These players could be the ones to crash the round one party
Every year, there’s a player that surprises the NFL world by going way higher than consensus. Michael Penix Jr. going 8th to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, Cole Strange going in round one to the New England Patriots in 2022, and many more surprises that threw the NFL Draft on tilt. 2025 is bound to have some surprises come Thursday, largely because of how much is unknown about this class.

UFC lightweight champion Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) is not sold on former featherweight champion Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) as his next title challenger and wants to see him earn the opportunity first.
