Thayer Munford Wants to Be the Top Offensive Tackle in the 2022 NFL Draft, and Greg Studrawa Believes It's Possible

Thayer Munford isn’t afraid to set high expectations for himself.

During his interview session with Ohio State reporters on Wednesday, Munford said his goal is to be the top offensive tackle in the 2022 NFL draft.

“I do believe I will be the best tackle that’s coming out of next year’s draft,” Munford said. “I just believe that if you keep working at it, you’re gonna get there.”

That would seemingly be a huge jump up the board for Munford, who “was a projected mid-round pick” for the 2021 NFL draft before he opted to return for an extra year of eligibility, according to The Athletic’s Dane Brugler.
