The Tennessee Titans selected Miami's Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick to become their new franchise quarterback, kicking off the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday. Thirty-one additional players, including Colorado's Travis Hunter, Penn State's Abdul Carter, and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart, were also chosen in the first round of the draft.
There are still many prospects who have not been chosen, so Thursday was only the beginning of the three-day draft fervor. Additionally, a number of well-known prospects are still available, such as Shedeur Sanders, who many had predicted would be selected in the first round.
As the draft progresses, Sanders is expected to be among the first players off the board on Friday. South Carolina's Nick Emmanwori and Michigan's Will Johnson are among the other players expected to be selected today, too.

Here's a closer look at how fans can watch the second and third rounds of the 2025 NFL draft on Friday.
