5 NFL stars who’ve had a surprisingly good 2022 season feat. Tyreek Hill
We’re already halfway through the 2022 NFL season. So far, we’ve seen plenty of the league’s star players underperform.
While that may be the case, there have also been as many under-the-radar players who’ve surprised many fans. Many superstars have moved teams and adapted seamlessly to their new franchise.
While we expect the very best from Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, there have been plenty of superstars across the NFL who’ve surprised us in 2022.
NFL stars with surprisingly good 2022 seasons
#5 - Josh Jacobs
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has been one of the surprise packages of the 2022 NFL season.
Before the year kicked off, the Raiders announced they wouldn’t be picking up Jacobs’ fifth-year option, signaling a lack of faith in him.
He has, however, made that decision look stupid so far this year as he’s clocked up the fourth-most rushing yards in nine weeks with 743.
This total is a little over 100 more than he rushed for in 15 games in 2021, meaning he’s had a surprisingly good season thus far.
#4 - Tua Tagovailoa
Coming into the 2022 season, many Dolphins fans believed it was Tua Tagovailoa's final chance to prove himself as a starting-caliber QB.
He’s definitely silenced critics this year, as he’s passed for 15 touchdowns against just three interceptions, going for 1,980 yards in seven games.
Tagovailoa is 6-1 in his starts this year, and his quarterback rating of 115.9 currently leads the NFL, according to teamrankings.com.
This comes after a poor 2021 campaign, where Tagovailoa only threw 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 12 starts.
