Washington has been a hotbed for getting their players to the NFL. Jon Wilner in his Pac-12 football: Ranking the top prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft article names Washington’s Zion Tupuola-Fetui and Jaxson Kirkland in his top-10 NFL Draft prospects in the Pac-12.

Wilner listed Tupuola-Fetuui as his No. 1 NFL Pac-12 prospect. In UW’s Spring Preview ZTF had a a tackle for loss and a nice chase-down tackle in the first three plays of the scrimmage.

Here is what Jon Wilner said about Tupuola-Fetui;”Admittedly, this selection requires two leaps of faith: 1) That Tupuola-Fetui’s rehabilitated Achilles tendon remains structurally sound, and 2) That his performance returns to pre-injury form. After all, ‘ZTF’ led the nation in sacks per game (1.75) in the shortened 2020 season, and perhaps no skill is more coveted on Day One of the draft than the ability to rush the passer. That said, it’s clear the Pac-12 currently does not possess an obvious top-15 selection — there’s no ’22 equivalent to Kayvon Thibodeaux or Drake London. At least not yet.”

Wilner listed Jaxson Kirkland as his No. 4 NFL Pac-12 prospect. The 6-foot-7, 310-pound left tackle did not participate in spring ball as he still awaits the decision from the NCAA on his eligibility for a sixth season. When healthy, Kirkland is a first round talent.

Here’s what Wilner said about Kirkland;” The mammoth (6-foot-7) left tackle passed on the ’22 draft and returns for his final season in Seattle as one of the top offensive line prospects in the country. A two-time, first-team all-conference selection, Kirkland will receive first-round consideration if he avoids performance regression and serious injury. For Kirkland and the entire UW offense, it cannot get any worse than last season.”

The Huskies have had 35 players drafted since 2014.
