2025 Week Thirteen Prospect Watch
Two weeks of regular-season college football are all that is left for us draftniks to make our decisions on what we think of most 2026 NFL draft prospects, and all the time left for most players to decide whether or not to stay at their school, transfer, or go pro.
None of the decisions will be more interesting than in this year's QB class. Players like Dante Moore, LaNorris Sellers, and pretty much every other non-Mendoza QB with eligibility left will be facing the hard decision about their futures, especially given the NFL's general reluctance towards QB development over the past few years. I think almost all of them should stay, but my mind remains open if they can seriously impress here down the stretch.
This is a surprisingly jam-packed week with 23 games on the docket, so let's jump into it.
Check out my new NFL QB stat LEAF, and its visualizer! Writing explaining what it is to come...
