The No. 1 overall choice in the 2022 NFL Draft was Georgia defensive end Travon Walker, selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Georgia defensive end was once a longshot to be picked at No. 1, but a late push from general manager Trent Baalke sealed his fate. Walker is the first non-quarterback to be selected atop the draft since Myles Garrett went to the Cleveland Browns in 2017.
In 29 career games at Georgia, Walker totaled 61 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. The Bulldogs won the 2021 national championship with help from Walker and a dominant defense. After drafting QB Trevor Lawrence at No. 1 overall last year, the Jaguars pivoted to defense with this selection. The team splurged in free agency, signing WR Christian Kirk, WR Zay Jones, TE Evan Engram, OG Brandon Scherff, LB Foye Oluokun, DT Foley Fatukasi and CB Darious Williams, among others.
