Reese’s Senior Bowl Announces Final 2022 NFL Draft Numbers

 

MOBILE, Alabama – For the second consecutive year, the Reese’s Senior Bowl had 106 players selected (out of 262 total drafted) in the 2022 NFL Draft, which this year represents 82% of all players who participated in Mobile and 40% of the entire class. The Senior Bowl also had six players drafted in the first round on Thursday night in Las Vegas, as well as 45 players taken in the first three rounds, the games highest figure in over a decade since underclassmen began entering the draft in increasingly larger numbers.  Numerous drafted players, including three first-rounders, who originally accepted Senior Bowl invites but were not able to attend the event were not included in these figures. 

 

All 32 National Football League clubs selected at least one Senior Bowler and 12 teams selected four or more players who participated in Mobile: Arizona Cardinals (6), Baltimore Ravens (6), Dallas Cowboys (6), Seattle Seahawks (6), Atlanta Falcons (5), Green Bay Packers (5), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5), Washington Commanders (5), Chicago Bears (4), Los Angeles Chargers (4), New England Patriots (4), and San Francisco 49ers (4).

 

STATEMENT FROM REESE’S SENIOR BOWL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JIM NAGY:

“We are extremely excited for this year’s incredible group of players. This is what it’s all about, the players realizing their dreams of becoming professional football players. We’ve stayed connected with the entire roster throughout the pre-draft process and it’s always fun to see where they end up going. Everyone at the Senior Bowl is grateful that their NFL journeys started here in Mobile.”
