Nebraska is in a position to have its best group of NFL Draft prospects since it joined the Big Ten Conference in 2011. NU is projected to have as many as five draft picks, and has not had more than four picks in the draft since 2011.

The countdown is on in Green Bay, and the 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner — tonight, in fact. For Eli Drinkwitz’s Tigers, there’s a group of players anxiously waiting to see if their name gets called over the next few days.

Joe Thomas, Lee Evans and four elite running backs will be among the former UW players announcing picks during Day 2 of the draft.
