On Tuesday, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter posted on X that Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham has decided to forgo his senior season and declare for the 2025 NFL draft. This per his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
Graham is the best defensive player in all of college football and the most complete defender in the entire draft. This is with all due respect to guys like Colorado’s Travis Hunter, Penn State’s Abdul Carter and Georgia’s Malaki Starks but none of them are better at what they do than Graham is at what he can do.

Graham’s skill set gives him the potential to be a Chris Jones-type of impact player from the jump in his career. He’s a powerhouse at the point of attack, incredibly athletic and plays 1,000 miles an hour on every snap. Rosenhaus says he expects Graham to be selected in the top five picks and we have no reason to believe otherwise. If you aren’t a team that needs a quarterback, Graham is the best pick.
