2025 NFL draft: College football coaches pick sleepers​

Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia Mountaineers

i

Bio blast: He anchored West Virginia's offensive line for all four years he played, starting at right tackle as a true freshman before moving to the left side in 2022. He didn't allow a sack and allowed only eight pressures in 2023, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors. Milum was even better during his senior season, becoming a consensus All-America selection and earning Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year honors. He started 43 of the 47 games he played and did not allow a sack in 34 of the final 36 in which he appeared.

Scouts Inc. ranking: No. 169 overall, No. 11 guard, grade of 62

What else to know: Milum's lukewarm draft projection doesn't connect with such an accomplished college profile. "His numbers just scream that he's better than that," a former West Virginia staff member said, "but he's getting hit that his arms are short." His arms measured 32⅛ inches at the NFL combine, but he consistently held up against talented pass rushers for multiple seasons, including Penn State's Abdul Carter last fall.
