Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith and Alabama's Ryan Williams are only freshmen and won't be eligible for the NFL draft until 2027, but they are already turning heads among talent evaluators.

"I'll say this," ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. said Thursday (1:45 mark). "The true freshmen, Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williiams, would be ahead of these guys. Outside of Travis Hunter, I'd put them ahead of any receiver in this draft. Travis Hunter would be the only one ahead of those two freshmen."

At this point, Hunter is in a class of his own.
