2026 NFL draft rankings: Field Yates' top 25 prospects
"A lot can change between now and the start of the draft on April 23. For one, players from Indiana and Miami have until January 23 to declare for the draft. There are still predraft events, the combine and pro days over the next three months. We'll also learn more about lingering injury situations for a handful of top prospects."
"The Heisman Trophy winner brings a comprehensive skill set led by exceptional accuracy to all levels of the field, a powerful arm and a rock solid stature. Mendoza has completed 73% of his passes this season (third-highest in FBS), including five separate games with a completion percentage north of 85%. He has 41 touchdowns passes to six interceptions. Mendoza has the functional mobility to navigate the pocket, and he showed improvements with his decision-making in one season at Indiana after two years at Cal."
The 2025 college football season concludes Monday with the College Football Playoff national championship. Many prospects remain undecided with players from Indiana and Miami having until January 23 to declare for the 2026 NFL draft. Predraft events, the NFL combine and pro days will take place over the next three months while injury statuses for several top prospects will continue to evolve. An initial top-25 prospect ranking lists college standouts, and quarterback Dante Moore's decision to return to Oregon altered prior projections. Heisman winner Mendoza demonstrates elite accuracy, a powerful arm, improved decision-making and reduced sack totals.
