Everyone joked about Commanders' 7th round pick Chris Paul ... no not that one

The Washington Commanders selected a familiar face in the late stages of the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday … well, a familiar name at least.

Washington used the No. 230 pick in the seventh and final round to draft guard Chris Paul. That predictably led to everyone making the same joke about Phoenix Suns All-Star Chris Paul being the player the Commanders actually chose.

Another Chris Paul never winning a ring

Unfortunately, the Commanders’ Paul is a guard of the offensive line, not point, variety. He also went to Tulsa, not Wake Forest, and is nearly twice the size of the NBA’s Paul at 331 pounds.

There have been some NBA stars who tried their hand at football before. But surely much to the disappointment of many, the Commanders’ draft pick Paul is a completely different dude.
