With NFL draft week officially upon us, former Georgia players are gearing up to take their talents to the next level. The event will kickoff in Kansas City on April 27 and will be televised on the NFL Network and ESPN.
Georgia football set a modern draft record last spring with 15 selections, including five players taken in the first round and the No. 1 overall pick, Travon Walker.
This year’s draft class is smaller for the Bulldogs, but we can still expect to hear several familiar names called early on Thursday.
ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller recently released his seven-round mock draft, which includes 10 Georgia Bulldogs and two in the top 10.
