BJ Ojulari drafted by Arizona Cardinals in 2nd round
The first LSU Tiger has been selected in the 2023 NFL draft. BJ Ojulari was selected on Friday night in the second round with pick No. 41 to the Arizona Cardinals.
Ojulari was an outstanding linebacker and leader at LSU. He wore the famed No. 18 for the Tigers as he embodied what it means to be a Tiger during his career.
Last season, Ojulari had 58 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and one forced fumble. He played in 34 games during his LSU career and finished with 129 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks in his career.
He will be a great edge rusher at the next level for the Arizona Cardinals as they will likely use him on long third downs to get after opposing quarterbacks. That was one of his best traits going into the draft and that is a big reason why he was drafted this high.
