In Tennessee, excitement is in the air as the 2025 NFL rookie class is officially set. Fans are now looking forward to catching their favorite players in action and possibly purchasing their new jerseys. The Tennessee Titans have made a big announcement: they are bringing the legendary No. 1 jersey out of retirement for quarterback Cam Ward, with the blessing of NFL icon Warren Moon. This move has thrilled Titans fans who are eager to see Ward add his name to the storied history of the franchise.
Meanwhile, the New York Giants faced a unique situation. Rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter had hoped to wear the number 56, a request that was denied. The Giants are one of two teams that will need to assign new numbers to their first-round picks. They traded into the first round to snag quarterback Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss with the 25th pick. He joins a packed quarterback room that includes experienced players Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
Another team making waves is the Atlanta Falcons, who selected two first-round talents. They picked Jalon Walker, a pass rusher from Georgia, at 15th overall, and then made a move to acquire James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee with the 26th pick, sending a future first-round selection to the Los Angeles Rams.
