Top 10 College Football Stars Who Went UNDRAFTED in 2025 NFL Draft
Who are the best undrafted NFL players of 2025? George Wrighster breaks down 10 overlooked stars from the 2025 NFL Draft UDFA class who could become game-changers. In this episode of the Unafraid Show, George Wrighster reveals the top 10 undrafted players from the 2025 NFL Draft, spotlighting under-the-radar talent who could make a major impact despite not hearing their name called on draft weekend. From record-setting wide receivers to elite defenders and dominant offensive linemen, these UDFAs are ready to prove doubters wrong. 👀 Featured UDFAs in this episode include: Andrew Armstrong (Dolphins WR) – Led the SEC in receptions and yards. NFL scouts doubted his speed, but his 6'4" frame and sure hands say otherwise. Nick Nash (Falcons WR) – Converted QB who led FBS in catches and yards. Underrated due to competition level, but the tape doesn’t lie. Cobee Bryant (Falcons DB) – A 3-time First-Team All-Big 12 selection with a knack for turnovers. NFL teams may regret passing on this shutdown corner. Seth McLaughlin (Bengals OL) – Rimington Trophy winner with elite college experience. Injury hurt his stock, but his talent is undeniable. Howard Cross III (Bengals DT) – Undersized but disruptive. Familiarity with DC Al Golden gives him a leg up in Cincinnati. Elijhah Badger (Chiefs WR) – Speed, production, and big-play ability. The Chiefs might have struck gold again. Luke Grimm (Chargers WR) – Slippery route-runner with a nose for big plays. Could be a surprise fit in Jim Harbaugh’s system. Ben Yurosek (Vikings TE) – Injuries dropped his stock, but if healthy, he’s a versatile weapon with great hands. Xavier Restrepo (Titans WR) – Miami's all-time leading receiver and first-down machine. Chemistry with Cam Ward could revive his reputation. 🧠 Discussion Topics: Why these players went undrafted despite elite production NFL team fits and depth chart opportunities Pro comps and predictions for their rookie seasons Are NFL scouts overthinking small-school or injury-prone talent?

INTERVIEW w/Clemson HC Dabo Swinney: He Will NEVER Change
Clemson Tigers Head Coach Dabo Swinney sits down with George Wrighster on Unafraid Show for a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation. From the grit and faith that shaped his journey to the values that guide Clemson’s football culture, Coach Swinney opens up like never before. He explains why he’s never worried about the outside noise, how his first staff meeting at Clemson laid the groundwork for a championship culture, and why “equipping men” off the field is even more important than developing talent on it. He also talks about seeing his hero Deion Sanders. Dabo speaks candidly about the impact of faith, how personal struggles became assets, and the mindset that’s helped him maintain both a thriving football program and a 30+ year marriage. He also dives into the changing landscape of college football—from NIL and the transfer portal to Deion Sanders' influence and the need for a more streamlined NCAA calendar. Whether you're a diehard Clemson fan or just love the game, this is an inspiring and insightful look at one of college football’s most passionate and purpose-driven leaders. 🔥 Key Quotes: "It’s the greatest time in the history of football to go to college."
