Which NFL prospects are seeing their values getting boosts early in the college football season? How about Antonio Hamilton Jersey those star performers who didn't have a good start trying to showcasetheir wares to pro scouts?With Week 1's results in the books for FBS, here arethe three most notable risers and fallers several months ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft:MORE 2022 NFL DRAFT: | Matt Corral, QB, Ole Mi sThe 2022 cla s of quarterbacks is making its case to match the strength of '21, to the point Corral was ranked No. 7 at the position with initial second-round intrigue in . Corral just mi sed cracking , behind Cincinnati's Desmond Ridder.That may change soon after Corral ripped through Louisville's defense on Monday night. Matching the theme of '22 QBs, Corral has great athleticism and a big arm. He is helping himselfby being fearle s using both.Corral carried the Rebels and built some Heisman Trophy buzz in the proce s, too, with his spectacular pa sing (22-of-32, 381 yards, TD) and calculated running (12 rushes, 55 yards, TD). Corral had the spotlight to himself and challenged Ridderand others to come through in good tests ahead.Ole Mi s hasn't had a first-round QB since Eli Manning went No. 1 overall in 2004. Circle the Oct. 2 game at Alabama as Corral's Johnny Manziel-like opportunity vs. Nick Saban's defense.Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, WRs, Ohio State.Olave and Wilson were Sporting News' Nos. 1 and 3 wide receivers for the '22 draft going into the Deandre Hopkins T Shirts season. Olave is the more the burner, while Wilson has been touted as the reliable technician. Neither was disappointing in those respective roles in the opener against Minnesota, lifting QB C.J. Stroud after a slow start.Olave came through with the typical home runs (4 catches for 117 yards, 2 TDs) and Wilson (5 catches, 80 yards) also had his own big play,a 56-yarder as a near match to Olava's 61-yard game high. The pair will continue to create coverage nightmares for the Big Ten. They are both strong first-rounders the only question is who will be drafted higher and if either will go ahead of Alabama's latest stud, John Metchie III. Oregon cornerback Mykael Wright will be good coverage test for either in Week 2.Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre DameHere's another stud who flew out of the gate, living up to the hype of being an all-time greatsafety prospectand potential top-five overall pick.At 6-4, 220 pounds, Hamilton stands out wherever he goes on the field. He saved the game in what turned to ba a surprise overtime shootout against Florida State on Sunday night.Hamiton showed off his range and nose for clutch playmaking with two dazzling interceptions, flipping two Arizona Cardinals Jersey po se sions that could have come back to haunt the Fighting Irish later. He also smashed the Seminoles with six tackles. If he keeps this up, someone would soon need to write a musical sequel based only on his highlight reel this season. This Hamilton is not throwing away his shot. Sam Howell, QB, North CarolinaHowell had a rough game against Virginia Tech's defense last Thursday night. There's no window-dre sing that. There also should be le s excuse-making for Howell in terms of what all the Tar Heels lost in offensive skill around him, from protection to weapons.Perhaps the pro and Heisman pre sure got to him early, but the numbers (17-of-32, 208 yards, TD, 3 INTs) and eye test didn't lie as he has much on which to work in hisfinal season at Chapel Hill. He was sacked six times on top of double as many interceptions. He was indecisive and let the Hokies' heat get to him and the decision-making was poor overall.Howell was SN's No. 3 QB prospect going into the season, but he's starting to have that Sam Budda Baker Jersey Darnold-Mitchell Trubisky feel. It was poor-timed with both Corral and Nevada's Carson Strong looking so good to boost their stocks behind him.Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, OregonThe Ducks' defeat of Fresno State came at a cost as Thibodeaux, the early best pa s-rushing prospect in the 2022 cla s, rolled his lower leg and came away with a ankle sprain. He's considered day-to-day for Week 2 and could play vs. Ohio State, per coach Mario Cristobal. But that type of injury tends to be nagging and can limit a player of Thibodeaux's explosivene s.Either Thibodeauxwon't be near 100 percent for a big opportunity against Stound and the Buckeyes' pa sing game or he will mi s a high pro level matchup. That opens the door for USC's Drake Jackson, another Pac-12 edge standout, to buildon his strong opener vs. San Jose State and jump Thibodeaux early.Justyn Ro s, WR, ClemsonRo s had to mi s the 2020 season after needing surgery to fix a congenital fusion in his spine. That's a scary condition from which to return, so it's admirable the big, strong star wideout (6-4, 205 pounds) is back in action for the Tigers. Unfortunately, he was dragged down by a rare horrible game by Clemson's offense Max Garcia Jersey under Dabo Swinney. His new QB, D.J. Uiagalelei, was terrible against Georgia's defense, which limited Ro s, once Trevor Lawrence's young go-to guy, to only 4 catches and 26 yards.Ro s is the No. 7 wide receiver prospect on SN's big board. There are a few guys he needs to leap to get borderline first-round consideration again. He will need do a lot more and will require some help from at least above-average QB play to keep his stock from dipping into the third round.
