The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt ranks his Top 5 Quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. He begins by discussing the two QB’s that could go as high as #1 in the entire draft: Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders and explains why he ranked one over the other. He dives into the question of who the #3 QB in this Draft is and whether a player like Alabama’s Jalen Milroe or Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart could sneak into the back-end of the First Round. Klatt then takes a look at 5 more potential candidates to get the last spot on his list out of a group of QB’s which includes Texas’ Quinn Ewers and Ohio State’s Will Howard.
