The Michigan State Spartans had four players drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, as offensive lineman AJ Arcuri barely snuck into the seventh and final round. Arcuri was taken No. 261 overall — out of 262 total picks — by the Los Angeles Rams.
In addition to Arcuri, running back Kenneth Walker III (Seattle Seahawks), wide receiver Jalen Nailor (Minnesota Vikings) and fullback/tight end/H-back Connor Heyward (Pittsburgh Steelers) were the other Spartans who heard their name called during the 2022 NFL Draft.
