Travis Hunter, Tyler Shough Rise in 2025 NFL Draft

Travis Hunter, from Colorado, made history by becoming the first player to win major college football awards at both defensive and receiver positions, and he is aiming to continue playing both ways in the NFL. His performance and versatility have drawn comparisons to two-way sports star Shohei Ohtani, though some question the feasibility in the NFL. Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough has emerged as a leading prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, impressing with his 2024 season and overcoming concerns about his age and injury history. Shough passed for 3,195 yards and 23 touchdowns, showcasing strong arm talent and decision-making skills. The New York Jets are reportedly considering Shough for their seventh overall pick, and he has been ranked ahead of other top quarterback prospects by at least one coach. The 2025 quarterback class is viewed as less impressive than in recent years, contributing to the late rise of players like Shough.
