KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three of the top college prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft got their fix of chicken tenders at Raising Cane's on Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri.
Quarterback Bryce Young from the University of Alabama, quarterback CJ Stroud from Ohio State University and running back Bijan Robinson from Texas all made a stop at the chicken joint in Westport.
During their visit, the trio signed memorabilia, connected with fans and even helped serve chicken tenders to customers.

All three players are expected to have their name called in the first round of NFL Draft at Union Station on Thursday.
KSHB 41 asked the trio how they're feeling ahead of the draft.
"It's surreal, I mean it's a dream come true," Young said. "I don't feel like I'll be working, I don't feel like I'll have a job, because I'm going to be do something that I love."
Stroud said he had a great experience serving up chicken tenders at Raising Cane's.
"I respect every body's hustle," Stroud said. "Doing this today kind of gave me another perspective of it, and I thank God that I'll have the opportunity to what I love as my job now."
Robinson said he has mixed emotions heading into the NFL Draft.
"I could cry, I could smile, I could praise God all in one moment," Robinson said. "Just because that moment is really becoming true. You can have many reactions, but for me it's just going to be a huge moment."
The draft begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
