The Virginia football program had one player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft: tight end Jelani Woods, who was picked 73rd overall in the 3rd round by the Indianapolis Colts.

Since then, three more former Cavaliers have been signed by NFL organizations as undrafted free agents and three other UVA alums have been invited to rookie minicamps, which will take place on the weekend of May 14th.
