The NFL Draft is almost here! Among all the excitement over the future NFL stars, there is one position that relatively gets more eyeballs than every other position on the field. Yes, we are talking about the quarterbacks. The 2025 QB may not be as talented as their counterparts last year, but we still have some exciting names who led their respective teams during the 2024 season. There’s Cam Ward, the potential No. 1 pick. We also have Shedeur Sanders in the top tier. However, there’s a degree of uncertainty after that. Who’s the third-best QB? Some experts point to Lane Kiffin’s star and Ole Miss’ QB1, Jaxson Dart. What’s the buzz around his draft position?
ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky already had him in the elite box, while his latest take only solidified Dart’s fate. Field Yates from ESPN sees Dart as a potential No.21 pick going to the Steelers, a QB-desperate team in the league. While Aaron Rodgers looked like an obvious pick, his age restrictions make room for the alternative. Christian D’Andrea, however, sees Dart at No. 31 with a trade involved. He sees the Giants as his future NFL home. But above all these early anticipations, Dan Orlovsky unleashed a bombshell through his latest tweet.

Now, what could that ‘higher than expected’ spot imply? A projected first round with a higher spot on the list? Possibly, yes. While it doesn’t look like elusive for a guy to jump to the first round, who broke Eli Manning’s lofty school record of all-time passing leader. But everything, for now, looks like a smoke screen. We will have to wait for more developments to come to be sure of the draft spots. But Jaxson Dart looks like a real shot in this year’s pro-quarterbacks’ class.
