Filthy rich: How much money every 2025 SEC 1st-round draft pick will make
By Paul Harvey
Published:
The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, and SEC football produced once again a massive showing! Across the 3 days in Green Bay, the SEC led all college football conferences in total selections, including the first round.
On Thursday night, the SEC led all conferences with 15 players selected. That means the conference fell just shy of producing 50% of the total 32 first-round selections to begin the draft.
A total of 4 SEC offensive linemen were drafted in the first round, including the first 3 picks for the conference, all coming from the offensive tackle position. Pass rusher was also an area of focus from the SEC, with 4 defensive ends/outside linebackers drafted on Thursday.
So, how much will each star make to begin their NFL journeys? Spotrac has compiled the projected salaries and signing bonuses for every first-round pick, and it is a handsome payday for each individual.
