Recently, NFL draft expert Daniel Jeremiah listed what he believes to be his top 50 2025 NFL draft prospects. Jeremiah's rankings are after most pro days and 2025 NFL combine. His rankings are close to finalized with the 2025 NFL draft only three weeks away.

Williams has the athleticism to be a premier edge rusher in the league, but many question his draft value due to his injury concerns. Last season, Williams only played 14 games, and according to him, none of those games ...
