Every Big Ten player drafted in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft

The 2023 NFL Draft is officially in the books and the Big Ten conference had a great weekend sending their fair share of young athletes to the next level. Obviously, our focus and love go to the Ohio State Buckeyes, but when you watch years of Big Ten football, you tend to get acquainted with the rivals as well and there is no shame in keeping track.

The Southeastern Conference had the most prospects drafted with 62 and that makes sense considering their dominance of the college football landscape, but the Big Ten is not far behind and had 55 players selected. The Michigan Wolverines were at the top of the mountain as far as prospects drafted with 9 drafted, but Ohio State was close behind tied for second with the Penn State Nittany Lions at six.
