Can the 2025 NFL Draft quarterbacks match up with the elite prospects from the 2024 class like Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels?
Quarterbacks like Carson Beck, Shedeur Sanders, and Quinn Ewers are leading the way early, but the competition behind the top 3 is ramping up. The 2024 NFL Draft featured a historic haul of quarterbacks, with six passers selected in Round 1, including the top three overall picks.
The 2025 class is a work in progress, showing more promise with each passing week. As the college football season progresses, the regular season will reveal which of these passers can rise to the top of the 2025 NFL Draft rankings.
Top 10 2025 NFL Draft QB Rankings
1. Carson Beck, Georgia
Carson Beck continues to impress in the 2024 season, maintaining his poise in the pocket and showing exceptional accuracy, completing 72.4% of his passes for 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2023. This season, Beck has built on that success, leading Georgia to a significant win over Clemson. His ability to deliver in crucial moments, especially against top-tier defenses, has cemented his status as the top quarterback in this draft class.
2. Quinn Ewers, Texas
Quinn Ewers' draft stock skyrocketed after his elite performance against Michigan in 2024. In that game, he converted 66.7% of his third-and-long situations, including a clutch 33-yard bomb on 3rd and 13. Ewers' ability to perform under pressure, especially on third downs, has boosted him into the conversation as a potential top-10 pick, showing NFL-level poise and decision-making.
3. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Shedeur Sanders is a highly scrutinized prospect on a struggling Colorado team. He started the year with a dominant 445-yard, four-touchdown performance against North Dakota State. However, his struggles against Nebraska, compounded by a poor offensive line, were evident. Despite this, Sanders has displayed the ability to make NFL-caliber throws under pressure, even completing passes while facing a free rusher. His leadership and composure solidify him as a top quarterback prospect.
4. Cam Ward, Miami (FL)
Cam Ward made an impressive debut for Miami, throwing for 385 yards and three touchdowns against Florida to start the 2024 season. His ability to make plays outside the pocket and his elite arm strength were on full display, elevating him to one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects.
5. Kyle McCord, Syracuse
Kyle McCord has been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 season after transferring to Syracuse from Ohio State. Through two games, he has thrown for 735 yards and eight touchdowns, leading the nation in passing TDs. His ability to dissect defenses, as seen in his 381-yard, 4-touchdown performance against No. 23 Georgia Tech, has raised his draft stock significantly, positioning him as a rising prospect.
6. Jalen Milroe, Alabama
Jalen Milroe’s dual-threat ability continues to make him a dynamic presence at Alabama. In 2024, he’s accounted for 394 passing yards, five touchdowns, and 81 rushing yards with four additional scores. His deep-ball accuracy and ability to make plays off-script make him an exciting option for teams looking for a versatile quarterback who thrives in RPO systems.
7. Drew Allar, Penn State
Drew Allar has had a strong start to the 2024 season, throwing for 420 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. At 6'5" and 238 pounds, Allar’s size and arm strength make him an ideal fit for pro-style offenses. His NFL size, improving efficiency, and functional mobility have kept him in the conversation for an early-round draft pick.
8. Noah Fifita, Arizona
Noah Fifita continues to impress with his accuracy and pocket presence, despite being undersized at 5'11". In 2024, he’s continued to show excellent decision-making, navigating Arizona's offense effectively. Fifita's ability to extend plays and deliver precise throws makes him a fit for teams seeking a quarterback with pro-style or West Coast offensive skills. His size concerns will play a major role in how high he is drafted.
9. Miller Moss, USC
Miller Moss made a name for himself in 2024 by leading USC to a dramatic win over LSU, throwing for 378 yards and a touchdown. With Caleb Williams gone, Moss stepped up right away in 2024 against LSU, delivering clutch throws late in the game. His calmness under pressure and ability to guide USC in big moments has positioned him as a rising NFL Draft prospect.
10. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
Garrett Nussmeier has had an explosive start to 2024, throwing for 610 yards and eight touchdowns through two games. His aggressive approach and arm strength have drawn attention, especially with his ability to stretch the field. Despite some inconsistency in decision-making, his performance has put him on the radar as a potential early-day-two pick.
