2022 NFL Draft Was Also A Fashion Show

One of football's biggest nights let the players shine with bold fashion looks

Could they be any more fly? Last night was the first round of the NFL draft in Las Vegasโ€”and these fashionable prospective players definitely rose to the occasion. First impressions are important and the night served as the introduction athletes have with their teams. From chains to watches to rings, the only rule was: there was no such thing as too much drip.

Cornerback Ahmad โ€œSauceโ€ Gardnerโ€™s boldly rocked a baby blue suit with an iced-out chain that read โ€œSauce.โ€ Naturally, he layered it with another chain on top that also said โ€œSauceโ€ (that pendant was in the shape of a bottle). Former Georgia Bulldog opted for a tuxedo that flaunted his old teamโ€™s colors and proudly showed off his championship ring.

Top prospects gather on the stage during the first round of the NFL football draft Thursday, April 28, 2022, in Las Vegas.

Jermaine Johnson II stood out from his peers in a neon blazer that was adorned in abstract, black markings. Jameson Williams chose to go with a bold red suit and matching sneakersโ€”though thereโ€™s something about a cropped ankle and sock-less combo that leaves something to be desire.

Utah Utes linebacker Devin Lloyd sported a custom burgundy suit and paired it with a crisp black shirt. USC wideout Drake London also wore a burgundy suit, although his hue was a little deeper than Lloydโ€™s. His custom โ€œDLโ€ chain was as extravagant as youโ€™d expectโ€”and completely covered in diamonds.

Kyler Gordan lets his curls flow with a natural hairstyle; he donned a shiny silver blazer and a thick silver chain. Today marks day 2 of the NFL draftโ€”and we canโ€™t wait to see what the players will wear next.
