NBC analyst and former NFL quarterback Chris Simms publishes his quarterback rankings every year before every draft, and he weighs in his top five quarterbacks in the 2022 NFL Draft. Watch the first round live on Sky Sports NFL starting Friday at 1:00.
The quarterback is king in the NFL, and as such, there is no position more highly valued and coveted than the NFL Draft quarterback. But who are the top talents in the class of 2022?
Read on to see Simms’ quarterback rankings in the 2022 NFL Draft with one or two surprise results…
Simms: Crazy athlete. He’s the fastest quarterback in the draft, there’s no one with faster feet or who can make people miss. He has great acceleration.
He has the fastest quarterback exit in this draft, maybe the fastest college football exit in years. The arm strength is phenomenal, the ball literally flies out of his hands and he doesn’t need any space to throw the ball. It’s almost like an optical illusion. It’s made for the modern NFL.
He is also the most accurate thrower of this group. I don’t know what his official numbers are, but I do know that when he sees a goal, he can cash in the tightest windows better than anyone.
Corral is really gifted in passing games, he can throw it with his side arm, he can get both feet off the ground and still throw the ball with a lot of power. Corral has many elite traits.
However, it’s one thing, he has to put it all together – not everything is ready yet.
I wish we could see him read more as he only looks at one guy most of the time and then runs away.
I do not see rash decisions, although it is not ideal from this point of view. But he definitely knows how to take care of football. He has great movement in his pocket, although I wish he was a little more patient there.
