As I continue on with my way to early look ahead to the 2025 NFL draft for the Green Bay Packers, we arrive at the edge rusher position, with 10 names to keep your eyes on during this upcoming college football season.
Pro Football Focus has recently gone through all 11 positions and picked the top 10 draft prospects from each. Here is who they chose at edge rusher. For more details on each player, click here.

At least where we stand right now, edge rusher doesn’t look like it’s going to be a big need for the Packers in 2025, with the current top five players at this position group all under contract through at least next season.
