2022 NFL draft Houston Texas select Derek Stingley Jr., a cornerback out of LSU. It is a very surprising move as Stingley was not talked about as a top pick and for a team with so many needs, this is a big surprise.

It is especially surprising when a player like Sauce Gardner was still on the board if that was the position that they wanted. 

That being said when Stingley is healthy he is a big athletic and very talented player it just seems early to get him at number three.
