Length and being a ball hawker is something hard to ignore. The Los Angeles Chargers used their 3rd round pick (79th overall) on Baylor safety JT Woods.

Woods is coming off an incredible 2021 season where he collected seven turnovers and turned two of them into touchdowns. He had six interceptions - two in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss - to lead the Big 12 and had a fumble recovery.

His first INT was a pick6 in the opener against Texas State. His fumble return went for 97 yards and a score against Texas Southern. Woods was an honorable mention Big 12 selection.

Rookie wage deals have been set since 2011. According to Spotrac, Woods is projected to received a contract of about $5.2 million with a signing bonus of in excess of $1 million from the Chargers.
