2025 NFL Draft Big Board Risers
Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
Stats: 17/24, 237 yards, 1 touchdown
The quarterback class of 2025 is shaping up to be an interesting one, with Drew Allar being one of the most intriguing prospects to watch. Known for his prototypical quarterback build at 6-foot-5 and weighing 238 pounds, Allar impresses with his powerful arm. However, his accuracy and consistency have been points of concern until this season.
Allar has shown an impressive ability to avoid interceptions, maintaining a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 38-to-3 throughout his career. His completion percentage has significantly improved in 2024, rising from 59.9 percent to an impressive 70.8 percent. This improvement was particularly evident in Week 6, showcasing his development.
Allar's passes have arrived faster and more accurately than in previous seasons. His arm strength, which is expected to be among the best in the NFL once he joins, enables him to make impactful plays when he connects the football with his receiver's chest, potentially leading to a top-10 offense.
Notably, Allar achieved a personal best this season with three major throws in a single game and his quickest average throw time at 2.57 seconds. This ability to quickly read the play and execute decisive throws is a rare skill, positioning Allar as a potential first-round pick if he maintains this performance level.
Ricky White, WR, UNLV
Stats: 10 receptions, 135 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 blocked punt
The Syracuse vs. UNLV game on Friday night showcased potential NFL talent, with several players making their mark. Among them, UNLV's senior wide receiver, Ricky White III, stood out by nearly leading the Rebels to a victory in overtime. For the second consecutive week, he caught 10 passes, amassing a season-best 135 yards, including a notable 53-yard reception.
White is an ideal prospect for the NFL. His 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame allows him to be versatile in playing both inside and outside positions. He excels in a range of precise route-running. His ability was on full display when he scored a touchdown on a slant route, effortlessly getting past the cornerback right from the snap and smoothly making his way into the end zone.
Additionally, White demonstrated his game-changing abilities on special teams by blocking a punt, further solidifying his value and making a strong case for his inclusion in an NFL roster. With his stock on the rise, White is poised to ascend our receiver rankings and could very well be selected on Day 2 of the draft.
Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
Stats: 76 snaps, 52 pass-blocking snaps, 0 pressures allowed
The class of offensive tackles for 2025 is promising yet fluid. The demand for stable offensive line play has intensified as NFL offenses grapple with defensive strategies that limit big plays, forcing methodical advances down the field. The lack of a reliable tackle can severely undermine an offense.
Anthony Belton from NC State has distinguished himself as one of the premier pass protectors nationwide throughout the season. Aside from a challenging game against Clemson, the 6-foot-6, 336-pound Belton has proven he's more than ready to contribute early in his career and has great potential for development. This past week marked his most impressive performance to date.
In an exhaustive 76 snaps, PFF rated Belton as the week's second top pass blocker. Remarkably, for the second consecutive game, he did not allow any pressure on the quarterback, demonstrating significant improvement in handling speed rushes, especially after Clemson's successful penetration.
As the season progresses, a Day 2 draft pick for Belton is becoming increasingly plausible.
