NFL DRAFT RISERS:

Anthony Richardson QB- Florida Gators:

The 2022 season began as a fascination around Anthony Richardson becoming a playmaker that NFL teams covet at the next level.

Will Levis QB- Kentucky Wildcats:

Will Levis had an up-and-down 2022 season, but like his counterpart Anthony Richardson, the highlights will elevate his draft status around the NFL. The front office sees the talent, and coaching staffs believe they can fix the rest.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB- Alabama Crimson Tide:

We knew that Jahmyr Gibbs was a talented running back at Georgia Tech, but transferring to Alabama opened up the eyes of scouts. This season, Gibbs was allowed to show off a complete skill set. The NFL is more aware now than ever that RBs have short shelf lives, but that won't stop a team from making Jahmyr Gibbs a top-50 selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Christian Gonzalez CB- Oregon Ducks:

Perhaps no player in college football has elevated his draft stock more than Christian Gonzalez of Oregon. We heard whispers in the Spring of this physically gifted defensive back in the Pacific Northwest, but seeing is believing, and once we saw Gonzalez on the field, you understand the appeal. Christian Gonzalez has the ideal size and length for the NFL CB position and could be the top CB off the board in the 2023 NFL Draft class.

Joey Porter Jr. CB- Penn State Nittany Lions:

If the name sounds familiar, it should. The son of former NFL LB Joey Porter, Junior plays the game with a physicality that rivals his father. NFL teams will love his grit, passion, and lockdown potential. Porter Jr. is firmly in the 1st round conversation and could rise as high as the CB1 in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Tyree Wilson DE- Texas Tech Red Raiders:

Is Tyree Wilson wildly inconsistent? Yes. Are there things that Wilson does that make spectators' jaw drop? Yes. One of the boom-or-bust prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft, Tyree Wilson will be a fascinating topic of conversation in the next few months.

Jared Verse DE/OLB- Florida State Seminoles:

Jared Verse put it all on display in the 1st half of the season. Verse rivals even the best Edge Rushers in this class of explosiveness and playmaking ability. A Top 10 selection is not out of the question.

BJ Ojulari DE/OLB- LSU Tigers:

Everything on and off the field has the NFL Draft arrow pointing upward for BJ Ojulari. The LSU coaching staff and teammates rave about Ojulari as a player, teammate, and leader. NFL teams will fall in love with a player with untapped potential.
