Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler headline a group of Buckeyes still seeking an opportunity at the next level on the final day of the 2023 NFL draft.

Jones, who suffered an injury on the first day of Senior Bowl practice in February, did not participate in every workout at the combine and did not participate at all in Ohio State's 2023 pro day. Still, Jones said last month that he expected to be drafted anywhere from 31st overall to late in the second round of the NFL draft. Perhaps Jones could still wind up an early fourth-round selection on Saturday, but falling out of the third round was something of a surprise in the first place.
Beyond Jones and Wypler, who are still likely locks to hear their names called Saturday, players like Ronnie Hickman, Cameron Brown and Tanner McCalister are among the former Buckeyes who could sneak into the picture as late-round picks. “I don’t think a lot of people – I knew they thought I was athletic – I mean, you can’t play at Ohio State and not be athletic. But I didn’t think they thought I was gonna put up the numbers I did,” McCalister said at pro day.Far From An NFL Draft Lock, Tanner McCalister Has the Tools to Be"A Great Professional" At the Next Level
“They gave me the mindset of an NFL player,” Brown said. “Most college coaches try to just teach certain things, but they showed me the more detailed part of the game that’s not only athletic ability. Because when you get to the NFL, everybody's talented, everybody's athletic. It's all about what are you going to do with it.”
