South Carolina has its first draftee of 2022.
Former USC defensive end Kingsley “JJ” Enagbare was selected with the 179th pick by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Enagbare entered the season as a projected first round draft pick, but watched his stock slowly decrease given the slew of talented pass rushers in this year’s class coupled with a less dominant than expected campaign.
“Engabare isn’t a quick-twitch speed rusher, he is more of a long, heavy-handed power rusher,” The Athletic’s Dane Brugler told The State.
