The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. Bowl scheduling allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2022 Playstation Fiesta Bowl.
Isaiah Foskey, Edge
Foskey has continually improved over his college career and made himself into an impact player at Notre Dame. He has 72 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks in his career. This season, Foskey has taken his game to another level with 47 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks.
At 6-foot-4 and 257 pounds, Foskey has solid size for an edge rusher at the next level. He has already improved his draft stock a lot by getting to the quarterback often, but he still has the option to return to school. Foskey is a junior and if he enters the draft is a projected day two or early day three pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Second Round Pick-Fourth Round Pick
