If you were a cornerback selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, and you were still looking for your first career interception, Sunday was probably a pretty good day for you.
Three first-round corners from this year’s draft got their hands on that elusive first career pick in Week 5: Derek Stingley Jr. (No. 3 overall, Houston Texans), Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner (No. 4 overall, New York Jets), and Kaiir Elam (Buffalo Bills, No. 23 overall).
Here they are, in all their glory:
