ESPN’s Field Yates was singing his praises during a recent edition of ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” when he explained why Dart would sneak his way into the first round, which is expected to include quarterbacks Cam Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado).

NFL offseason began, many approached the 2025 NFL Draft with the mindset that there are only two quarterbacks worth a first-round pick. That narrative is slowly changing, thanks to the emergence of the University of Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart.

According to a report, Jaxson Dart is moving up draft boards and could be picked in the top-five by an NFC team.
