2022 NFL draft: The top 11 cornerbacks

The 2022 NFL draft is less than two weeks away, and as speculation continues about how the first round of the draft might unfold, consensus is  building that one of the deeper positions in this class lies at cornerback.

The rise of Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner towards the top of the group, joining Andrew Booth Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr., who was viewed as a potential first-overall selection just a year ago, means we could see as many as four or even five cornerbacks come off the board in the first round.

But the talent does not end there. As you will see, there are prospects at this position who might not hear their name called until the third round, but will be impact players as rookies in the NFL.

Let’s dive into the top 11 cornerbacks in the 2022 NFL draft.
