The 2023 NFL Draft is set to begin on Thursday night when 32 of the best players in college football will hear their names called in the first round.
It has been a tradition for those expected to be drafted in the first round to be present at the draft and dress extravagantly. Some of the best draft day outfits were revealed hours before the draft is set to start.
It’s obviously a huge day for those who will be selected. Many of them dressed accordingly and appear eager for the special occasion.
While some players go for the flashy look, others take things a much more sentimental route. This was the case with Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers, who had pictures from his childhood stitched into his suit of his family members.

Meanwhile, USC wide receiver Jordan Addison went with a different approach. He stitched pictures of dollar bills that he will receive when he is likely selected in the draft.
