Before the NFL Combine, Walker was projected to be selected in the ten to fifteen range in the 1st round. Walker was able to raise his draft stock with an impressive performance at the NFL Combine leading to many analysts, including Mel Kiper Jr., projecting him to be the first overall pick.

Walker was selected first overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 NFL draft. He signed his four-year rookie contract, worth $37.4 million fully guaranteed, on May 12, 2022. In his debut, Walker recorded a sack and interception in a 28–22 loss against the Washington Commanders. In his rookie season, he started in 14 of the 15 games he appeared in. He finished with 3.5 sacks, 49 total tackles, one interception, two passes defended, and one forced fumble.

During a Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills, he recorded the first fumble recovery of his career. In a 26–0 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, Walker recorded two sacks and six tackles, including two tackles for a loss. Walker finished the 2023 season with 52 tackles, ten sacks, two pass deflections, and a fumble recovery.

In a Week 5 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Walker would record a career high three sacks and three tackles for loss along with five tackles and a forced fumble. Despite a bad year for the team, he would go on to have season highs in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, and forced fumbles.

On April 7, 2025, the Jaguars picked up the fifth-year option on Walker's contract. On September 29, Walker underwent left wrist surgery, causing him to miss the team's Week 5 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
