Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal confirmed to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport he's declaring for the 2022 NFL draft.
Neal is the No. 4 overall player on the big board for Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. He was projected to go first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars in B/R's mock draft:
"The Jacksonville Jaguars once again sit atop year's draft. Fortunately, they chose Trevor Lawrence last year so they don't have to address the quarterback position in what appears to be a down year for the class.
"Instead, the organization's approach now veers toward building around Lawrence to maximize his capabilities after a season of impeding his growth.
