And if those same players came out today, their cards woudn't be super anticipated going into their rookie years. One would have had less than zero buzz and likely had his base cards today immediately junked, and the other was picked in the 80s/3rd round.
So the point is nobody knows.....initially there won't be a lot of card buzz for anyone past cam or shadeur. But history shows up we don't always know who the all time greats will be, and so we don't know what the iconic cards might be either.

Hear, hear. ^^
This is a very good post.
NFL is obviously very situational. It can take both time and circumstance, especially for QBs.
However, even guys like Ewers and Milroe went back to college for 2024 because they were almost undraftable among the 2024 prospects. Ditto for Ward and Sanders (would've been late picks 2024). I'm not saying they couldn't end up good... but we know what NFL scouts/teams thought of them. There are no Caleb total package or Rattler or Penix arms or Daniels/Maye athleticism or Nix level of experience in this year's class. That just doesn't scream "sleeper" for the guys drafted this April.
[fwiw, I think Milroe is the most pro-ready among 2025 and might be an ok backup or low end starter at NFL level - depending on team land spot, but that's not saying much]
