likely Top Ten selection in April.
RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
6-0 and 220 pounds
Body Mass Index: 29.8
Scrimmage Yards Dominator: 39%
I love big backs, and Omarion Hampton is the premier power runner in the 2025 Class. At 6-0 and 220 pounds, the former Tar Heels’ ball carrier explodes through holes and excels in traffic. Packing a punch, Hampton bounces off would-be tacklers and bursts upfield. As a junior last year, he recorded a career-high 1,660 rushing yards, bulldozing his way to All-American status and First Team All-ACC. He also corralled 38 passes for 373 yards and scored 17 total touchdowns. He posted back-to-back 1,500-yard campaigns in the past two seasons and leaves campus as the ninth-leading rusher in North Carolina history. Hampton surely collects first-round draft capital in the Draft.
WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
6-5 and 212 pounds
Yards Per Reception: 16.1
Team Aerial Dominator: 44%
I am old enough to remember when big, lanky and strong receivers dominated the NFL Draft before the league adjusted to elite separators under 185 pounds. An old school style prospect, Tetairoa McMillan profiles as a prototypical X-receiver with position versatility. At Arizona, he finished as the all-time leader in receiving yards with 3,423 in only three campaigns. He broke out as a true freshman in 2022 and established a school freshman record with 702 yards. Last year, he collected First Team All-American and Finalist of the Biletnikoff Award. For a big playmaker, he has fantastic feet, dominating on the boundary and deep down the field in one-on-one matchups. Without any reservation, McMillan is the cream of the crop among receivers in the 2025 Class.
WR Travis Hunter, Colorado
6-1 and 185 pounds
Yards Per Reception: 12.9
Team Aerial Dominator: 30%
I have had the privilege of viewing the greatest two-way players in college football history to capture the Heisman—Charles Woodson and Travis Hunter. I will never forget Woodson’s remarkable 1997 campaign. Yet, he was predominantly a cornerback who played receiver. Arguably, Hunter was a better wide out than cornerback last year. He corralled 92 passes for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns. At 6-1 and 185 pounds, the latest Heisman winner is an uber athlete with tremendous twitchyness, fluidity and speed. I decided to grade the former Colorado All-American as a potential receiver only to pinpoint his ceiling for Dynasty players. As the draft process unfolds, more insight into Hunter’s long-term potential will be revealed.
