Potential 2025 NFL Draft Landing Spots for Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard

Trevor Lawrence is the starter here and has dealt with injury issues the last few years but the Jaguars see both Mac Jones and C.J. Beathard hit free agency this offseason.

Riley Leonard NFL Draft: Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford wants out of Los Angeles but also noteworthy here is backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hitting free agency. The Rams look to have a big need for backup quarterback and Leonard's athleticism mixed with Sean McVay's offense could be interesting.

Riley Leonard NFL Draft: Dallas Cowboys

If you believe in a backup quarterback running the same offense as the starter then the last few I've got for you make sense. Leonard would come from a Notre Dame offense to a Cowboys offense that is built on every back, including the quarterback, being a ball carrier.

Riley Leonard NFL Draft: Baltimore Ravens

Leonard clearly isn't the thrower that Lamar Jackson is but extending plays and being in an offense that tries to put the ball in the air as little as possible fits to the Notre Dame product's strengths as a player.

Riley Leonard NFL Draft: Pittsburgh Steelers

If this were roughly 15-years ago, the Steelers drafting a mobile quarterback to take advantage of his athleticism would be almost a shoo-in. Pittsburgh has needs atop the quarterback depth chart which Leonard wouldn't solve, but his ability as a runner could make him an interesting depth piece for the Steelers if he falls late in the draft.
