NFL.com analyst includes 3 B1G players among Top 5 edge rushers in 2022 NFL Draft class
Published:
The B1G might have the best group of edge rushers in this year’s NFL Draft class. A recent Top 5 list from NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks shows how deep the conference was at the position this year.
As defensive players prepare to hit the field at Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2022 NFL Combine, Brooks released his list of the Top 5 edge rushers in this year’s draft class. Three of them were from the B1G.
Brooks ranks Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo, as well as Purdue’s George Karlaftis, in his Top 5. All three are expected to be first-round picks when the NFL Draft gets underway.
Time for the big guys on defense to show out at the Combine.

It should be interesting to see how all three of these players test at the NFL Combine over the weekend. There will be a lot of eyeballs on each guy, as they could each make a significant impact in the league in a hurry.
Did Brooks leave anyone off of his list?
