The future of professional football will take center stage April 27-29 for the 2023 NFL Draft. Here's a look at South Carolina track and field alumni. The 2023 NFL Draft is in Union Station in Kansas City, the 88th annual meeting of franchises to select newly eligible players for the upcoming season. All seven rounds of the draft will air live across ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.
The Draft highlight packages for each player will showcase the level of athleticism it takes to compete at the highest level of professional football. For many of the top prospects, those skills were honed on high school tracks and fields across America.
As specialization continues to become more prevalent in sports, many college coaches with proven records of sending athletes to the pros still prefer recruiting multi-sport high school athletes to their programs.
