Like the 2016 drafts, the 2023 editions will feature a wide receiver, not a running back, as the first overall pick. Justin Jefferson is the name of the wideout.

The Vikings' all-star just finished a season in which he set career highs in receptions (128), yards (1,809), touchdowns (8), and points (368.7) in the point-after-catch metric. He also topped his position in both receiving yards and receiving yards after the catch. Jefferson was also top 10 in missed tackles per reception and had the eighth-most yards after contact.
