The NFL announced Monday that 17 prospects will attend the draft in Green Bay.

In an exciting build-up to the 2025 NFL Draft scheduled for April 24 in Green Bay, the NFL revealed that 17 prospects will attend the event. Among them is Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado, who is among the most closely watched talents in the draft. Notably missing from the invite list is Shedeur Sanders, Hunter's teammate, despite expectations surrounding his potential performance in the draft. The wide receiver and defensive back Hunter is viewed as a significant asset who could make a strong impression at the draft.\n\nThe confirmed list features three quarterbacks, including Miami’s Cam Ward, who is being speculated as the likely first overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. The other quarterbacks in attendance are Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, both of whom have raised some questions regarding their draft positioning. In a notable shift, the tradition of having large numbers of players in the green room has diminished, as many prospects appear to prefer celebrating these milestones in private settings with their families. \n\nThis trend has implications not only for the fans who enjoy watching the selections live but also for the franchises looking to gauge the confidence and character of players. As franchises conduct player evaluations and meetings, there is a strong emphasis on understanding who the players are beyond their on-field performances. In this regard, teams like the Baltimore Ravens prioritize personal character fit within their scouting processes.\n\nThe upcoming NFL Draft will not only feature top prospects but will also see changes in logistical aspects around Lambeau Field due to increased road closures and parking changes as the draft experience builds. Fans planning to attend are encouraged to check local information to navigate smoothly through the area. This event promises to be both a significant opportunity for the athletes involved and a community celebration that exhibits the pride of Green Bay as the host city. The NFL aims to enhance fan engagement with interactive experiences and live performances scheduled throughout the draft, contributing to an electric atmosphere that showcases the sport’s commitment to its fans and the community.
