For much of its modern history, the Florida State football program has been a pipeline to the NFL.
This week, a new batch of Seminoles will hear their names called and achieve a lifelong dream.
The 2025 NFL draft gets started with Thursday night's first round at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Who from Florida State will find its way to the NFL this week? And where are those players expected to land?

Should Brugler's projection become a reality, it would mark the fifth time in the past seven years that Florida State has had no more than three players selected in the NFL draft.
It's a sharp contrast from where the Seminoles were for much of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, when they were routinely among the college programs with the most players drafted.
