Abdul Carter

Abdul Carter, Penn State’s standout defensive end, sits as the second favorite at +500 to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, held by the Titans. Despite his explosive pass-rushing ability and versatility, a recent foot injury has raised concerns, and may have hampered his odds a little. Carter’s potential to transform a defense keeps him in the conversation, but he’s facing an upward battle to overtake Miami’s QB.

Travis Hunter

Travis Hunter, the versatile Colorado star who excels as both a defensive back and wide receiver, holds +3000 odds to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, owned by the Titans. Despite his Heisman Trophy win and rare two-way talent, Hunter is not the favorite to be drafted as the No.1 overall pick. His athleticism and playmaking ability has kept him in the conversation, but No.1 pick seems unlikely as the draft comes closer.

Shedeur Sanders

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s polished quarterback, carries +5000 odds to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, held by the Tennessee Titans. Despite his strong arm, and impressive college production, Sanders’ odds to become the No.1 pick is slim to none. Sanders went from a top projected pick to a player with a lot of uncertainty particularly because various coaches, and scouts are concerned about if Sanders can remain consistent in the NFL, and handle the top tier defenses.

Jaxon Dart

Jaxon Dart, the Ole Miss quarterback, holds longshot +15000 odds to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, held by the Titans. While Dart’s athleticism, dual-threat ability, and leadership makes him a notable prospect, his chances of claiming the top spot are minimal as the NFL draft comes closer.

Ashton Jeanty

Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, Boise State’s record-breaking running back, holds +15000 odds to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite his historic 2024 season with 2601 yards, 29 touchdowns, and a runner up in the Heisman Trophy voting, Jeanty’s chance of getting drafted as the No.1 overall pick remains slim.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
