The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books, which means it’s time for a 2022 NFL mock draft. North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell is the crown jewel of next year’s class, but there are plenty of top prospects NFL teams will covet. While every draft class is worth getting excited about, next year’s crop of talent is especially exciting. Oregon Ducks edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux is a generational talent, LSU Tigers cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is better than any defender from the 2021 draft class and it will be another year full of intriguing quarterback and receiver prospects.
