Very little has been certain heading into this year’s NFL draft. But that didn’t quench the excitement in Las Vegas Thursday night.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Travon Walker as the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft Thursday night. The Jaguars need double digits sacks out of this process. And they believe Walker can deliver.
Fans of the Jags or the Bulldogs don’t have to wait to shop for Walker’s new jersey.
The online apparel company Fanatics is already offering the rookie defensive lineman’s jersey in teal, black or white, along with sweatshirts, T-shirts and other merchandise to represent the top pick in the draft.

Walker was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team in his first year in Athens with 15 tackles, 3.5 for loss with 2.5 sacks in 12 contests, and played in nine games as a reserve the following season (13 tackles, two for loss with one sack). He started all 15 games for the national champions in 2021, recording 37 stops, 7.5 for loss with six starts, and two pass breakups.
Walker celebrated being the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft surrounded by his family at their home in Atlanta Georgia. He was the first Bulldog to be chosen as the first overall NFL draft pick since Matthew Stafford.
