With the 2023 NFL draft just days away, former Ohio State football star, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, is likely to be the first receiver off the board. He unfortunately missed most of last season with a hamstring injury, but his Big Ten record of 1,606 receiving yards in 2021 is more than enough evidence that he deserves to be a coveted prospect.

There will be plenty of OSU stars that either parade across the stage beginning Thursday night or get a phone call of a lifetime, but Smith-Njigba’s case is an interesting one with the skills he possesses and what we didn’t get to see from him last season.
