With the No. 147 pick (fourth round) in the 2022 NFL Draft, the New York Giants selected former Arizona State defensive tackle DJ Davidson. Davidson is the third Sun Devil off the board in this year’s draft class.
Davidson is the first in-state (Desert Ridge HS) Sun Devil to be drafted since N’Keal Harry (Chandler HS) went to the Patriots in 2019.
A three-star recruit, Davidson committed to UCF in 2016, but decided to take the year off and enroll early at ASU for the 2017 season.
He took a redshirt year in 2017, and battled for snaps in 2018 before injuring his leg which sidelined him for the rest of the season.
