2025 NFL draft quarterback class: Top prospects to know

While it'll be tough to top the 2024 NFL draft's quarterback class -- six passers went in the first 12 picks -- there's potential for the 2025 group to also be really, really good. Three names are already circulating as potential QB1 candidates: Georgia's Carson Beck, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Texas' Quinn Ewers. But there is a ton of depth, too.

Who are the top names to know in 2025? What are their strengths, and where do they need to improve? Let's look at the 19 best passers who are draft-eligible next spring, including seven who could easily be top-100 picks. I'll also answer a couple of big questions about NFL teams that might be taking a long look at these players. I'll start with my early No. 1 quarterback for the class.
