2025 NFL Draft Tiers: Wide Receivers -- Part I

Why Travis Hunter is the most special draft prospects in years

New Pod! It’s receiver time in our continuing series of 2025 draft class deep dives. And it’s time to discuss the most compelling player in the draft class: Travis Hunter.

Kyle Williams - Why isn't there more love for the scrappy speedster from Washington State?
