This is part of a series looking at potential 2023 NFL draft picks from the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University.
BOWLING GREEN — Since the turn of the century, Bowling Green State University has not had many defensive players selected in the NFL draft.
Karl Brooks is hoping to change that this weekend.
Brooks, one of the best linemen in BGSU history, will look to become the Falcons’ first defensive selection since tackle Chris Jones was chosen in the sixth round by the Houston Texans in 2013. Brooks has a solid chance at being BGSU’s seventh NFL draft pick in the last 20 years and first since wide receiver Scotty Miller was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019.
