The 2025 NFL Draft isn’t just dominating sports headlines, fans are now openly saying it’s more exciting and popular than the NBA Playoffs.
Across social media, NFL fans have been buzzing. Pointing out how this year’s draft has delivered more drama, chaos and conversation than basketball’s biggest stage. Real tweets show how the feeling is spreading:
And honestly? When you see what’s happened during the draft, it’s hard to argue. This year’s NFL Draft has been nothing short of wild.
Instead of quiet, predictable picks, we’ve seen historic moments and shocking storylines almost nonstop:
- The stunning Shedeur Sanders saga: where the highly-touted quarterback, once projected as a first-rounder, fell all the way to the fifth round before being picked by the Broncos. A storyline that generated more debates and more drama than anything happening during the NBA Playoffs.
- Blockbuster trades shaking up the top of the draft.
- A Hall of Famer giving up his retired number for a rookie (Warren Moon handing Cam Ward the legendary No. 1 jersey).
And much more. Meanwhile, NBA Playoffs coverage feels… quieter.
Yes, the games are good but where’s the chaos, the “I can’t believe that just happened” moments? Where’s the culture-shifting energy that the NFL is putting on display before a single snap is even played?
The NFL has turned draft night into an entertainment spectacle that outpaces full NBA playoff series in fan interest and conversation. And fans are noticing, loudly.
