The 6-5, 275-pounder moved to the top of the 2022 Draft after a sensational 2021 campaign with the Bulldogs that saw him record 33 tackles and 6 sacks for what was a historically dominant Georgia defense.
Walker had just 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks in his first 2 seasons in Athens.
The Jaguars will look to pick up their first win of 2022 when they play host to the Indianapolis colts next Sunday.
