As the excitement around the 2025 NFL Draft continues, one name has been at the center of speculation: Shedeur Sanders. After days of rumors regarding his potential selection, the talented quarterback from Colorado is still waiting for his name to be called following Day 1 of the draft. While two quarterbacks were selected, with Cam Ward going first overall to the Titans and Jaxson Dart picked by the Giants at No. 25, Sanders will have to be patient as he awaits his turn on Friday.
As we move into Day 2, several standout prospects remain available, offering teams a chance to bolster their rosters. Here are some of the best players still on the board:
2. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (6-2, 212): Known for his flashy personality, Sanders may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, when it comes to critical quarterback skills like accuracy and anticipation, he stands out as the most refined player in this draft class.
11. Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State (6-5, 260): Although Sawyer may not possess the athleticism of some edge rushers in this year's draft, his powerful frame and game intelligence allowed him to thrive during Ohio State's title run, accumulating 4.5 sacks and six pass breakups in four playoff games.
23. Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary (6-5, 311): Grant faces a significant jump in competition as he transitions to the NFL. However, he showcased his quickness and coordination at the Senior Bowl, proving he can maintain his position as a left tackle in the pros.
24. Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville (5-11, 194): Riley leads the cornerback class with 15 career interceptions, making him a valuable asset. His gambling style of play, combined with excellent ball awareness and body control, makes him a standout.
26. Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama (6-2, 217): With a combination of size, speed, and arm strength reminiscent of former No. 1 overall pick Michael Vick, Milroe is a player full of potential, making him a compelling option for teams looking for a quarterback with upside.
30. Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas (5-11, 180): After playing second fiddle to Matthew Golden, this Alabama transfer showcases a dynamic mix of quickness, speed, and tenacity. However, teams will want to investigate his character following recent allegations.
31. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa (6-1, 224): Johnson's straight-line speed concerns (4.57 at the Combine) might push him down the draft board in a competitive running back class. Nevertheless, his impressive balance and core flexibility make him an intriguing prospect.
33. Billy Bowman, Jr., S, Oklahoma (5-10, 192): Despite his smaller stature, Bowman compensates with remarkable instincts and playmaking ability. He has taken three of his 11 career interceptions back for touchdowns, proving his worth on the field.
With so many talented players still available, Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft promises to be filled with surprises and exciting developments. Keep an eye on these prospects as teams look to refine their rosters with the best talent available.
