The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 24, at historic Lambeau Field and the nearby Titletown District in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Seventeen college standouts have received invites to attend, including three from Alabama: Tyler Booker, Jihaad Campbell, and… Jalen Milroe? While Booker and Campbell are expected to be first-rounders, Milroe’s status as a Day 1 pick is less certain.
Invitees Include:
- Tyler Booker (G, Alabama)
- Jihaad Campbell (LB, Alabama)
- Jalen Milroe (QB, Alabama)
- Tetairoa McMillan (WR, Arizona)
- Ashton Jeanty (RB, Boise State)
- Travis Hunter (DB/WR, Colorado)
- Malaki Starks (DB, Georgia)
- Mykel Williams (DE, Georgia)
- Will Campbell (T, LSU)
- Cameron Ward (QB, Miami)
- Mason Graham (DT, Michigan)
- Will Johnson (DB, Michigan)
- Jaxson Dart (QB, Ole Miss)
- Josh Simmons (T, Ohio State)
- Abdul Carter (DE, Penn State)
- Matthew Golden (WR, Texas)
- Shemar Stewart (DE, Texas A&M)
Tyler Booker – OL, Alabama
Alabama’s team captain was projected throughout the fall and winter to go in the mid-to-late 20s in the first round. Recently, the Seahawks (No. 18) have gained traction as a possible landing spot. The Ravens at 27 are also a popular mock pick, but it’s unlikely he slips that far—some team could scoop him up earlier. Mocks range from the Colts at 14 to the Eagles at 32.
Jihaad Campbell – LB, Alabama
Bama’s 2024 Defensive MVP elevated his stock with an eye-catching Combine performance. While numbers help, it’s his game tape that’s turning heads. The Bucs at No. 19 are trending as a likely suitor, but he’s also been linked to San Francisco at 11. NFL analysts like Lance Zierlein and Daniel Jeremiah previously had him going 9th to the Saints, though those projections are a bit dated. He looks like a plug-and-play starter for the next decade.
Jalen Milroe – QB, Alabama
One of the draft’s more polarizing prospects, Milroe draws comparisons to Anthony Richardson—huge upside, raw mechanics. Unlike Richardson, Milroe won’t walk away in the middle of a game. Coaches admire his toughness and work ethic, and with the right development, he could evolve into a Lamar Jackson-type talent. Pittsburgh at No. 21 has come up in several mocks, especially after the Steelers lost both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Cleveland is also in the mix, potentially trading into the late first or using their early second-round pick.
Malachi Moore – DB, Alabama
Moore’s versatility is his calling card—he can line up at safety, nickel, or corner. Alabama listed him at 6’0″, 201 lbs, but the Combine had him at 5’11”, 196, which may hurt his draft stock. He’s looking like a sixth-round selection.
James Burnip – P, Alabama
One of the Tide’s most reliable specialists, Burnip also served as a holder. While punters don’t often get drafted, late Day 3 isn’t out of the question. Otherwise, he’ll be a priority free agent.
Que Robinson – LB, Alabama
Robinson’s season ended early with a forearm injury against LSU, but he’s expected to be ready for NFL camps. Several outlets list him as a sleeper prospect. He’s reportedly visited the Lions, Panthers, Falcons, and Chiefs. A special teams role or situational linebacker seems like a good fit. Day 3 selection (Rounds 4–7) isn’t out of the question.
CJ Dippre – TE, Alabama
Dippre never quite found his rhythm as a pass-catching tight end at Alabama but showed solid blocking and grit. In a deep tight end class, he’s more likely to be signed as an undrafted free agent and compete for a TE2/TE3 spot.
Tim Smith – DL, Alabama
Smith showed flashes but lacked consistency. He may not be an every-down lineman, but could carve out a rotational role. Late seventh round or more realistically a free agent pickup.
Robbie Ouzts – TE/FB, Alabama
A no-nonsense, hard-nosed player, Ouzts has the grit NFL teams like in a fullback. While that role is fading in college, it’s still valuable in the pros. Making a roster is possible, though he’s unlikely to hear his name called during the Draft.
Kneeland Hibbett – LS, Alabama
Dependable and steady, Hibbett snapped flawlessly for four seasons. A long shot to be drafted, but don’t be shocked if he lands on a roster or practice squad.
Graham Nicholson – PK, Alabama
The 2023 Lou Groza Award winner had a quiet 2024 season, hitting just 8 of 10 field goals after a stellar year at Miami (Ohio). He’s only 2-of-5 from 50+ yards in his career. Draft odds are slim, but he should get a rookie camp invite. Hopefully, he picked up a solid degree too.
