The Las Vegas Raiders have chosen two quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft, with an intriguing twist: one, Tommy Mellott from Montana State, is being repurposed as a wide receiver. Raiders' scouting director Brandon Yeargan has touted Mellott as a multifaceted athlete, likely to play various roles including returning kicks and potentially stepping in at quarterback.

Mellott, a versatile player, has often drawn comparisons to Julian Edelman, who excelled in multiple roles for the New England Patriots. His college career began as a receiver before transitioning to quarterback, showcasing his adaptability. The Raiders are eager to leverage his skills, with Mellott himself expressing his intent to perfect his craft and contribute in whatever capacity needed as he begins his professional journey in Las Vegas.
