28 Stats About NFL Draft Prospects

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders

  • Question: Just how bad was his offensive environment?

I've put together a "Supporting Cast Rating" over the years that takes the average of every team's PFF rush, receiving, run-blocking, and pass-blocking grades—AKA everything except passing. It's not perfect, but it's something, ya know?

Anyways, last season the Colorado Buffaloes and Shedeur Sanders came in at … 36th among 69 Power 5 programs. Fellow top QB prospects like Cam Ward (3rd), Tyler Shough (18th), Jalen Milroe (24th), and Jaxson Dart (34th) were all in better situations, although the latter few QBs might not have as large of a discrepancy with Sanders as many think.

Miami QB Cam Ward

  • Question: Does he take too many chances under pressure?

I like to envision Ward as Rust Cohle when the pocket starts to break down: Cool, fearless … and maybe a bit too reckless. Look no further than Ward's turnover-worthy play rate when under pressure–it's the highest mark among notable 2025 draft-eligible QBs.

Louisville QB Tyler Shough

  • Question: Who is the best QB at not letting pressures turn into sacks in this class?

As you could maybe guess, it's Shough! Just 8.7% of his pressured dropbacks resulted in sacks last season—no other Power 5 QB had a rate under 12%.

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe

  • Question: Just how special was his rushing production?

Pretty, pretty, pretty special: Milroe managed to average a whopping 16 fantasy points per game from purely rushing production during his final year at Alabama—good for the 25th-best single-season mark of any FBS QB in the last decade and more than what Jayden Daniels (15.4) had in his last year at LSU.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart

  • Question: Who was college football's premier deep-ball passer last season? 

Chicks dig the long ball, and Dart managed to lead all of college football in total pass attempts (88), passing yards (1,517), and TDs (17) on passes thrown 20+ yards downfield last season. 

Syracuse QB Kyle McCord

  • Question: Who was college football's closest thing to Jameis Winston last year?

Probably McCord, who managed to lead all Power 5 QBs in big-time throws (36, yay!) … as well as turnover-worthy plays (24, not yay).

Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty

  • Question: How freaky is his ability to force missed tackles?

Well, from 2015 to 2023 the best single-season mark in missed tackles forced on rush attempts was held by Bijan Robinson with 104. In 2024, Ashton Jeanty forced … 152 missed tackles. That's a lot!

North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton

  • Question: How does his production stack up against the position's best in the last decade?

Hampton managed to rack up north of 1,500 rushing yards while scoring 15+ TDs on the ground in each of the past two seasons. Over the past 10 years the only other college players to accomplish this feat on more than one occasion: Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, Dalvin Cook, Donnel Pumphrey, and Lamar Jackson (lol).

Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo

  • Question: How rare is Skattebo's dual-threat ability?

Very! In fact, he joins Christian McCaffrey and something named I'Tavius Mathers as the only three RBs to rack up 1,500-plus rush yards and 500-plus receiving yards in the same season since 2015. His 1.95 yards per route run was also especially impressive—that mark led all Power 5 RBs in 2024.

Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson

  • Question: How often have SEC players rushed for 20+ TDs in a single season?

Not very—but Sampson has done, so … He joins Alabama QB Jalen Milroe and former Alabama RB Najee Harris as the only players to accomplish this feat since 2015, when Derrick Henry, Leonard Fournette, and Alex Collins all managed to hit the mark.

Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson

  • Question: Does he eat yards after contact for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

You could say that. Overall, Johnson (1,060) joined Omarion Hampton (1,222) and Cam Skattebo (1,202) as the only Power 5 RBs to rack up north of 1,000 yards after contact in 2024. Oh yeah, and that Ashton Jeanty guy has 1,970. He's good.

Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson

  • Question: Who is the most efficient rushing RB in this class?

Henderson was the only draft-eligible RB to average at least 7 yards per carry last year, so let's go with him! This is undoubtedly thanks in large part to Henderson's breathtaking explosiveness—the man knows how to go from zero to 100 real quick.

Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins

  • Question: Is this a freaky athlete here?

Sure is. Relative Athletic Score (RAS) has tracked 2,106 RB athletic profiles since 1987 … and Judkins' 9.90 out of a possible 10.00 is good for 23rd! Now, Judkins' decision to not do agility testing matters; just realize the Ole Miss and Ohio State product can MOVE for a big guy.

Miami RB Damien Martinez

  • Question: Who was the biggest grinder in this class?

Arguably Mr. Martinez, who averaged a robust 4.51 yards after contact per carry in 2024—good for the highest mark among all Power 5 draft-eligible RBs.

Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon

  • Question: How productive was he in 2023?

Productive enough to be considered the potential RB1 ahead of this draft! Overall, Gordon joins Ashton Jeanty and Cam Skattebo as the only three RBs to register a season with 2,000+ total yards and 20+ rushing TDs in one of the last two seasons.

Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten

  • Question: How great is this dude's ability to pick up yards after contact and force missed tackles?

Arguably better than anyone not named Ashton Jeanty!

Colorado WR Travis Hunter

  • Question: Who has been the most productive college defensive player on offense during the 21st century?

Mr. Travis Hunter! Overall, his 1,258 and 721-yard seasons represent the only two instances since 2000 that a registered defensive player has cleared even 500 receiving yards. Former USC CB/WR Adoree Jackson (414) is in third. NFL Hall of Famer Champ Bailey, with 744 yards and 5 touchdowns in 1998, would have finished second with a larger sample pull. 

Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan

  • Question: Who is the only WR to have 300-plus receiving yards in a game over the past three seasons?

That's right: Tetairoa McMillan's ridiculous 304 yards against New Mexico last season were good for the most in a game since Jaxon Smith-Njigba went for 347 in the 2021 Rose Bowl. Even more crazy? T-Mac reached that total with 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Madness.

Missouri WR Luther Burden

  • Question: How legit is he after the catch?

Very. After all, Burden joins Malik f*cking Nabers as the only two SEC WRs to force at least 30 missed tackles on receptions in a single season over the last five years. Burden's 0.49 missed tackle forced rate is the second-highest mark of any Power 5 WR of the last decade (shoutout Jauan Jennings).

Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka

  • Question: Who has the most receptions in the history of Ohio State football?

Wow, you guessed Egbuka? Good job! Kudos to the national champion for finishing his collegiate career with 205 catches—just ahead of guys like K.J. Hill (201), David Boston (191), Chris Olave (176), and Cris Carter (168). Decent company!

Texas WR Matthew Golden

  • Question: Who averaged the most receiving yards per game when the lights were shining brightest last season?

With 102.8 receiving yards per game from the SEC Championship through the playoffs, Golden was college football's most prolific pass catcher during the season's biggest matchups (min. three games played). In second place was Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith—you'll be hearing about him in these NFL Draft streets before too long. 

TCU WR Jack Bech

  • Question: Who led the 2021 LSU Tigers in receptions?

Well, it wasn't Malik Nabers. Or Brian Thomas Jr. Hell, even NFLers Trey Palmer and Kayshon Boutte failed to lead the way. Instead it was … Jack Bech! With 43, but yeah: Bech led this loaded WR room in total receptions as a true freshman—not too shabby. 

Ole Miss WR Tre Harris

  • Question: Who was college football's most efficient receiver on a per-route basis? 

Answer: Harris with a whopping 5.12 yards per route run. Even more incredible was Harris' ability to lead the nation in yards per route run vs. man and zone alike (note the small sample of just 38 routes vs. man coverage last season).

 

Miami WR Xavier Restrepo

  • Question: Who is The U's all-time leader in receiving yards?

Not Michael Irvin. Not Reggie Wayne. Hell, not even Santana Moss.

That's right: It's Mr. Xavier Restrepo! Maybe his infamous 4.83-second 40-yard dash doesn't tell the entire story?

Side note: Duke Johnson is the University of Miami's all-time leading rusher in case people were wondering.

TCU WR Savion Williams

  • Question: Who is the best contested-catch artist in this class?

Probably Tet McMillan or Travis Hunter, and yet it's actually Williams who boasts the highest contested-catch rate (16/21, 76.2%) over the last two seasons among 46 notable draft-eligible WRs! Not bad for the part-time RB who is regularly comped to more gadgety types like Cordarrelle Patterson and Laviska Shenault.

Penn State TE Tyler Warren

  • Question: How good was this dude as a rusher?

Improbably awesome. The Nittany Lions made a habit of featuring their likely top-10 pick as a wildcat QB throughout the 2024 season, and the man who wears 44 because of John Riggins did not disappoint.

Warren rushing among 415 non-QBs with 25+ rush attempts last season:

  • Yards per carry: 8.7 (1st)
  • Yards after contact per carry: 4.96 (5th)
  • Explosive run rate: 24% (10th)
  • Missed tackles forced per carry: 44% (6th)

Michigan TE Colston Loveland

  • Question: What was the Michigan offense like when he was hurt?

Very bad!

Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin

  • Question: Who is the most prolific college football TE in the 21st century?

Well, Harold Fannin owns the single-season receiving yardage record at the position with 1,555. That tops former Texas Tech TE Jace Amaro (1,352), who held the record since 2013. Impressive stuff from the owner of the highest Rookie Super Model production rating ever (100).
