Hall of Football

The countdown is on for the 2025 NFL Draft. College players and NFL teams have mostly declared — the players on whether they will enter the draft and the teams on where they will pick. And fans buzzing on social media about how the latter should address the former. How the draft will shape up and play out became a little more clear thanks to a big weekend of college and NFL postseason football. Some of the college players who will be selected at Lambeau Field in April played Monday night when the Ohio State Buckeyes won their ninth National Championship, defeating Notre Dame, 34-23. Meanwhile, the NFL Divisional Round took place on Saturday and Sunday, with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles beating the Lions and Rams, respectively. They play the NFC title game in Philadelphia on Sunday. In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills, who beat Baltimore, travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs, who ousted Houston. With a win over Buffalo, KC takes yet another step closer to pro football’s first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
