There are just over two weeks remaining until the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay. Teams around the league are doing their due diligence on prospects and arranging their boards ahead of the action.

Former Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer is earning interest from multiple franchises as the draft gets closer and closer. He's improved his stock following performances at the Reese's Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.

On Wednesday, Farmer was on a top-30 visit to the New England Patriots. The Patriots hold multiple selections in Farmer's range as they're slated to make six selections during the first 150 picks, including No. 38, No. 69, No. 77, No. 106, and No. 144.

This is a deep defensive line class and Farmer has a chance to be a top-100 selection. New England has a new head coach after hiring former star Mike Vrabel earlier this year.

Farmer was one of the first recruits to commit to head coach Mike Norvell. He made massive strides with his body from the beginning to the end of his time with the Seminoles. Farmer is an example of the development that Norvell and his coaching staff have put together over the years.

In four years at Florida State, Farmer appeared in 42 games, making 25 starts, while totaling 80 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, one forced fumble, and two pass deflections. He tied a career-high with five tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and one sack in FSU's victory on the road against Clemson in 2023. Farmer was a starter on the ACC Championship team that same season.

The 2025 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 24.
