The NFL Draft is less than a week away, so many college football players are only a few days away from realising their fondest goals. The Georgia Bulldogs are well-versed in this process, having had a stunning eight players taken in the first round of the past two drafts. A higher number than any other collegiate team in that time period.
However, Georgia’s success in the first round goes much beyond the past several seasons. In fact, the Bulldogs have had a player selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2018, and there have been years when multiple players were selected in the first round.
Georgia is highly certain to extend this streak on Thursday, with talents like Brock Bowers and Amarius Mims nearly universally projected as first-round picks. If both Bowers and Mims are picked in the first round, it will be the Bulldogs’ third consecutive year with multiple first-round picks.
With so many excellent players already on Georgia’s roster and Kirby Smart’s constantly elite recruiting, the Bulldogs’ streak of first-round picks is expected to continue for a long time under Kirby Smart.
