After the 2024 NFL draft, this class might feel like a letdown. While it doesn’t have a Malik Nabers<\/a> or a Brian Thomas, the top wide receiver options in the 2025 NFL draft offer varying body types to help an NFL offense.<\/p>\n

Top Ten Wide Receiver Prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n

1. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona<\/h3>\n

McMillan has a pterodactyl-sized wingspan and uses it to his advantage. There are concerns with his speed and burst, but he’s fast enough and can wiggle enough to be a stronger Drake London.<\/p>\n

2. Luther Burden, Missouri<\/h3>\n

There are no speed or burst concerns here. Burden is a big play waiting to happen, and can dominate defenders after the catch. He was used in a gadget role for Missouri in 2024, but his 2023 tape should erase any worries about his ability as a true wide receiver.<\/p>\n

3. Travis Hunter, Colorado<\/h3>\n

If Hunter was only a wide receiver, he’d be pushing for the number one spot. But among the top wide receiver prospects in this draft class, Hunter is the biggest mystery box. Will he even play wide receiver? How often will he? He’s the best football player on this list, but won’t change an offense unless a coach lets him.<\/p>\n
