2025 NFL Draft: Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart reverses course, will not attend event and sit in green room

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart will not be at the 2025 NFL Draft when his name is called. Dart — who was originally expected to attend the event — apparently changed his mind about that decision with the draft just around the corner, according to ESPN. Dart was initially listed as one of the 17 players attending the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. The NFL put out an updated list of attendees Thursday, and two players — Dart and Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams — were no longer on the list. Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston was a new addition, meaning a total of 16 players will be at the 2025 NFL Draft. No reason was given for Dart's decision to pull out of the event. The prospects who attend the draft are typically players expected to go in the first round. That appears to be the case again this year, as a number of the prospects attending the draft are listed as top-32 prospects on Yahoo Sports' big board. Only two players on the list of updated attendees fall outside Yahoo Sports' top-32, Hairston and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. Hairston ranks 55 on Yahoo Sports' big board. Milroe ranks 69th. Dart, meanwhile, ranks 70th on that list. If he did attend the 2025 NFL Draft, he would have been the lowest-ranked Yahoo Sports prospect at the event. That doesn't necessarily mean much. Quarterbacks tend to get pushed up in the NFL Draft, and it's likely Dart and Milroe both go higher than anticipated during the event. For Dart, however, taking his name off the list of attendees could signal that he isn't going as early as he expected. Prospects who attend the draft run the risk of increased scrutiny and attention if they unexpectedly fall on draft boards. Aaron Rodgers and Brady Quinn are two of the best examples of that phenomenon. Both players fell much farther than expected during the NFL Draft, and sad shots of them waiting in the green room dominated the conversation on draft night. It's possible Dart wanted to avoid that situation and decided he was better off enjoying his moment elsewhere. It's also possible Dart had other reasons for declining the event. Maybe he simply wanted to be surrounded by friends and family? We don't know. His decision doesn't necessarily have to do with his draft stock. After throwing for 29 touchdowns, six interceptions and an SEC-leading 4,279 yards, Dart will hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft. While there are questions about how he'll transition to the league, Dart has quality traits. That should be enough to entice certain general managers, especially those who can afford to let Dart sit behind a quality veteran for a season while he adjusts to the NFL. It doesn't really matter where Dart is when that call comes. It will be a special moment for him regardless of his location.

Giants took ‘one more swing' on Cam Ward with last-second NFL draft call to Titans

Joe Schoen knew what the outcome of this phone call would be. But as the general manager of a Giants team searching for a long-term answer at quarterback, he had to do his due diligence. As shown in the team's 'Giants Life: 2025 NFL Draft' show posted online Thursday, Schoen stood up from his seat to call Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi to take one last crack at moving up from No. 3 to No. 1 in an attempt to get Miami quarterback Cam Ward. 'Were you waiting for this? Are you gonna pick?' Schoen says to Borgonzi before breaking out in laughter. 'I had to do it, I had to do it. All right, man. Well, good luck to you man. I was gonna wait and just call you now on the clock, so I figured you guys were picking. But thought I'd give it one more swing.' Giants GM Joe Schoen calls Titans GM Mike Borgonzi at the start of the 2025 NFL Draft. YouTube/New York Giants Schoen then sat back down between owner John Mara and head coach Brian Daboll, telling the room, 'Tennessee's gonna pick. I think Ward's going here.' The top two went as expected for the Giants, as they anticipated Ward going to the Titans and Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter going No. 2. Schoen says in 'Giants Life' he team caught wind about a week before the draft that a team other than the Browns would be picking at No. 2; the Jaguars traded up to take the two-way star. The Giants then took Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3 and traded up to take Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart at No. 25. The Post's Paul Schwartz reported hours before the first round of the draft that the Giants would make a last-ditch effort to trade with the Titans, but that they understood Tennessee was extremely unlikely to trade down.

Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Dart was the second QB off the board and there were only two quarterbacks taken in the first round in what was considered a weaker draft class for that position. Shedeur Sanders, once projected as a top-three pick, fell all the way to the Browns at No. 144 in the fifth round.

2025 NFL Draft: Day 3 time, draft order, best available players, including Shedeur Sanders, how to watch and everything else you need to know

The 2025 NFL Draft is heading into its third and final day. Cam Ward went first to the Tennessee Titans, as expected. Travis Hunter went second to the ... Jacksonville Jaguars in Round 1's biggest surprise. But the biggest storyline dominating the draft remains the same from when it began: When is Shedeur Sanders going to be taken? Five quarterbacks were taken in the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Sanders wasn't among them. There's still plenty of time for him to go, but it's been a disappointing slide for a prospect who was considered by many to be the second- or third-best quarterback in the class. The fourth round of the draft gets started early. When will that happen? How many minutes will teams have to make their picks? Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 NFL Draft. The first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft are over, and we've already handed out grades for them. The fourth through seventh rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft will take place Saturday, April 26 at 12 p.m. ET. Teams will have five minutes to submit picks in the fourth through the sixth rounds of the draft. Teams get just four minutes to make a pick in the seventh and final round of the draft. Once the 257th pick is made, the 2025 NFL Draft will officially end. The 2025 NFL Draft is being hosted in Green Bay, Wisconsin. For decades, the NFL Draft was hosted in New York. But in 2015, the NFL decided to shift the event to different host cities. A number of places have hosted the NFL Draft since then, including Chicago, Las Vegas and Kansas City. Detroit hosted the NFL Draft last season. Pittsburgh has already been chosen to host the 2026 NFL Draft next April. The 2025 NFL Draft will air on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and the NFL Network. Each network will host their own NFL Draft shows, with different analysts breaking down all the action. ESPN and ABC — which are both owned by Disney — will have two separate broadcasts during the draft. The ESPN broadcast will focus on "the specific NFL team and the draftee's on-field performance," per a release from the network. The ABC broadcast will "emphasize storytelling and the draftee's road to the NFL Draft." Mike Greenberg will host ESPN's broadcast. He'll be joined by Mel Kiper Jr., Booger McFarland, Louis Riddick, Molly McGrath and Adam Schefter. Due to the NBA playoffs. Saturday's broadcast on ESPN2 will begin at 12 p.m. ET. Rece Davis will host ABC's coverage. He'll be joined by Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Field Yates, Laura Rutledge and Pete Thamel. ABC's live broadcast will begin at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday. Rich Eisen will get hosting duties over at NFL Network. He'll be joined by Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis and Joel Klatt on the main desk. Kurt Warner and Ian Rapoport will also provide analysis and Jamie Erdahl will be on the stage. NFL Network will carry the event at its standard times. Saturday's coverage will begin at 12 p.m. ET.

Monday's first-round mock draft featured some expected picks, like Cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans. It also featured more recent surprises, like the Jacksonville Jaguars taking Jeanty at No. 5 overall. As for Sanders, well, he actually fell out of the first round in Tice and McDonald's latest mock draft — which is what ended up happening in the actual draft. If you want to know who Tice and McDonald believe are the best players still available in the 2025 NFL Draft, check out Yahoo Sports' big board. Many of the biggest stars of the 2025 class are already off the board, but there's still plenty of value to be found on Day 3. Here are some of the notable names — including Shedeur Sanders — still available: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado Marcus Mbow, OG, Purdue Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State Bradyn Swinson, Edge, LSU Damien Martinez, RB, Miami Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State Devin Neal, RB, Kansas Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State Cameron Williams, OT, Texas Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State Mitchell Evans, TE, Notre Dame With the draft in Green Bay, a number of Packers greats appeared on the first night of the event. Mason Crosby, Ahman Green, James Jones, Clay Matthews and Jordy Nelson opened the event with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday. Jaguars defensive end Arik Armstead, who was named the 2024 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, announced the Jaguars' first-round pick Thursday night. A handful of current NFL stars announced picks on the second night of the draft. That list includes Terrion Arnold, Chuba Hubbard, Alec Ingold, Ryan Ramczyk and Jonathan Taylor. Former NFL legends will also be in attendance to announce picks during the event. Lynn Swann and Joe Thomas are among the NFL Hall of Famers who will have that duty.

Green Bay's Successful 2025 NFL Draft Will Lead To More Events In Small Market Cities

Green Bay's 2025 NFL Draft proved to be an overwhelming success, drawing the second-largest crowd ... More since the event moved to its current format in 2015. (Photo by) The 2025 NFL Draft in the NFL's smallest market in Green Bay, Wisconsin proved to be an overwhelming success. For the first time since the NFL draft began hosting in various cities in 2015, they held their annual event in Green Bay for the first time, the 69th-ranked media market in the country. That didn't seem to matter as the 2025 NFL Draft drew 600,00 fans, tied for the second-highest total since the league went to its current format a decade ago. For perspective, Nashville is the 26th-biggest market in the country and the 69th-ranked market tied it as the second-biggest draft week total since 2015. Green Bay's event only trails Detroit's 2024 NFL Draft event for total attendance, with the Motor City drawing in 775,000 total fans over its three-day event. Green Bay's attendance count for the draft -- which was held right next to Lambeau Field, the second-oldest stadium in the NFL -- saw it draw 205,000 fans on the first day, 175,000 fans for the second day and 220,000 on the final day. It's worth noting that Thursday's event had clear skies with a temperature that dipped below 50 degrees, Friday's event was rain heavy and Saturday's afternoon event was overwhelmingly sunny. For perspective, the Green Bay's metro area has a little over 330,000 people. By comparison, Detroit has more than 4.3 million residents in its metro area. That's an insane turnout for Green Bay considering its population size. Fans in attendance were treated to the opening of the draft which saw Packers greats such as Jordy Nelson, Clay Matthews, James Jones, Mason Crosby and Ahman Green (along with Green Bay fan Lil Wayne) ride bikes to the stage. What made it even better was Matthews' punch line of "Bears still suck!" to the Packers-heavy fan base at the event. "Yeah, it's fun to go out there with some of those guys," said Nelson in a one-on-one interview right before an event with Sports Milwaukee in the aforementioned city. "It's always great to see them and then have that experience. Obviously, Clay did his act and got some people rowdy, but it's just a unique thing." The former 10-year Packers veteran and Super Bowl champion details how cool it was to be on the stage with the franchise greats, all of whom Nelson played with at one point in time. It's worth noting that with the exception of Matthews, neither of those guys were first-round picks, meaning it was the first real experience of being on the draft stage for many of them. "Obviously all of us had been drafted, but everyone in different rounds," says Nelson. "I think all of us were probably at home (when we were drafted). Didn't go on the draft stage, so to see that many people in one area for the NFL, they've done it right. It was just fun and a great way to interact with some fans." Milwaukee is the closest "big" city to Green Bay -- it's a little less than two hours south of Green Bay -- and it's actually just a mid-sized market as the 36th most populous designated market area in the United States. Many people who went to the draft flew in through Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. The city may not be the size of Detroit -- which is the 14th-ranked DMA in the country -- but it has the epitome of a midwestern laid-back feel where the people are endearing and the pace feels just right. "It's the people," says Nelson of why Green Bay and Milwaukee stand out compared to other cities. "It's what everyone talks about when you get drafted to Green Bay and then when you get to experience it, I think everyone that came in for the draft experience, the hospitality when I got off the plane the other day, there were people waiting there at the end of the terminal handing out bags welcoming people to Green Bay." Nelson -- who is originally from Kansas -- further why Green Bay and Wisconsin's "hospitality" makes it stand out compared to other NFL regions. "Even Mason (Crosby) joked about it, that if you're here long enough, you'll get invited into the cottage up north," says Nelson of his former kicker teammate, who also attended the event in Milwaukee. "The people are great. Obviously history of the Packers and the city of Green Bay and what the organization has done with the stuff around the stadium with Titletown and all that they've developed to create a great atmosphere and experience for all the fans -- either Packers fans or visiting fans -- when they come so it's a great venue." Green Bay is the ninth different city to host the NFL draft since it moved to its current format. Many of those cities -- Cleveland, Nashville, Kansas City, Philadelphia -- along with Green Bay have never hosted a Super Bowl. The NFL will host the draft in Pittsburgh next year, a city that has also never hosted the Super Bowl. Nelson details how that is a big appeal for fans in these cities who might never get to witness a Super Bowl in person, However, they get the opportunity to witness the draft -- a free admission event -- which can be their "Super Bowl" in a way. "I think the NFL is impressed with what they've got, a lot of people were happy with it," says Nelson of the draft experience in Green Bay. "It's a good idea with what the NFL is doing by taking the draft to places, especially places that aren't probably going to be the host of the Super Bowl. It's kind of their Super Bowl." It also doesn't hurt that Milwaukee actually has things going on as a devoted sports city. They have the Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers as one of 31 cities in America with at least two sports teams in the four major sports pro leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL). The city recently completed a $456 million renovation of the Baird Center in 2024, which is located minutes from the Bucks' Fiserv Forum arena. The Baird Center hosted over 20 sporting events in 2024 and will host over 30 sporting events in 2025. The convention center also has 24 basketball courts, making it a prime location to host any type of major sport. During NFL draft week, the Baird Center was actually hosting the 2025 US Junior Nationals Girls' Basketball Windy City Classic, the largest spring girls basketball recruiting event in the Midwest. The Potawatomi Hotel & Casino also features a sports book situated just minutes from the Bucks' Fiserv Forum. According to Discover Green Bay, the NFL draft was anticipated to generate more than $90 million in revenue for the state of Wisconsin and $20 million locally. Considering the NFL's popularity, especially when it comes to offseason events such as the NFL draft, it wouldn't be a surprise if other smaller markets such as Indianapolis were to hold the draft in the near future. It's an automatic economic boost and makes an area that wouldn't normally be considered a destination an immediate vacation hotspot. Green Bay, Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin were a great host for the 2025 NFL Draft. Expect more smaller markets — even if they're not grand in size — to host the NFL draft and become tourist hotspots in the process. As Nelson describes it best, the NFL draft becomes "Super Bowl" type of events for these cities.
