12 Quarterbacks Everyone’s Watching in the 2025 NFL Draft
From high-profile names with NFL ties to late risers coming from smaller schools, the quarterback group sure has range. Some are raw, others are polished, and a few could explode with the right coach. Everyone’s got questions. These twelve QBs have a shot to answer them—and maybe change their futures forever.

You can feel his command every time he drops back. Sanders is composed, deliberate, and rarely flustered by stress. His short-to-intermediate accuracy is among the best in the class, and he’s already operating like a pro. The deep ball still needs more consistency, but everything else says he’s ready for the next level.
Cam Ward – Miami

Once a highlight machine at Washington State, Ward brings the same kind of electric play style to Miami. His ability to improvise under pressure turns broken plays into big gains, and he’s got the arm to make every throw. That said, his decision-making remains a work in progress.
Carson Beck – Georgia

Beck works the field with patience, often waiting for the right window instead of chasing one. He’s reliable on short and mid-range and plays smart football in challenging situations. NFL teams value his poise, processing speed, and clean footwork in the pocket.
Quinn Ewers – Texas

When he’s hot, he’s surgical—zipping the ball into tight spots with timing and confidence. Ewers throws with a smooth, effortless motion, and his ball placement on vertical routes has improved. Still, inconsistency has lingered from season to season. If he can stay healthy and string together a full year of clean tape, he’ll be climbing up every board.
Jalen Milroe – Alabama

He’s the kind of athlete defenses game-plan around. Milroe can launch the ball 60 yards or rip off a 50-yard run, depending on the moment. His instincts as a playmaker are rare, but he’s still working through reads and processing speed. The development is there—what comes next is all about control and timing.
Riley Leonard – Notre Dame

Leonard plays the long game. He doesn’t chase hero plays and won’t lose you games by panicking. After transferring from Duke, he’s stepped into a new offense where he’ll be asked to do more. His arm may not be top-tier, but his decision-making and ability to stay cool when facing difficult plays make him a safe option.
Will Howard – Ohio State

Howard’s built like a prototypical QB—broad shoulders, big arm, and experience under his belt. After leaving Kansas State, he has to prove that he can handle the game at Ohio State. His aim on touch throws has been hit-or-miss, but his toughness and ability to extend plays keep him in the draft conversation.
Garrett Greene – West Virginia

There’s no off-switch with Greene. He brings non-stop energy to every snap—running, scrambling, launching it deep. At times, it’s too much and leads to off-balance decisions. Still, he’s a gamer. Coaches won’t mind the chaos if he can learn when to pull back and play within the scheme.
Jaxson Dart – Ole Miss

Every throw feels like a risk—and that’s what makes Dart so much fun to watch. He’s fearless, especially on the move, and doesn’t shy away from tight windows. But that confidence gets him into trouble. He’ll need to learn when to let a play go. Until then, he’s either winning you games—or giving you a heart attack.
Hank Bachmeier – Louisiana Tech

Bachmeier’s not a highlight guy, but he’s been through the fire—starting at Boise State and now settling in at Louisiana Tech. He’s sharp pre-snap and does not get rattled easily. For teams looking for a steady hand in a backup role, he fits the bill.
Spencer Petras – Utah State

After a tough run at Iowa, Petras is betting on a fresh start. He’s a traditional pocket passer with a big frame, decent touch, and solid field vision. But he’s limited athletically, and accuracy on the move has been an issue. If he can find rhythm in a new system, he might earn a second look.
Max Brosmer – Minnesota

Coming from New Hampshire, Brosmer enters the Big Ten with a ton of reps and a brain built for football. He doesn’t force throws, stays within structure, and always seems to know where the chains are. He lacks the big-time arm, but his efficiency gives him a real chance to stick as a long-term QB2.
Kurtis Rourke – Indiana

Rourke brings size, touch, and a ton of in-game experience. His numbers at Ohio were strong before injuries slowed him down, and now he’s got one more shot to prove himself at Indiana. Although he reads the field well, scouts want to see how he handles the jump in speed and competition.
Taylor Elgersma – Wilfrid Laurier

Elgersma has a quick release and a lively arm, but he’s still working through some of the fundamentals, especially when facing pressure. He’s a developmental guy right now, but if he sharpens his decision-making and tightens up his reads, he could sneak into the Day 3 mix.
Will Rogers – Washington

There’s nothing Rogers hasn’t seen. After four years of playing as a starter in Mississippi State’s pass-heavy system, he brings high football IQ and quick processing to Washington. He doesn’t have the ideal size or elite arm strength, but he knows where to go with the ball. Teams needing a ready-now backup will be paying attention.
