X map shows U.S. split between Ward, Carter for No. 1 draft pick

NFL fans are divided on who should be the first player off the board in this year's draft.

A map created by BetOnline.ag based on geotagged X data from the last week, including over 110,000 tweets, shows Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the most popular pick to go No. 1 overall in 24 states across the U.S., followed closely by Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter with 19 states.

Colorado two-way star and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is also a fan favorite, with seven states predicting he'll be selected first.

The 2025 NFL Draft will be held April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
