How did 10 potential Eagles draft picks do in major bowl games?

How did 10 potential #Philadelphia #Eagles draft picks do in major bowl games? #CFBPlayoff

The Eagles have three first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft and that allows for a ton of maneuverability, or Howie Roseman could just nab the three best players on the board.

Whether it be the national championship game or other bowl games, several prospects that could potentially land in Philadelphia made their case over the past two weeks.

Here’s how several top prospects did in bowl games.

2022 Chiefs NFL draft prospects: Group 18

Our latest group of 2022 NFL draft prospects to watch for the #Chiefs covers the #CFBPlayoff #NationalChampionship.

The College Football Playoff National Championship is finally here, with Alabama and Georgia meeting each other for the third time this season. This marks the last opportunity to watch some of the best 2022 NFL draft prospects play. You can watch the game on Monday, Jan. 10 at 7:00 p.m. CT on ESPN. It’ll be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana — also home to the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.

Our eighteenth group of prospects includes players on both sides of the ball from each of Alabama and Georgia. We’ll take a look at a versatile safety, a run-and-hit linebacker, a size-and-speed wideout and an elusive running back.

Perfect early/late-round LB fits for Eagles in 2022 NFL Draft

Looking at the perfect early/late-round LINEBACKER fits for the Philadelphia #Eagles in 2022 #NFLDraft

As the Eagles get set to start preparing for their Week 15 matchup against Washington, all eyes are starting to turn towards the NFL draft, where Philadelphia will likely control the board with 3 first-round picks.

The Eagles haven’t drafted a linebacker in the first round since the late 70s, but 2022 could provide the ultimate opportunity for Howie Roseman to finally land a game-changer in the first or second round.

Regardless of what round Philadelphia strikes, there will be plenty of big-time linebackers on the board for the Eagles to target.

Georgia’s Channing Tindall named Walter Camp Defensive Player of the Week

Georgia Bulldogs LB Channing Tindall earned a national award after the UGA football players’ performance against the Tennessee Volunteers.

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall has been named the Walter Camp Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) National Defensive Player of the Week.

This is the 10th time a Georgia player has earned Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors. Todd Gurley in 2014 was the most recent.

Tindall had a great performance in Georgia’s 41-17 win over Tennessee, recording eight tackles, three sacks and forcing a fumble.

Tindall was a five-star recruit in the class of 2018 out of Columbia, South Carolina. He currently leads the team in tackles with 53 and is third in sacks with four.

Where Georgia players rank on Mel Kiper’s draft position rankings

Where do Georgia players rank in Mel Kiper’s position rankings for the NFL draft?

Georgia set a school record during the 2021 NFL draft when it had nine Bulldogs selected, breaking its previous record of eight players (2002, 2013).

This year, Georgia will look to break that record again and send double-digit players into the NFL.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper has ranked each position group’s top-ten players for next year’s draft, and included ten Georgia Bulldogs.

Here is where they all rank in Kiper’s position rankings:

Georgia Bulldogs name South Carolina game captains

Georgia’s captains for the South Carolina game are defensive tackle Jordan Davis, linebacker Channing Tindall, and wide receiver Kearis Jackson.

The Georgia Bulldogs open SEC conference play against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Bulldogs are looking to return to the SEC Championship in Atlanta.

Georgia’s captains for the South Carolina game are defensive tackle Jordan Davis, linebacker Channing Tindall, and wide receiver Kearis Jackson.

All three of Georgia’s captains were with the team in 2019, when the Dawgs lost to South Carolina in a double-overtime defeat. In 2019, the Gamecocks upset a heavily-favored Georgia team in Athens. It is a memory that still haunts numerous players on Georgia’s roster.

The Bulldogs got revenge last season with a 45-16 win. Now, Kirby Smart and former Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp are looking to begin a new home winning streak against South Carolina.

The Georgia-South Carolina game starts at 7 p.m. The kickoff weather is expected to be mild and cloudy with a small chance of rain (15%).

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs enter the South Carolina game with a  2-0 record. The Dawgs have wins over Clemson (10-3) and UAB (56-7). South Carolina is also 2-0. The Gamecocks opened the season with wins against Eastern Illinois at home (46-0) and at East Carolina (20-17).

The rivalry game will be the SEC opener for both schools.

UGA football names captains versus South Carolina

The Georgia Bulldogs have named their South Carolina game captains including running back Zamir White.

The Georgia Bulldogs have named their Week 10 captains ahead of the game against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Dawgs named running back Zamir White, linebacker Channing Tindall, and linebacker Azeez Ojulari as captains for the night game.

This game is a big one for Channing Tindall, who played football at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina before coming to the University of Georgia. Tindall and the Bulldogs will travel to Columbia to face South Carolina, who is 2-6 overall on the season.

The Gamecocks fired head coach Will Muschamp a few weeks ago and will have former Georgia Bulldog offensive coordinator Mike Bobo as their interim coach this week. The No. 9 ranked Georgia Bulldogs will look to add another blemish to Bobo’s squad.

South Carolina is absent several key defenders ahead of the game. A few South Carolina players opted out of the remaining games this year following Muschamp’s dismissal: linebacker/safety R.J. Roderick, defensive tackle Makius Scott, cornerback Jaycee Horn, and cornerback Israel Mukuamu all opted out for the Gamecocks.

In fact, Israel Mukuamu played the best game of his career against Georgia last season. Mukuamu intercepted Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm three times and returned one of them for a touchdown. Additionally, Jaycee Horn is projected to be a high 2021 NFL Draft pick.

UGA football player card: LB Channing Tindall

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit from Columbia, SC.

Channing Tindall, Linebacker (No. 41):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-2

Weight: 218 pounds

Hometown: Columbia, South Carolina

High School: Spring Valley High School

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit. Tindall played in eleven games last season as an inside linebacker and special teams player. Tindall recorded 1.5 sacks and 9 tackles during his sophomore season.

He saw more playing time as a freshman, where he played in all 14 games and ended up with 17 tackles and two sacks. Tindall’s decrease in playing time can be attributed to the depth Dan Lanning and Georgia have built on their elite defense.

Tindall was a cog in the top run-stopping defense in the country in 2019. He’ll battle for playing time with Monty Rice, Nakobe Dean, Rian Davis, Trezmen Marshall, Quay Walker and more at the inside linebacker position.

Projected 2020 Georgia football depth chart: Linebackers

We project what Georgia’s line-backing core will look like in 2020 after a record breaking year for the Bulldogs defense in 2019.

The 2019 Georgia defense might have been the best in program history. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked No. 1 in scoring defense, No. 3 in total defense and only allowed two rushing touchdowns all year.

The Georgia defense in 2020 will look a little different, mainly because of the departures of safety J.R. Reed and linebacker Tae Crowder to the NFL. However, Georgia returns a majority of starters from the record-setting unit in 2019, led by coach Kirby Smart and one of the most experienced linebackers in the SEC, Monty Rice.

Here is our projection of what the linebacker depth chart will look like in the Fall:
