5 potential draft busts from the 2022 NFL Draft 

2022 NFL Draft prospects who have bust potential

#3 - QB Malik Willis, Liberty Flames

Liberty Flames quarterback Malik Willis.

While Malik Willis has the highest ceiling of the 2022 Draft's quarterback prospects, he also has one of the lowest floors. The main reason for his bust potential is how weak the competition was that he played against in college while a member of the Liberty Flames.

His lone opportunity to play against a ranked opponent went terribly for him, as he threw for less than 200 yards and recorded three interceptions against Ole Miss.

While he is extremely physically gifted as a quarterback and many of the desirable traits that scouts look for, it's fair to wonder how Willis will stack up against elite NFL competition.

#2 - CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU Tigers

LSU Tigers cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.

Derek Stingley Jr. is projected to be one of the biggest gambles taken in the first-round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

He has the talent to be an elite cornerback, as he showed in his first-team All-American freshman season at LSU, but has been less productive over the last two years.

He hasn't recorded a single interception since the 2019 season. The lack of production can partially be credited to an ongoing foot injury, which is another serious concern for his future.

#1 - QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh Panthers

Pittsburgh Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Kenny Pickett spent five seasons with the Pittsburgh Panthers. While he was incredible during his entire final season, which almost resulted in a Heisman Trophy, he was relatively unimpressive in his first four seasons.

Prior to exploding in year five, he had totaled just 39 touchdowns and an alarming 25 interceptions across his first four years. Time will tell whether he took a giant leap forward or if he was simply just a one-season wonder.
