Seemingly every year, there is an NFL Draft prospect who hits the red carpet with something worth talking about. In 2025, it was former Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.
The likely top-10 pick stole the show Thursday with a custom suit and, more importantly, a pair of Swarovski crystal-studded black Crocs. Iconic swag or crime against fashion? We’ll let you decide.
Jeanty also told Yahoo Sports he was sporting an American flag and a Haitian flag in honor of his roots. The 21-year-old is coming off a junior season in which he led the nation with 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground, earning him a second-place finish in the Heisman Trophy voting.

Elsewhere, some of the loudest suits belonged to Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden.
Colorado Heisman winner Travis Hunter also showed up with his mother and his fiancée, sporting a pink jacket with black shirt, tie and pants.
Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter, seen by many as the top full-time defensive player in the draft, had what appeared to be a black tunic and “INCRDBL” chain.
Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the prohibitive favorite to go first overall to the Tennessee Titans, went much more low-key, with a tan Hugo Boss suit and white T-shirt.
One guy who tried, and somewhat failed, to keep it casual was LSU guard Will Campbell, who was sporting a green pinstriped suit, and a Rolex, and a pair of white sneakers from Louis Vuitton.
Michigan cornerback Will Johnson sported one piece of bling none of the above players could, a College Football Playoff championship ring.
And then there was Shedeur Sanders.

The Colorado quarterback, quite possibly the biggest question mark of the draft, opted to stay home rather than attend the first round in person. That didn’t stop him from showcasing his jewelry collection.
The players weren’t the only attendees dressing up either. The Green Bay locals, hosting the draft for the first time in the NFL’s smallest market, made sure to represent the Packers in what we might call exotic fashion.
The 2025 NFL Draft is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET in Green Bay.
