Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart will not be at the 2025 NFL Draft when his name is called. Dart — who was originally expected to attend the event — apparently changed his mind about that decision with the draft just around the corner, according to ESPN.
Dart was initially listed as one of the 17 players attending the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. The NFL put out an updated list of attendees Thursday, and two players — Dart and Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams — were no longer on the list. Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston was a new addition, meaning a total of 16 players will be at the 2025 NFL Draft.

No reason was given for Dart’s decision to pull out of the event. The prospects who attend the draft are typically players expected to go in the first round. That appears to be the case again this year, as a number of the prospects attending the draft are listed as top-32 prospects on Yahoo Sports’ big board.
Only two players on the list of updated attendees fall outside Yahoo Sport’s top-32, Hairston and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. Hairston ranks 55 on Yahoo Sports’ big board. Milroe ranks 69th.
Dart, meanwhile, ranks 70th on that list. If he did attend the 2025 NFL Draft, he would have been the lowest-ranked Yahoo Sports prospect at the event.
That doesn’t necessarily mean much. Quarterbacks tend to get pushed up in the NFL Draft, and it’s likely Dart and Milroe both go higher than anticipated during the event.

For Dart, however, taking his name off the list of attendees could signal that he isn’t going as early as he expected. Prospects who attend the draft run the risk of increased scrutiny and attention if they unexpectedly fall on draft boards. Aaron Rodgers and Brady Quinn are two of the best examples of that phenomenon. Both players fell much farther than expected during the NFL Draft, and sad shots of them waiting in the green room dominated the conversation on draft night. It’s possible Dart wanted to avoid that situation, and decided he was better off enjoying his moment elsewhere.
It’s also possible Dart had other reasons for declining the event. Maybe he simply wanted to be surrounded by friends and family? We don’t know. His decision doesn’t necessarily have to do with his draft stock.

After throwing for 29 touchdowns, 6 interceptions and an SEC-leading 4,279 yards, Dart will hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft. While there are questions about how he’ll transition to the league, Dart has quality traits. That should be enough to entice certain general managers, especially those who can afford to let Dart sit behind a quality veteran for a season while he adjusts to the NFL.
It doesn’t really matter where Dart is when that call comes. It will be a special moment for him regardless of his location.

Benja indica goleiro perseguido no futebol brasileiro
Benja no comando do programa "Domingol" (Reprodução - YouTube) Benja subiu o tom contra o Corinthians pelo desempenho exibido contra o Flamengo no primeiro tempo do jogo contra o Flamengo, neste domingo (27), no Maracanã, pelo Brasileirão, e alfinetou os críticos de Matheus Donelli, goleiro que vinha sendo titular antes da volta de Hugo Souza. Na concepção do jornalista, se Donelli estivesse defendendo a meta alvinegra, certamente iriam responsabilizá-lo pelos três tentos sofridos na primeira etapa de jogo, uma vez que o arqueiro, diante da ausência de Hugo Souza, foi bastante questionado em partidas anteriores. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Hugo não teve nenhuma culpa nos gols, mas se fosse o Donelli hoje já iriam arrumar um culpado…”, disparou Benja, quando o placar estava 2 a 0, antes de Hugo Souza falhar no terceiro tento do rubro-negro, em bola recuada. “Hoje não tem […]
Craque Neto sinaliza clube com “apito forte” no Brasileirão Série A
Craque Neto, apresentador da Band (Reprodução) Craque Neto, ao longo do primeiro tempo de Flamengo x Corinthians, reclamou com o árbitro. Inicialmente, após Léo Ortiz acertar Memphis Depay, o ex-jogador considera que o zagueiro, que escapou do cartão amarelo, deveria ter sido advertido. Logo depois, como Romero foi punido após acertar Wesley, houve uma sinalização de que o clube carioca tem uma “vantagem” atrelada ao apito. “A chegada do Léo Ortiz foi forte demais! Mas o árbitro não viu. Nunca vê contra o Flamengo!”, disse o Craque Neto, em transmissão no YouTube. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Que coisa, né? Ele dá amarelo para o Romero, mas não dá amarelo para o Léo Ortiz. Você como o apito do Flamengo é tão forte. É a mesma jogada. Era para cartão amarelo, como era para o Léo Ortiz, mas não foi.”, acrescentou. Atropelo do […]
What I’m hearing about the Flyers’ coaching search and recent changes
Quiet so far.The Philadelphia Flyers don’t seem to be in much of a rush when it comes to naming their next head coach. According to a team source, nothing of note has transpired since the end of the season about a week and a half ago, and they’re still in the stage of internally discussing options.AdvertisementBut there have still been some notable developments around the league that could impact their ultimate decision.Many have their eyes fixed on Vancouver and what comes next for their coach, Rick Tocchet.
