San Jose State wide receiver Nick Nash, despite not showcasing exceptional testing numbers, has drawn interest from ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick for the 2025 NFL Draft. Riddick praises Nash's instinct, production, and potential upside, suggesting he could be a valuable addition for teams like the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, or Minnesota Vikings.
The Rams, who boast a strong wide receiver duo in Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, may consider adding depth at the position in the upcoming draft. While the team may not prioritize a Day 1 or Day 2 selection for a receiver, they could target a late-round prospect like Nash to develop behind their current lineup. Nash's impressive performance in 2024, leading the FBS in receiving touchdowns and the Mountain West Conference in receptions and yards, has garnered attention despite his average combine metrics. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com projects Nash as a potential fifth-round pick, indicating a strategic decision ahead for the Rams regarding his selection in the draft.
