Georgia’s football program, under the leadership of head coach Kirby Smart, continues to produce elite NFL talent. Following two consecutive national championships, Georgia has had an impressive 25 players drafted into the NFL over the past two years. This is the highest number of players drafted from one school over that span, setting a new record.
Smart has a proven track record of developing NFL-ready players, with at least one first-round selection in every draft since becoming head coach at Georgia (except 2017). This consistent pipeline of talent has established Georgia as a powerhouse in college football and a major source of talent for NFL teams.
For the 2024 NFL Draft, Georgia offers a diverse range of players at various positions, each with the potential to make an immediate impact in the NFL. While Georgia has been known for its defensive talent in recent years, its biggest prospect for this year’s draft is a skill position player, tight end Brock Bowers.
Bowers, a dynamic and versatile player, is projected to be selected within the top 15 picks. He possesses a rare combination of size, athleticism, and pass-catching ability, making him a highly sought-after prospect for NFL teams in need of an elite tight end.
Other notable Bulldogs in the 2024 NFL Draft class include offensive tackle Amarius Mims, projected as a late first-round pick, and wide receiver Ladd McConkey, expected to go in the first or second round. Mims boasts impressive size and athleticism, while McConkey brings speed, route-running ability, and experience to the NFL.
Georgia’s depth of talent is further showcased by prospects like cornerback Kamari Lassiter and safety Javon Bullard, both projected to go in the second round. Lassiter is a smart and experienced player, while Bullard’s versatility and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect for NFL teams looking to strengthen their secondary.
