No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker was reportedly involved in car crash in mid April

With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected EDGE Travon Walker out of Georgia with the hope that he can wreak havoc for opposing quarterbacks over the next decade or so.

But according to a report from TMZ Sports, Walker was wreaking havoc on parked cars on April 16.

From TMZ Sports:

Cops say Jacksonville Jaguars’ top pick, Travon Walker, “lost control” of his ride before he hit two parked cars in a pre-NFL Draft crash … but they also noted he was wearing a seatbelt and suffered no apparent injuries.

TMZ Sports has obtained the crash report from the April 16 incident in Athens, Ga. … and it shows that despite apparently running his 2021 Dodge Durango into two vehicles, he escaped without issue.“Just a little fender bender,” Walker said. “Nothing crazy. No one was hurt.”

What Does Jahan Dotson Bring to the Commanders?

The Washington Commanders tried to upgrade their receiver room last offseason by signing Curtis Samuel, and they took another stab at it this year by selecting Jahan Dotson with the 16th pick in the first round of the draft.

At just 5-foot-11, 181 pounds, Dotson is a smaller wideout who has just a 50th-percentile breakout age (20.5), according to PlayerProfiler. On the positive, he rates in the 95th percentile in final-season target share (32.5%) and in the 90th percentile in college dominator rating (44.3%).
