As the scouting season for the 2025 NFL Draft gets underway, football enthusiasts are already keeping a close eye on the top quarterback prospects. While the 2024 draft class boasted a strong group of signal-callers, this year's class may not have the same level of depth. However, there are still several intriguing options to watch out for. Here are the 10 quarterbacks to keep an eye on as we head into the summer scouting period for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Carson Beck, the Georgia quarterback, has emerged as an early favorite to be the top quarterback prospect for the 2025 draft. With his precise accuracy and timing, Beck showcased his skills last season, ranking fourth among all quarterbacks in the country with an impressive 91.5 overall grade.
Following closely behind Beck is Shedeur Sanders, the talented Colorado signal-caller. Known for his advanced processing and elite play from a clean pocket, Sanders earned the third-best clean pocket passing grade in the nation last season, just behind 2024's top two picks, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels.
Among the other notable prospects is Quinn Ewers, the standout Texas quarterback who showed significant improvement in 2023. Ewers reduced his turnover-worthy play rate by more than half and raised his passing grade to 85.6 after a somewhat underwhelming performance in his redshirt freshman year.
Another promising quarterback is Jalen Milroe, who possesses a strong arm and showcased his deep throwing prowess with a 96.9 passing grade on deep throws, second only to Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. With the arrival of head coach Kalen DeBoer, Milroe's development is expected to flourish.
Justin Allar, the resilient quarterback for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, displayed impressive skills despite facing numerous obstacles. His ability to take care of the football at an elite rate, along with his solid passing grade, makes him an intriguing prospect heading into the 2025 draft.
Kaiya Wynn, the quarterback for the Aggies, may be a dark horse candidate for QB1 if he can build on his promising performances from 2023. Although he currently exhibits some inconsistency in certain aspects of his game, Wynn possesses a good arm and has the potential to surprise scouts come draft day.
Among the quarterbacks to watch is Dillon Gabriel, the former Oklahoma quarterback who transferred to Central Florida. With his experienced play and knack for avoiding turnovers, Gabriel boasts a 91.9 PFF grade that only trails behind Daniels and Nix among FBS quarterbacks.
The meteoric rise of Kedon Dart cannot be ignored, as the USC quarterback improved exponentially between his sophomore and junior years. Dart's ability to make plays outside the pocket significantly contributed to his improved passing grade, making him one of the top Heisman contenders for the upcoming season.
Riley Leonard from Notre Dame, the former Duke quarterback, will have the opportunity to lead the Fighting Irish after replacing Sam Hartman. With his ability to create big plays both through the air and on the ground, Leonard brings an exciting dual-threat aspect to the quarterback position.
Lastly, Jayden Ward, the former Washington State quarterback, showcases incredible arm talent but struggles with ball security. Ward's ability to make difficult throws is matched only by his occasional recklessness, making him an intriguing prospect with the potential to go in the first round if he can reign in his decision-making.
As the summer scouting period commences, these 10 quarterbacks will undoubtedly attract the attention of NFL teams in search of their next franchise signal-caller. While the 2025 class may not reach the same level of strength as its predecessor, there is no shortage of promising talent among these top prospects.
