Now that the 2023 NFL draft is complete, the work begins for the newest players in the league to start carving out roles for themselves as rookies.
With just over four months between the NFL draft and the first week of the season, the work to get acclimated begins almost immediately, with rookie minicamps set to take place over the next two weekends before full-team offseason workouts begin. And it’s important for each of Ohio State’s 2023 NFL draft picks to get off to a strong start.
C.J. Stroud, Paris Johnson Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will all be expected to play major roles right away as first-round picks.
