DRAFT TRACKER 2025

McDaniel began his collegiate career at Jackson State in 2019, switched to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, then went to Alcorn State in 2023 before finishing up back at Jackson State. He possesses a good blend of size and speed. He was a highly explosive tester at the HBCU Combine. McDaniel plays as an add-on defender near the box. He’s average in coverage but does a nice job of running and hitting in run support near the line. He has to improve at attacking blocks and getting rid of them. The traits and toughness could earn him an NFL opportunity as a box safety, but he will need to shine on special teams.

Sanders is a hard-hitting safety who plays with good aggression but lacks consistency and playmaking traits. He will be a 25-year-old rookie, and he has missed time due to injuries in each of the last three seasons. He lacks ideal range and instincts to play high safety, but he has enough vision and aggression to compete as a down safety. Ultimately, he will need to eliminate his inconsistencies with pursuit angles and shine on special teams to have a chance of sticking with an NFL squad.
