#6 Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons
Drake London left USC as one of the best available receiving prospects in 2022, but he is also now being regarded as one of the top 10 NFL players from USC.

The Atlanta Falcons selected him with the No. 8 overall pick and he has settled in well.

After five games in his rookie season, London scored two touchdowns and caught for 306 yards. The Falcons’ poor offense has limited the receiver’s ability to dominate as he did with USC, but the signs for the future are positive.
London is already the No.1 receiving option in Atlanta and will only develop through playing more NFL football. His frame is that of a tight end, but his athleticism doesn’t suffer as a result.
Once Atlanta have a better team around him, London will be a star.
#7 Robert Woods, WR, Tennessee Titans
Robert Woods has been a regular presence in the NFL since 2013. Drafted in the second round by the Buffalo Bills, Woods has racked up 7,281 receiving yards in the 10 seasons he has spent in the league.
As a second-round selection, Robert Woods has exceeded expectations as a functional NFL receiver. He has never managed more than six touchdowns in an individual season, but his receiving yards have been impressively consistent.
In 10 NFL seasons, Woods has never registered less than 550 yards. In 2022, he has started 4 of 5 games and already has 204 yards in his first season as a Titan, putting him well into the collection of top 10 NFL players from USC.
He is a brilliant foil for Derrick Henry in a run-heavy offense, and is on course for one of his best seasons in the league.
Unfortunately, his USC career was marred by a controversial concussion he suffered in a game against Utah in 2012, in which Woods collapsed face-first to the floor but was still allowed to play on.
#8 Alijah Vera-Tucker, G, New York Jets
The New York Jets got an absolute bargain with USC’s Alijah Vera-Tucker. Despite being selected with the 14th pick of the 2021 draft, Vera-Tucker has already exceeded early expectations.
He was in the running to win the Rookie of the Year award in 2021, and his improvements in pass protection now see him considered a genuinely elite two-way guard.
Robert Saleh has praised him for his start in 2022, with the guard allowing just one sack in the opening two games. Whilst already in the Top 10 NFL players from USC, Vera-Tucker will rise up this list in the future.
In his rookie year, he allowed just two sacks all season, which was the lowest for all rookie linemen.
