2025 NFL Draft Big Board: Thor Nystrom's Top 500 Player Rankings
Thor Nystrom debuts his top 500 players for the 2025 NFL draft, accompanied by individual player comps, athletic scores, and more.
Most normal NFL draftniks call this their 2025 NFL Draft big board, but not me. This is the Thor 500—it's much more than a big board.
It’s my annual gift to the NFL Draft community. A 500-player (!!) big board with 500 (!!) player comps. It’s meant to allow anyone at home to have a running list of the best available players through Round 7, and it’s your go-to resource for the UDFA free-for-all, the only resource out there that will have player comps on 250+ UDFAs as they sign the last Saturday night of April.
