Jacksonville has the first overall pick for the second year in a row, The Jags selected starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2021. Lawrence, unfortunately, had his rookie year overshadowed by drama both on and off the field caused by now-dismissed first-year coach Urban Meyer. With a new coach leading the way for the Jags in 2022, there is hope whomever gets picked first overall this season will have a much smoother rookie campaign.
Hutchinson is the favorite to be selected by Jacksonville, with some believing his relentless work ethic will be a welcome addition to the Jaguars' evolving locker room culture. The Michigan standout lit up social media on Monday as he posted from his trip to Florida.
