The NFL Draft is finally here. For these prospects, this marks the first day of a career many of them have been dreaming about since they were young.
The top players are here with the hope of becoming a first-round pick. The first day of the event is the only one that holds just a singular round, with Day 2 bringing Rounds 2 and 3 and concluding with Rounds 4-7 on Day 3.
The Las Vegas Raiders are first on the board, followed by the New York Jets at No. 2, Arizona Cardinals at No. 3, Tennessee Titans at No. 4 and the New York Giants closing out the top five. The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks hold the No. 32 pick, the final pick of the first round.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Bengals do not currently have a pick in the first round.
Some of the top prospects include Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State EDGE Arvell Reese, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano and Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. These top players, among others, have put in the work from college play, the combine, to pro days, top-30 visits and video calls with teams. Now it all comes down to the biggest event of the offseason.
Such an important day of course calls for an outfit that rises to the occasion. Here's a look at the prospects arriving to the draft, along with what they are sporting:
