2025 NFL Draft- Three Pack of Aggies

The 2024 college football season is coming to an end, so you know what that means? The 2025 NFL draft is coming soon, as well. Draft Nation is here to guide you through the prospects and how they can help NFL teams.

Here is a three pack of Texas A&M players who are looking to get selected in the 2025 NFL draft.

Edge Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M

6-foot-6 290 lbs

2024 stats: 12 games 31 tackles 6 TFL, 1.5 sacks

What to like about Shemar Stewart

Shemar Stewart has the build that every NFL team wants from their defensive end/edge rusher. His length and his powerful frame makes him a handful for most offensive tackles. Stewart has shown the ability to line up all along he defensive front and can play standing up or from a three-point stance, creating mismatches. His explosiveness off the ball leads to well timed bull rushes that push tackles back into the backfield. Turner never stops playing and has a non-stop motor to make plays well away from where he was originally set up. When attacking he uses his hands effectively to be able to shed a lineman from either side. 

Reason for concern

Stewart has problems with holding his ground in the run game and patiently waiting for the play or runner to come to him. His pass rushing moves are limited to speed moves and bull rushes at this point and he needs to incorporate more swim moves and stunts to his repertoire to keep lineman second guessing. Stewart's overall game relies too much on his power and speed and he needs to pay more attention to his mechanics and techniques when he is matched up one-on-one against athletic offensive tackles. 

NFL Player Comparison

Keion White

Keion White was a second round pick of the New England Patriots in 2023 and is a good comparison for Shemar Stewart. Both men have the length and athleticism to supply their teams with a powerful pass rush off the edge. After not doing much in his rookie season after coming out of Georgia Tech, White has improved dramatically for the Patriots in 2024.

Draft Projection

Fourth-Round pick

Edge Nic Scourton, Texas A&M

6-foot-4 280 lbs

2024 stats: 12 games 37 tackles 14 TFL  5 sacks

What to like about Nic Scourton

Nic Scourton plays the game with a high-motor and has the build and tools to be a disruptive force. He wins one-one-one battles by beating lineman with his strong hands and upper body strength that he uses to shed blockers and then explode to the ball. Scourton's closing speed is what stands out on tape. Quarterback's feel comfortable in the pocket one second and then Scourton explodes into the backfield the next moment. He plays the edge position well and has the patience not to over pursue leaving the edge open. Several times he has thwarted misdirections or reverse plays by staying home and keeping the edge sealed. 

Reason for concern

On the downside, Scourton's pass rushing toolbox needs to be expanded and he relies more on speed than making a spin or a move. Although he plays the game with a passion and high motor, he needs to show more consistency instead of dominating one quarter and disappearing the next. He struggles when he plays in a three-point stance which takes away some of his versatility. 

NFL Draft Comparison

Myles Garrett

Nic Scourton looks like a clone of former Texas A&M star Myles Garrett. Both players are 6-foot-4 and come off the edge at a relentless pace. Garrett has worked nonstop on adding pass rushing moves and has become one of the games best defensive players. Scourton will need to do the same. 

Garrett, of course, is the utmost ceiling that Scourton could attain. Draft Nation thinks that Will McDonald may be closer to the mid-range of Scourton's talents.

Draft Projection

First-Round pick

Running Back  Le’Veon Moss, Texas A&M

6-foot-0   215 lbs

2024 stats: 9 games 765 yards  10 touchdowns

What to like about Le’Veon Moss

Le'Veon Moss has an exceptional burst off the snap and gets though the hole quickly. He is an aggressive and hard runner who cannot be arm tackled running with a low base and is able to bounce off tacklers while keeping his vision downfield. Moss is effective at being a short yardage runner and does a good job of lowering his head and picking up the difficult yards. He changes speeds well and has the patience to let running lanes open. 

Reason for concern

Moss is a north-south runner who has his struggles with agility and lateral movement. He has stiff mechanics and is not a pure cutter that can make defenders miss. When Moss accelerates he has trouble keeping his feet centered under his body and loses a lot of his power and balance. He has not been used much as a receiver out of the backfield, so teams will like to see what Moss can do catching passes and running routes. The NFL combine and after season all-star games may be the way for Moss to show he can handle pass catching.

NFL Player Comparison

Tank Bigsby

Draft Nation was reminded of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby when watching film on Le'Veon Moss. Bigsby was a star running back out of Auburn, and was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Both runners are creative inside and excel between the tackles and in short yardage situations. Moss' ceiling is a bit lower than Bigsby, unless he can answer the question marks about his pass catching ability.

Draft Projection

 Fifth-Round Pick
