Which players are at the NFL Draft? Cam Ward, Travis Hunter headline top prospects in the green room in Green Bay image

The NFL Draft starts on Thursday evening, and we'll get our first look at the next generation of stars. The three-day production is one of the most anticipated events in the NFL, as all 32 teams are building towards their futures. 

One of the most entertaining parts of the draft is watching player reactions once they're selected. Every year, some of the most highly-touted prospects sit and wait in the green room for their names to be called. When they get a call from the team selecting them, it's incredibly cool to see their reactions, oftentimes getting to celebrate with family and friends. 

Let's take a look at the future NFL stars who will be in attendance in person at the 2025 NFL Draft.
