Arizona Prospects Shine Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

Arizona's football prospects are drawing attention ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, with at least 25 players from the state, including Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, expected to be drafted. McMillan is considered one of the top receivers after a record-breaking college career, while Skattebo's breakout year, which helped ASU secure a Big 12 championship, has made him a sought-after prospect projected to go between the second and fourth rounds. The 2025 running back class is regarded as the strongest in two decades. Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby, who recently became the first active NFL player to take a collegiate executive role as Eastern Michigan University's assistant general manager, has praised Skattebo's intense playing style and standout performance in the Peach Bowl, favoring him over Boise State's Ashton Jeanty. Crosby's involvement highlights a trend of active players influencing college program development and draft analysis. The state's growing pool of NFL talent underscores Arizona's rising profile in football.
