Both of Ohio State’s offensive tackles from last season will have a busy travel schedule leading up to the 2023 NFL draft.
A source told Eleven Warriors that Paris Johnson Jr. will be visiting the Arizona Cardinals, who hold the No. 3 overall pick, while NFL draft analyst Jared Tokarz reported Johnson will also be visiting the Chicago Bears (who hold the No. 1 overall pick and could be interested in Johnson in a trade-down scenario) and the Philadelphia Eagles (who hold the 10th pick).

Dawand Jones, meanwhile, has reportedly already scheduled pre-draft visits with seven NFL teams: the Eagles, Washington Commanders, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks.

Each NFL team is allowed to host 30 prospects on pre-draft visits, so Johnson already having visits lined up with three teams picking in the top 10 and Jones having visits lined up with seven different teams speaks to the level of interest the NFL has in both of them.
