The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine has reached the fourth and final day as the defensive backs and special teams players take the field. After today, prospects will return to training centers in preparation for Pro Days. Visits with teams will soon begin as well.
The cornerback group is relatively loaded with talent even with LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr. opting not to participate. Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, Washington cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Kyler Gordon, Florida cornerback Kaiir Elam and Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. are some of the elite talents expected to be on display. One sleeper to watch is Texas-San Antonio cornerback Tariq Woolen. He is a long prospect that is supposed to test very well.
In most years, the special teams do not get much love but this year is a bit different. San Diego State kicker/punter Matt Araiza was a weapon for the Aztecs last season. He will partake in drills. A year ago, Florida kicker Evan McPherson was preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft and would go on to be one of the postseason stars.
Follow along in our live blog below for more analysis and background on the prospects participating Sunday! You can also catch up on the first three days of the combine below as well.
