Monday night’s matchup between the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs and the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs will pit college football’s remaining two teams against each other with a national championship on the line. But college football fans aren’t the only ones with a stake in the game.
The 2022 season finale will also provide a stage for a handful of prospects capable of having an impact in the NFL. In the past, the national championship game has been the backdrop for future Sunday stars like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Patrick Surtain and Jalen Hurts. In the past five years, 130 of the 220 starters across these title games have heard their names called at the NFL Draft.
2023 will provide more pro fodder, even despite the relative lack of blue chip recruits in TCU’s lineup. Here are the names worth watching with a natty on the line if you’re interested in following the next generation of NFL talent.
