Tommy Mellott NFL Draft Projection
Tommy Mellott is projected to be selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft or get signed as an undrafted free agent, per Draft Scout’s database.
He is ranked as the No. 317 overall prospect and the No. 16 quarterback.
Tommy Mellott NFL Draft Profile
Montana State benched its FBS transfer quarterback Matthew McKay before the 2021 FCS playoffs and inserted redshirt freshman Tommy Mellott. It was a risk. But it paid off and began a legendary career for Mellott, a Montana native.
He led the Bobcats in that 2021 postseason to a national championship appearance. MSU then reached the 2022 semifinals, the 2023 second round, and the 2024 national championship game.
Mellott finished his MSU career with 33 quarterback wins (second-most in school history), 43 rushing touchdowns (2nd), 3,523 rushing yards (2nd), 5,810 passing yards (5th), and 53 passing touchdowns (5th).
In 2024, he was PFF’s No. 1-graded FCS quarterback and won the Walter Payton Award as the best FCS offensive player. Mellott finished with 2,759 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 1,050 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Mellott wasn’t on the NFL Draft radar until his Montana State pro day. He showed why he was thought to be one of the best overall athletes in the FCS. He recorded a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, 4.2-second shuttle, 6.93-second 3-cone drill, 41-inch vertical, 10-4 broad jump, and 19 reps on the bench press. While he was limited in his throwing in his first few seasons, Mellott developed into a very good passer in 2024. Is he an NFL quarterback? Probably not. He will likely convert to wide receiver and perhaps also be used behind center in certain packages if an offensive coordinator knows how to best utilize him.
Mellott will be a project for whoever drafts him or signs him as an undrafted free agent. He has NFL-level athleticism. Where exactly he fits in an offense is to be determined, but his ceiling is Julian Edelman, who played quarterback at Kent State before transitioning to a return specialist and wide receiver.
