Thursday, the NFL released the schedule for the 2020 football season, providing more optimism that football will be played in the fall.
What that will look like remains to be known, but for now, let’s take a second to look ahead to the games on the schedule which feature newly drafted, former Bulldogs.
Georgia had seven players drafted into the NFL this year. Opening week’s Monday Night Football features a double-header (Giants vs Steelers and Titans vs Broncos). That means we will be able to watch both of Georgia’s first round offensive tackles (Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson) on that first Monday night.
Here is a list of each of the draftee’s first NFL game.
