Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, linebacker Will Anderson Jr., running back Jahmyr Gibbs and defensive back Brian Branch announced on Monday that they are declaring for the 2023 NFL draft.
Young and Anderson, two of the top prospects in the draft, could potentially be selected No. 1. Entering the offseason, Anderson is the top overall prospect according to NFL Draft Bible, while Young is the top quarterback and third overall prospect.
Right now, the Texans are in position to make the No. 1 pick, and with their need for a quarterback, Young could be the choice. The Bears currently are poised to pick second, followed by the Seahawks at third and Cardinals at fourth. Each of those teams likely will have interest in Anderson.
