The next quarterback of the Carolina Panthers will be in Kansas City to collect his jersey two weeks from tonight.
As announced this evening, the 2023 NFL draft will host 17 attendees in the green room for the Thursday night primetime event. They are as follows:
- WR Jordan Addison (USC)
- DE Will Anderson Jr. (Alabama)
- DB Brian Branch (Alabama)
- DT Jalen Carter (Georgia)
- WR Zay Flowers (Boston College)
- CB Christian Gonzalez (Oregon)
- OT Paris Johnson Jr. (Ohio State)
- QB Will Levis (Kentucky)
- CB Joey Porter Jr. (Penn State)
- QB Anthony Richardson (Florida)
- RB Bijan Robinson (Texas)
- WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State)
- QB C.J. Stroud (Ohio State)
- DE Keion White (Georgia Tech)
- DE Tyree Wilson (Texas Tech)
- CB Devon Witherspoon (Illinois)
- QB Bryce Young (Alabama)
One of those prospects, of course, will be selected by the Panthers—who control the entire board with the No. 1 overall pick. As of now, it’s the last name who’s garnering the most buzz for that honor—as Young is currently the odds-on favorite to kick it all off.
The first round begins at 8:00 p.m. ET on April 27.
