College Draft[edit]
The 2022 Premier Lacrosse League college draft was held on May 10 and began at 8:00PM eastern time. The draft was the first PLL property to be broadcast on an ESPN network when it aired on ESPN U. There was a simulcast on ESPN+ as well. Chris Cotter, Ryan Boyle and Paul Carcaterra hosted the draft and analyzed the picks.[1] This draft featured the first ever draft day trade between Atlas LC and Cannons LC. The University of Maryland set a record for the most players drafted in one draft with six.[2] By virtue of having the worst record last season, Chrome LC held the number one overall pick.[3]
Format:
- Each team was awarded one pick in each of the four rounds.
- Eligible players must currently be in their senior year
