It’s Big 12 preview week. Here are the top 2022 NFL Draft prospects for the conference led by a first-round quarterback.


1. QB Spencer Rattler, Oklahoma

My No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Rattler has amazing arm talent and should have a massive season.

*****

2. LB Nik Bonitto, Oklahoma

Bonitto's pass rushing skills are coveted but he’s also very good in space.

*****

3. RB Breece Hall, Iowa State 

Hall can make an argument for the best running back in the country. His draft position will likely all depend on how he runs.

*****

4. DT Perrion Winfrey, Oklahoma

Winfrey is a gap-shooter at times and run-stuffer at other times.

*****

5. RB Eric Gray, Oklahoma

Gray should have a big season at Oklahoma after showing his potential at Tennessee.

*****

6. DE Ochaun Mathis, TCU

Haven’t heard of him? You will as TCU continues to churn out NFL prospects.

*****

7. DB Tre Sterling, Oklahoma State 

Sterling is of the best defensive backs you’ve never heard of. He is a ballhawk.

*****

8. TE Charlie Kolar, Iowa State

Kolar has the makings of a solid 10-year NFL tight end. He’s not great at anything but is good at everything.

*****

9. OT Obinna Eze, TCU

He has all the physical skills to be special and this step up in competition from Memphis is big.

*****

10. CB Trevius Hodges-Tomlinson, TCU

Hodges is not the biggest but he plays bigger and plays the ball very well.
