The big day is finally here, as the 2025 NFL Draft will kick off Thursday night in Green Bay.
Abdul Carter will be in attendance, likely to go within the top five picks. Tyler Warren won’t be present, but he’s expecting to hear his name called within the top 15. The duo should become the highest-drafted pair of Nittany Lions since Courtney Brown and LaVar Arrington.
At least three others from Penn State’s crop of draft-eligible talent are probably going to hear their names called throughout the weekend.
With Miami quarterback Cam Ward becoming a near lock to go No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans, the final rounds of expert mock drafts are coming close to a consensus on where Carter will land, while others down the board for Penn State have a few popular landing spots, too.
In the final week of predictions before the real thing takes place, let’s round up some mock drafts for Penn State’s top names.
