Colleges with the most overall No. 1 picks in NFL draft history

Georgia DE Travon Walker became the latest No. 1 overall pick when the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him with the top pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

Walker is the fifth Georgia player to go No. 1 overall, tying the mark for most by a school. Notre Dame, Southern California and Oklahoma also have five.

Last year, Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence went No. 1 to the Jaguars. In 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals took Joe Burrow with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.

Burrow, who won the 2019 Heisman Trophy, became the third LSU player to be drafted No. 1 overall.
