Oregon Seniors in the 2023 NFL Draft
Most of the NFL Draft is comprised of seniors who spent four years in college before attempting to enter the pros. This allows those who don't break out early to continue their development in hopes of closing out their collegiate careers strong.
Oregon has 10 seniors looking to make the jump to the NFL. This group is headlined by linebacker D.J. Johnson, who is projected as a Day 3 pick. He's joined by long snapper Karsten Battles, center Alex Forsyth, guard T.J. Bass, guard Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, punter Adam Barry, center Ryan Walk, wide receiver Chase Cota, defensive lineman Jordan Riley, and safety Bennett Williams.

Most Likely Oregon Players to Be Drafted in 2023
The scouting combine hosts the very best from the country for a showcase in front of every NFL front office. However, not every player looking to become a pro is invited to this event. The invite list then gives us a good look at the players from each school with the strongest chances of being drafted, or signing as free agents.
Oregon had six players invited to the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine: Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, T.J. Bass, Alex Forsyth, Christian Gonzalez, D.J. Johnson, and Noah Sewell. There's a good possibility most of this group hears their names called at some point during the draft.
