Cam Ward one of 17 set to attend NFL draft; no Shedeur Sanders

Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, is one of 17 players confirmed to attend the event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in two weeks, the NFL announced Monday.

Ward is one of three quarterbacks who will attend, along with Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, widely expected to be the second quarterback selected, was not among those announced to be in attendance.

Travis Hunter, Sanders’ star two-way teammate, will be in attendance, however. Other wide receivers who will be in attendance are Texas’ Matthew Golden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan.

Other prominent players to be in attendance include Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell and Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. All four players are expected to be selected in the top 10 picks.

Alabama leads the way with three players confirmed to attend — Milroe, guard Tyler Booker and linebacker Jihaad Campbell. Georgia (safety Malaki Starks and defensive end Mykel Williams) and Michigan (Graham and cornerback Will Johnson) will each have two players in attendance.

Rounding out the attendees are Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons and Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart.

The draft begins with the first round April 24 (8 p.m. ET), followed by the second and third rounds on April 25 (7 p.m. ET), and Rounds 4 through 7 on April 26 (noon ET).
