Interesting fact: Entered 2022 season with just one-career collegiate start
Position: No. 2 OT | Overall: No. 7
Initial scouting report"In his first season as a starter, replacing draft choice Rasheed Walker, Fashanu has a thick lower body that allows him to absorb contact. He plays with good leverage and balance but can do a better job of sinking his hips against the bull rush. Fashanu shows good independent hand usage and an understanding of sealing run lanes. He has average-to-below-average waist bend to challenge edge rushers at the high side. The Maryland native does a good job of blocking in space. Fashanu has shown steady improvement over the course of the season, particularly in the space of moving his hands and feet when engaged to counter secondary moves." -- CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Josh Edwards (Nov. 10)
