A Georgia Bulldog has been the first linebacker selected in three of the last 10 NFL drafts. Georgia has consistently produced NFL draft picks at the linebacker position since Kirby Smart took over as head coach. The Bulldogs continue to recruit linebackers at a high level.
NFL teams place a premium of fast, physical linebackers that can be productive against the run and the pass. No other school has had the first linebacker drafted in the last 10 years more than once.
