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.
This list is going to highlight only the players drafted in the sixth round and finished their career at a Big Ten school. Sorry, transfer portal fans.

No. 189- Los Angeles Rams, Ochaun Mathis, Edge, Nebraska
Rams go with a high upside bet in Ochaun Mathis. Showed so much potential at TCU but stock took a hit this year at Nebraska. Big pass rusher with bend. Also loves to smear QBs: pic.twitter.com/xPN5hbkG1z

No. 202- Jacksonville Jaguars, Christian Braswell, CB, Rutgers
Jaguars add corner depth with Christian Braswell. Undersized but super explosive. Feisty player who had some spicy plays on tape. Played a lot for Rutgers. pic.twitter.com/hvaTFrPLzg
