2023 NFL Draft Invites 17 Prospects To Kansas City Including A Record Four Quarterbacks

. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content.

Here’s the release from The National Football League. It says that 17 college football prospects will be invited to the NFL Player Selection Meeting in Kansas City. Of them, four quarterbacks – Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis – were asked to attend the ceremonies at Kansas City’s Union Station.

Four is a lot of quarterbacks – a record. The reason I state that is I have attended every NFL Draft in what I call the “Red Carpet” era, and all going back to 2005, as press. So, I have every email the NFL sent announcing what prospects were expected to attend the NFL Draft. Generally, you get two, like Matt Corral and Malik Willis last year. Or Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota in 2015 (neither attended). Or three at times, like Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Ryan Tannehill in 2012. Or Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert in 2011. Or EJ Manuel and Geno Smith in 2013. Or Blake Bortels, and Teddy Bridgewater in 2014. Sometimes you get just one, like Sam Bradford in 2010 or Matt Ryan in 2008. In 2007, we had Jamarcus Russell, Brady Quinn.. In 2006 we had Vince Young and Matt Leinart. And in 2005, my first year, we had Aaron Rogers and Alex Smith.

The number, four quarterbacks, speaks to the level of ability of the 2023 QB class, and the rise of the black quarterback this year. A record number of black quarterbacks are expected to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft for 2023.
