Jahan Dotson

When Penn State Football fans think of the 2022 NFL Draft, the first name that comes to mind is Jahan Dotson, and for good reason.

The star wideout accumulated 183 catches for 2,757 yards and 25 touchdowns in his career with the Nittany Lions. Jahan is top four or better in all of those categories in school history.

He does a number of things at an elite level, including route running, but there is one thing that Jahan Dotson may do better than any other receiver in the draft.

If many NFL talent evaluators agree that he has the best hands in the draft, then Dotson could be the first Nittany Lion off the board.

Peter Schrager has the New Orleans Saints selecting Dotson with the 19th overall pick, and Daniel Jeremiah has him being selected by the Cowboys at 24.

Some other noteworthy teams selecting towards the end of the first round that could look to draft a receiver are the Packers, Chiefs, and Bills. All three of those teams are led by some of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, making each one a tremendous potential landing spot for the former Nittany Lion.
