ESPN has released its Top 25 available players ahead of Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft. As teams continue to look for playmakers to add to their franchise, there’s plenty of talent on the board to choose from.

First, quarterback Sam Howell of North Carolina leads the way, topping ESPN’s list. The former Tar Heels star was projected to be the No. 1 overall selection in mock drafts prior to the beginning of last year’s college football season. Now, he awaits his fate, and he’ll likely be off the board early in Round 4.

Additionally, there are plenty of running backs available to choose from. Texas A&M’s Isaiah Spiller will be an interesting name to watch, with Dameon Pierce of Florida and Zamir White of Georgia following close behind.

Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft will wrap up the event from Las Vegas, with Round 4 through Round 7. With the draft resuming at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, here’s who ESPN believes are the Top 25 best available players for Day 3.
