On the defensive side of the ball, Western Michigan’s Marshawn Kneeland and Missouri’s Darius Robinson stood out among the defensive linemen with their impressive performances and rave reviews from coaches.
In the secondary, Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama edge rusher Dallas Turner displayed impressive speed and agility, further adding to their draft stock. Penn State continued its tradition of producing top-tier talent with players like Chop Robinson, Theo Johnson, and Daequan Hardy impressing at the Combine.
Rounding out the notable prospects are Wolverines standout Mike Sainristil and Clemson’s Will Shipley, who are both expected to make an impact in the draft process. As the 2023 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes will be on these talented prospects as they look to make their mark at the next level.
