If you’re obsessed with mock drafts like I am, then chances are you’ve seen more than one that projects the New York Jets to select LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. with the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Dane Brugler of The Athletic released a 2-round mock draft yesterday, and sure enough, he had the Jets taking Stingley.
Stingley’s talent is clear for all to see – you don’t have six interceptions and 15 passes defended as a freshman in the SEC without talent – but Stingley is a boom or bust prospect.
