2022 NFL Draft: Michigan State wide receiver Jalen Nailor selected by Minnesota Vikings in sixth round

Michigan State wide receiver Jalen “Speedy” Nailor is NFL bound. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round (No. 191 overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Nailor is now the second Spartan selected during the 2022 NFL Draft, joining running back Kenneth Walker III (No. 41 overall to the Seattle Seahawks).

After signing with Michigan State’s 2018 recruiting class, Nailor found playing time right away as a true freshman, playing in eight games, but missing five contests due to injury. Nailor would then redshirt after playing in only four games as a sophomore in 2019 due to another injury suffered in the beginning of the year.
