5 LSU Tigers to watch out for in 2022 NFL Draft (#4-#5)
#4 K Cade York
With the sudden stardom of Cincinnati Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson, you can expect more NFL teams to look further into kickers like LSU's Cade York.

York is the Tigers' record-setting kicker with the longest field goal (57 yards), and he didn't miss an extra-point kick in his last two seasons. His freshman season was a bit shaky, but that's expected of a freshman kicker. He still made the SEC All-Freshman squad and was named a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award as a sophomore, the award given to the best placekicker in the NCAA.
As a sophomore, Cade was a First-Team All-SEC and a Second-Team All-American. Through three seasons, he is perfect from 20-29 yards. Surprisingly, he struggles more from 40-49 than from 50+ yards. His deep accuracy will entice NFL teams, though. He might not be an "Evan McPherson" but Cade York could easily be drafted in the sixth round.
#5 RB Tyrion Davis-Price
Luckily for the LSU Tigers, they are losing minimal skill positions to the 2022 NFL Draft. But running back Ty Davis-Price is forgoing his senior year after rushing for over 1,000 yards in 2021.
Davis-Price scored six touchdowns as a freshman despite just 64 carries and 295 yards. In 2020, he rushed 104 times for 446 yards and only three touchdowns. He pushed past 1,000 yards in 2021 with six touchdowns for his best season. His vision is solid and he has a workhorse-like mentality on the field. He's not the fastest but can beat defenders in zone running. Some of Ty's underlying gems are his blocking and receiving capabilities.
NFL teams will look at Ty Davis-Price and not see a dynamic, natural playmaker. They will get a project player who needs to work on his footwork and with staying true to his cuts and eliminating the "happy feet". He will be a late-round selection but could find a niche on an offense with his skillset.
