Coastal Carolina is a mid-major program on the rise. Here are three sleeper prospects to keep an eye on in the 2022 NFL Draft. 

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have sent players to the NFL before, including 2021 Draft pick Tarron Jackson, but this year can be the most significant draft class in Coastal Carolina’s history. Three legitimate prospects are likely to compete for spots in the 2022 NFL Draft, and all three should hear their names before the end of the Draft.

As the 2022 NFL Draft approaches, many storylines will emerge that cause players’ draft stock to rise and fall, but the top three Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the 2022 NFL Draft all feel as though they are in a position to move up in the Draft. Each of the three provides benefits to any team that is willing to draft them.

The rise of Coastal Carolina as a significant program in the college football landscape is due in part to the contributions of these three players, which may or may not impact their draft stock. Still, it does say something about the mentality of the players. All three of them could transfer to more high-profile schools but choose to continue playing a part in Coastal Carolina’s success.

Well, one technically did transfer, but that story is interesting enough to be part of his section. All three players were part of the last two years, which were critical to the current state of the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. The future is bright in Conway, South Carolina, because of the contributions of these young men.

A player who will be among the top selections among his position, a player who is among the biggest NFL Scouting Combine snubs, and a player who is the top defender in Coastal Carolina’s history twice all make up an exciting group of prospects going into the 2022 NFL Draft. While none of these players are likely to hear their names on the first day of the NFL Draft, all three should contribute to the teams that draft them.

All three players are worth keeping an eye on during the 2022 NFL Draft because they are intriguing prospects with the potential to impact the team that drafts them.
