259 picks and a record 43 trades later, the 2023 National Football League draft is in the books.
Notes:
SEC is king: For the 17th consecutive year, the SEC led all conferences with 62 players drafted, followed by the Big Ten (54), ACC (32), Big 12 (30) and Pac-12 (27). SEC programs Alabama and Georgia also tied for the lead among all schools with 10 drafted players each.
The Boston Bruins tore through the National Hockey League this season, notching a record 65 wins. But when the playoffs arrived, they could manage only three.
Driving the news: The Florida Panthers beat the Bruins, 4-3 (OT), in Sunday's Game 7, stunning a Boston crowd that had spent the past six months witnessing history.
