The Texas A&M Aggies could end up being well represented once the 2025 NFL Draft rolls around next spring.

The Reese's Senior Bowl released its annual watch list on Thursday, and a whopping 20 Aggies were featured. The event allows both established and lesser-known NFL draft hopefuls to show what they can do in front of scouts from all 32 teams. Clearly Texas A&M is seen as a program that's expected to produce NFL-ready talent next draft cycle if this watch list is any indication.
