NCAA Quarterbacks Ranked Ahead of NFL Draft

The NFL and NCAA's long-standing rule requiring college football players to wait three years before declaring for the draft contrasts sharply with the rise of talented freshmen entering the league, prompting speculation about future draft rankings. In the Big Ten, a mid-season re-evaluation of quarterbacks reveals a disappointing performance from teams like Michigan and Purdue, highlighting the struggles of key players including Cade McNamara and Hudson Card. Quinn Ewers of Texas has emerged as a polarizing figure ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, with his stock fluctuating due to injuries and inconsistent play; he is projected by some to be a first-round pick while others suggest a potential Day 2 selection. Despite rumors of sitting out the rest of the season, Ewers is preparing for an upcoming game against Vanderbilt, aiming to improve his draft prospects. Overall, the draft landscape is shaped by the emergence of new talent and the evaluation of current players midway through the season.
