Tommy Mellott

Raiders selected Montana State WR Tommy Mellott with the No. 213 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Mellott was a high school quarterback who briefly played receiver for Montana State before returning to his natural position during the FCS playoffs. He took over as the full-time starter in his next season and never gave up the gig, posting a 33-8 record under center. He threw for 6,016 yards and ran for 3,517 yards in his career. Mellott is returning to receiver in the pros and was drafted by a Raiders team partially owned by Tom Brady. This, of course, has earned him the Julian Edelman comparison. While there aren’t many examples of this transition working, Mellott’s 9.68 RAS, headline by a 4.39 Forty, gives him the athleticism necessary to learn a new position in Vegas.
