We’ve heard a lot about the top quarterbacks in the 2023 draft, but these 5 players could also make an impact.
While it is unlikely that the NFL will ever see another story exactly like Brock Purdy’s, a quarterback who was literally the last pick of the draft and then as a rookie leads a team into the NFC Championship game and nearly the Super Bowl if not for an injury, it won’t be the last time that we hear of a late-round steal at the position who takes the league by storm.

When the Baltimore Ravens announced they had landed Odell Beckham Jr. Sunday afternoon it was interesting that they did so before the free agent wide receiver signed a contract.
The Ravens only had the word of a player who had earlier told the New York Jets he was visiting them on Monday and changed course, but the club stepped out and announced it had agreed “in principle” to a contract anyway.

The Baltimore Ravens have added a big piece to their passing game, signing Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year contract that will be worth “up to” $18 million according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. It’s a good fantasy landing spot, as the Ravens lacked a true alpha wide receiver and could throw the ball more under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
Still, I wouldn’t be looking for Beckham to reclaim his role as a fantasy superstar.
Owen’s car flipped multiple times in air before crashing
Fever general manager Lin Dunn was in Dallas for the women’s Final Four when her phone flooded with messages of congratulations. At first, Dunn was unsure what could have happened to make her phone blow up to this degree, but soon it became clear. Aliyah Boston had announced her decision to forgo her extra year of availability at South Carolina and declare for the WNBA draft. With this year’s No. 1 pick, it’s all but certain Indiana will select the former NCAA champion and former Naismith Player of the Year.
“Obviously, we’re very high on Aliyah Boston,” says Dunn.
Almost exactly 10 years ago to the day a Chinese boy named Guan Tianlang made headlines when he became the youngest player to compete in the Masters. At just 14 years of age, Guan seemed impossibly young to be playing one of the most feared golf courses in the world. But he was brilliant that week.

The sky is the limit for athletic Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez
The 2023 NFL Draft class is loaded at the cornerback position. As things currently stand, as many as six cornerbacks could be selected in the first round with three likely to go in the top 15 picks. Perhaps the one with the highest ceiling of the bunch is University of Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez. The University of Colorado transfer is one of the best athletes in the class, which in turn gives him one of the highest ceilings amongst any player.
Auburn fans might be sweating after watching the team’s QBs during the program’s spring game.
Spring games are a great opportunity for fans to get an early look at the roster for the upcoming season. It’s an easy way for people to get excited, and spring games are always more fun when there’s a QB battle underway.
Well, the opposite might be true for the Tigers after Saturday. Robby Ashford, TJ Finley and Holden Geriner combined to go an abysmal 5-12 through air for 60 net yards in wet and rainy conditions, according to the Dothan Eagle.
Hendon Hooker is generating some serious interest ahead of the NFL Draft getting underway.
The NFL Draft will open with the first round April 27, and C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young are viewed as the top two quarterbacks.
After those two, there’s a second group of possible first rounders that includes Anthony Richardson, Will Levis and Hendon Hooker. Hooker might surprise some people by going ahead of the other two former SEC QBs, according to NFL Network reporter James Palmer.
Momentum appears to be growing for Hendon Hooker ahead of the draft.

Here’s our full projection for the 2023 WNBA Draft.
The 2023 WNBA Draft is right around the corner, and while South Carolina star Aliyah Boston is widely expected to be picked No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever, there isn’t nearly as much of a consensus on what will happen after that.
