Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder might just be the highest rising prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft in recent weeks. Since it’s no secret the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for another signal caller, he’s been a popular pick at No. 20 as of late. And NFL Media Analyst Charles Davis believes that will be the selection in his latest mock draft released on Monday morning.
He writes:
“Surprise! The Steelers have done their homework on this year’s class, and opt for the high ceiling on this rising signal-caller. Yes, Kenny Pickett makes a ton of sense, but Ridder’s overall athleticism really meshes with what OC Matt Canada wants to do on offense.
