Jaylin Noel’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Jaylin Noel might be one of the most underrated WR prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was productive right out of the gate at Iowa State but peaked with 81 catches for 1,194 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024.
Noel’s testing numbers at 5’10”, 194 pounds — a 4.39 40-yard dash, 41.5″ vertical, 11’2″ broad jump, 6.82 three-cone, and a bench press count of 23 — are elite across the board, and it’s reflective of a truly rare three-level skill set that Noel brings on tape.
Noel plays with supercharged energy in short areas, and he has the hyper-elite burst and speed to compound separation, threaten vertical, and extend short RAC passes for big gains.
A cherry on top is his catching reliability; he had just a 3.4% drop rate in 2024. If your offense needs a weapon, Noel can be that player.

Cummings said, “With his speed, electric short-area twitch, and big-play generation at multiple levels, Jaylin Noel can be Sean Payton’s modern iteration of 2017 Ted Ginn — only better.”
