The Green Bay Packers selected Georgia linebacker Quay Walker with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Walker fits Brian Gutekunst’s prototype in the first round. He’s 21 years old and an elite athlete (Relative Athletic Score of 9.66).
At 6-3 and 241 pounds, Walker ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds, covered 10-2 in the broad jump and completed the three-cone drill in 6.89 seconds. He also started 15 games for one of the best defenses in college football history last season.
Walker played in 52 games with 17 starts for Georgia. He tallied 139 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and three pass breakups.
Walker will team with All-Pro De’Vondre Campbell and potentially give the Packers an elite inside linebacker duo.
