2022 NFL draft: Chargers pick DB JT Woods with No. 79 overall selection

The Chargers have taken former Baylor safety JT Woods with the No. 79 overall selection in the 2022 NFL draft.

Woods registered 57 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, two passes defended, five interceptions, and a touchdown through 14 game appearances as a senior in 2021.

He recorded 157 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, two sacks, five passes defended, eight interceptions, and a touchdown through his four collegiate seasons.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-2 and 195-pound Woods had an impressive 40-time of 4.36 seconds and vertical jump of 39.5 inches, some of the best among the defensive backs.

At Baylor, Woods did a little bit of everything, but he was at his best dropping and covering into the deep half of the field.
