Georgia Bulldog rookies made a major impact in the NFL in 2022. Georgia had a record-breaking 2022 NFL draft.
15 players from the University of Georgia were selected in the 2022 NFL draft. 13 of these players had significant roles for their respective teams on game days.
The NFL is filled with lots of ups and downs. Former Georgia legends Nakobe Dean and Jordan Davis will have a chance to win a Super Bowl as rookies with the Philadelphia Eagles.
