Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft concluded a few minutes ago and saw a wild evening of trades, QBs falling like stones, and runs on WRs in the second round and Baylor Bears overall. Four different Baylor players heard their names called tonight, the first time that has happened in the first three rounds of the Draft since Paul Dickson, Buddy Humphrey, Charley Horton, and Larry Hickman did it in 1959. Interestingly, Dickson, Humphrey, and Hickman were all drafted by the same team that year, the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams, now back in Los Angeles once again, did not select any Baylor player today, but four other teams—all from the AFC—did beginning with the Houston Texans, who took hometown hero Jalen Pitre 37th overall in the second round.
