The deadline for underclassmen to declare their entry into the 2023 NFL draft comes Monday afternoon. The most prominent player who had yet to declare his intentions, Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud, took almost until the deadline to formally declare.
Stroud announced he will be in the 2023 NFL draft, forgoing his college eligibility for the Buckeyes. There were more than a few whispers that Stroud would remain in Columbus with the potential to earn more money from NIL agreements than he would in the NFL, but those proved to be just rumors.
