Mississippi State WR announces plans to enter 2022 NFL Draft
Mississippi State finished its 2021 season with a Liberty Bowl loss to Texas Tech.
Now, the Bulldogs are figuring out which players are staying and which are heading to the 2022 NFL Draft as the offseason begins.
On Sunday, WR Makai Polk took to Twitter to reveal he was entering his name in the 2022 NFL Draft:

Polk was a key part of the Bulldogs’ offense in 2021, recording a whopping 105 catches for 1,046 yards and 9 touchdowns — all team highs.
We’ll see where Polk ends up getting drafted, but his numbers in Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense are sure to catch the eyes of several NFL scouts.
He’s a good receiver, but I’m not sure what makes him special or stand out in the NFL. He has a bunch of good traits, but nothing is elite. He reminds me of Fred Ross.
On the one I think he’s leaving money on the table and would only climb with three years of eligibility left. But he also sees a lot of contact and I don’t see that changing, so good luck to him. He was fun to watch. Also, good receivers going to the draft but maybe more next season.
