When the Rams choose in the first round, will he still be available? Maybe, but his secret is now public knowledge.
In the 2025 NFL Draft, it would be tough to overlook the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive rookie prospects from Iowa State. More precisely, WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, both of whom are highly skilled rookie wide receiver prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, are from Iowa State. As you can see, Nate Scheelhaase, the former offensive coordinator at Iowa State, is now a member of the Rams coaching staff and was just elevated to the position of passing game coordinator.
The offensive mastermind who helped then-QB Brock Purdy succeed in the NFL was Scheelhaase. The NFL careers of two receivers who had profited from Scheelhaase’s coaching are now on the horizon. Additionally, the connection to the Rams is only a logical and natural next step given the personal relationship to LA Rams coach Nate Scheelhaase.
Of course, that connection will only become a factor if Jayden Higgins or Jaylin Noel are on the draft board when the LA Rams make a selection. It’s late in the process, but legendary NFL WR Steve Smith Sr. has been breaking down Jayden Higgins production and style, and asserts that Higgins could be among the top-three best rookie wide receivers in this draft.
That is knowing that the list include Colorado WR Travis Hunter, Missouri WR Luther Burden III, Texas WR Matthew Golden, Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka, TCU WR Jack Bech, and Iowa State WR Jaydin Higgins. That’s a lot of talent on fhe draft board. So, what do these analysts see in Jayden Higgins to make his so special?
