With elite performances and impressive statistics, these quarterbacks have caught the attention of scouts and football enthusiasts alike.

Leading the pack is Georgia's Carson Beck, who has proven himself as a supremely accurate and talented quarterback. Finishing as the fourth-most valuable quarterback in the nation according to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Beck's impressive overall PFF grade of 91.5 and passing grade of 90.8 solidify his position as one of the top prospects in the class of 2025.

Close on Beck's heels is J.J. McCarthy from Michigan, whose polarizing skill set has garnered attention from both fans and analysts. Despite having a limited number of dropbacks, McCarthy earned an impressive PFF grade of 90.6 while leading Michigan to a national championship.

Shedeur Sanders from Colorado has also made a significant impact, ranking seventh among FBS quarterbacks with an 89.2 PFF passing grade. Sanders has showcased his advanced processing skills and ability to thrive within a clean pocket, setting the stage for a potential rise to becoming the top quarterback prospect for 2025.

Michael Penix Jr., formerly with Washington, offers a mix of arm talent and elite tape that hasn't gone unnoticed. Despite concerns around injuries and the talent surrounding him, Penix Jr. boasts an impressive PFF passing grade of 91.2 since 2022, placing him securely within the top quarterback prospects for the draft.

Bo Nix, who found success at Oregon after transferring from Auburn, emerged as an efficient assassin on the field. With a PFF passing grade of 92.7, the fifth-year senior led all quarterbacks in the country, showcasing his ability to excel within the system he played in.

Quinn Ewers from Texas has demonstrated noticeable improvement, leading the Longhorns to a Big 12 title and College Football Playoff berth. With a reduced turnover-worthy play rate and an upgraded PFF passing grade, Ewers has positioned himself as a contender for the top quarterback prospect in the 2025 draft.

Jalen Milroe from Alabama, known for his big-play potential, stood out with impressive deep throws and a high big-time throw rate of 9.2%. While he still needs to polish his skills in shorter passes, Milroe's talent is undeniable.

Finally, the 2026 prospect to watch out for is Nico Iamaleava from Tennessee. In his lone start in the Citrus Bowl against Iowa, the true freshman showcased his strong arm and mobility, earning an impressive PFF grade of 84.9. With the departure of Tennessee's starting quarterback, Iamaleava is poised to claim the spotlight as the team's full-time starter next season.

With this talented group of quarterbacks, the 2025 NFL Draft promises to be an exciting one. Scouts and fans eagerly await the opportunity to see these prospects transition from the college gridiron to the professional stage, where their skills will be put to the ultimate test.
