With the first pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Georgia Bulldogs EDGE rusher Travon Walker. The reaction is pouring in from all over, most notably from the man of the hour himself and some other sports pundits.
#DUUUVALL I’m ready.

Undisputed's Skip Bayless was far less enthused…
When I watched Georgia's all-time great D last season, I thought 3 players would go higher in the draft than Travon Walker (Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, DWyatt). But suddenly he ran 4.5 at the Combine at 272 lbs and … NO. 1 OVERALL??? He was never double-teamed. Low sacks. Huh???

Media from Georgia loved the pick.
So happy for my guy Travon Walker for being selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
