I personally feel like the 2022 Class of the Sun Belt to NFL pipeline players is the best since App moved to the conference in 2013. Figured it may be worthy to start a thread with rookie news:

Isaiah Likely Standout

To begin, Isaiah Likely was called the "surprise standout" of Ravens off-season camp by ESPN to the surprise of no Sun Belt fans.

App State's Demetrius Taylor with the Pick

Demetrius Taylor has been getting quite a bit of attention. If you google search his name you'll get several hits of articles written during minicamp and OTA's which should say something considering it's almost all no or limited contact.

Share what you've got.

ODU didn't lose many seniors last year, but 3 of them were signed as undrafted rookies.

A LB to Tampa, an OL and an Athlete went to the Chargers. We will have to see if any of them make the cut this year. Jordan Young, Isaac Weaver, and Stone Smartt respectively.

Impressive that Taylor made it to a camp because he's tiny for an NFL DL.

Any news on how any of them performed in camp?

Malik Williams (WR) was cut from the Bills after OTA's, I believe. I'd imagine he may get another shot somewhere else. Corey Sutton, Thomas Hennigan, and Jalen Virgil are all still on their rosters (Lions, Vikings, and Broncos, respectively). App had four wide receivers signed to UDFA contracts which I'd think is almost unheard of for a G5 program.

I don't see any news on any of the ODU guys. ESPN has them all as "Active" with those respective teams.

Wow, 4 WRs, that's quite a class!
