The Reese’s Senior Bowl has come to a close, providing 100-plus prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft with a crucial opportunity to showcase their skills. Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL analyst, highlights 12 players who made significant impressions during the week-long practice sessions.
Among them is Alexander, a Toledo Rocket who impressed with his size and athleticism, reminiscent of Chiefs All-Pro DT Chris Jones. Arroyo, a Miami product, demonstrated route polish and blocking abilities that could catapult him into first-round consideration.
Leadership stood out for Bassa, as he directed traffic on the field, showcasing an alpha mentality at the linebacker position. Farmer’s versatility, strength, and quickness drew comparisons to Steelers defensive lineman Keeanu Benton. Green led the FBS with 17 sacks in 2024, and his play speed off the edge made him a top prospect.
Hairston showcased exceptional ball skills and competitiveness, making him an attractive pick for teams. Nolen’s rare combination of size, twitch, and burst raised eyebrows despite some finishing issues on tape. Stewart, a height-weight-speed freak, had an impactful week despite limited production in college.
Taylor’s ease with routes and ball catching abilities drew comparisons to his father, Jason Taylor, a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Thomas’s length, fluidity, and physicality made him a standout competitor. Williams showed impressive release polish, creating separation throughout practices, while Zabel’s positional flexibility earned consideration for the first round.
These players have taken significant steps towards securing their spot in the 2025 NFL Draft.
