Nine out of 20 NFL scouts and executives surveyed in an anonymous poll by ESPN ranked Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders as the top quarterback of the upcoming 2025 NFL draft.

Sanders received the most votes from NFL evaluators, followed by Georgia's Carson Beck (five votes) and Alabama's Jalen Milroe (four votes), according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers both received one vote each, Thamel reported.

Thamel wrote that the poll is a reflection of the "potential volatility" of these quarterback rankings, and that NFL insiders believe it is "rare to have this many quarterbacks in the conversation and this much uncertainty around the position" six months out from the draft.
