NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu said Thursday he's met with the Jacksonville Jaguars and wouldn't be surprised if he's selected with the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Ekwonu's stock is soaring and he's started to gain momentum as the potential top choice when the first round takes place April 28. The recent buzz includes being projected as the Jags' pick in the latest mock draft from ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr.
"I wouldn't be shocked if I went No. 1 overall," Ekwonu told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine.
