Rebecca Rennie Big Board 2022: Small School Top 75 (Page 4)

The NFL Draft talent to be found at small schools from the FCS and beyond is strong every year, and 2022 is no different. This presents my Top 75 small school prospects for the 2022 NFL Draft. The project was challenging to put together this year, with time constraints and some life issues outside of football almost derailing any chance of completing this season’s big board. Thankfully, it was possible to pull this together in time for the event. It’s almost certain that there are plenty of names not included here that absolutely should be. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get to everyone’s film, so apologies if any personal favorites are missing!

Though expecting this to be more brief this year, ultimately we have around 23,000 words of content in this article over four pages. The Top 30 graded prospects have been written up in detail, 10 per page, with one bonus write up on an additional prospect, given he is a well known prospect and QB, but was not graded as highly here. The fourth page contains the full Top 75 big board as a list.

For the Top 30, a number grade has been included out of 100 that I have been using for a number of years. It is not formed as a sum of various parts for various traits, more so relating to a projected role for the NFL as starters, backups, developmental prospects and so on. They can be roughly correlated to a general round of the draft which is also given for some context.

There is a lot of content within this project and would be surprised if many intend to read this start to finish. However, whether used pre-draft or after your team has picked up one or more of these players during or after the draft, I hope this provides some useful information or reference.
