5 NFL players who desperately need to bounce back in 2022
Many of the NFL’s superstars had fantastic 2021 seasons. Elite players such as Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Donald continued to make their presence felt throughout the season. However, many big-name players had disappointing campaigns. They will be desperate to improve, not just for the sake of their teams, but for their own job security.
Here are five NFL players who need to bounce back in 2022.
#5 - Trevor Lawrence
Despite being a rookie last year, much more was expected of Trevor Lawrence than was delivered. He was the consensus number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence only passed for 12 touchdowns against 17 interceptions, the latter of which was the most in the NFL.
Lawrence was not helped by the situation in Jacksonville. The Urban Meyer fiasco overshadowed his issues on the pitch, but with a new head coach, all eyes will be on the quarterback.

#4 - Alvin Kamara
Alvin Kamara was voted to his fifth Pro Bowl in 2021, but it could be argued that it wasn’t justified. He and the New Orleans Saints offense struggled throughout the season. In their first season without Drew Brees at starting quarterback since 2006, the Saints and Kamara struggled.
Kamara suffered throughout the year with injuries, starting only 10 games. He averaged only 3.7 yards per carry and rushed for four touchdowns all year. This is a stark contrast to his total of 16 in 2020.
Kamara will be desperate to put his many skills on show and spearhead a more potent Saints offense this season.
