No BYU players were taken in the 2025 NFL draft.

The 2025 draft was a major disappointment for the BYU football program.

The team went 11-2 in 2024 and had one of the better senior classes in recent memory.

The good news is that after the draft, eight former Cougars were given opportunities to continue their careers.

Chase Roberts , Chase Roberts and Keanu Tanuvasa are among those expected to be drafted in the 2026 NFL draft.

Jack Kelly , Jack Glasker and Weylin Lapuaho could also be in the mix.

Jake Retzlaff , Carsen Ryan and Siale Esera could also move on to some NFL draft boards, if they have the kind of seasons that are expected of many of them.
