Over a dozen Georgia Bulldogs suited up to play in the NFL divisional round
Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL made a significant impact in the divisional round. Eight former Bulldogs will play in the NFC and AFC championship games. The Detroit Lions are the only remaining NFL team without a former Georgia Bulldog on their roster.
Our former Georgia football player of the week in the divisional round is San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Chris Conley. Conley is a true professional. He barely played for San Francisco throughout the regular season, but he was ready when his name was called. Conley came up with a clutch 17-yard catch to help the 49ers earn a comeback win over the Green Bay Packers.

Four Georgia Bulldogs make the Pro Bowl, while three Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL were snubbed from the Pro Bowl.
Four Georgia Bulldogs have made the NFL Pro Bowl roster. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Pro Bowl is not what it used to be, but it is still a significant honor for some of the top players in the NFL.
The initial Pro Bowl roster always changes as a result of player injuries, teams advancing deep into the postseason and players opting out of the game. That means Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL who were snubbed from the original Pro Bowl roster still have a shot of making it.

Former Georgia Bulldogs outside linebacker Leonard Floyd has 29 sacks in three seasons with the Rams
The Los Angeles Rams are expected to release former Georgia Bulldogs outside linebacker Leonard Floyd this offseason. The Rams are also looking to trade Floyd.
The Rams could release Floyd as a post-June 1 designation and save $15.5 million in cap space this offseason. Los Angeles would still have $6.5 million in dead cap for the 2023 season due to Floyd’s contract.
Floyd has 29 sacks and an interception over the past three seasons with the Rams. Floyd recorded 59 tackles and 9 sacks in 2022 for Los Angeles, but the Rams struggled and went 5-12.
Floyd is still productive, so he could be worth trading for, but he is scheduled to have a $22 million or more cap hits in each of the next two seasons. Floyd’s ideal destination is probably as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense.
Los Angeles signed Floyd to a four-year, $64 million contract after the 2020 NFL season. Floyd and Los Angeles won a Super Bowl in 2021.

The Chicago Bears drafted Leonard Floyd with the No. 9 selection of the 2016 NFL draft. Chicago parted with Floyd in 2020 following after four years together.
Floyd has 47.5 career sacks and 338 career tackles in the NFL.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Field Yates reported the details surrounding Floyd’s expected trade or release:
If the Rams just release Leonard Floyd, it would create $3M in 2023 cap space, while leaving $19M in dead money.
With a post-June 1 designation, they would create $15.5M in 2023 cap space and spread the dead money out over two years (just $6.5M in 2023). https://t.co/MZOdh2QLA4
What Georgia Bulldog rookies made the biggest impact in the NFL during the 2022 season?
The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the 2022 NFL draft with a record-breaking 15 selections. Most of the 15 Georgia players draft had a large role for their respective NFL teams.
However, some former Georgia standouts stayed on the practice squad and a couple of other players primarily saw special teams snaps in their first year in the league. The NFL is a big adjustment from college for most players. The game is faster and there’s stout competition to get on the field.
Former Georgia Bulldogs like George Pickens, Quay Walker, Jake Camarda, and Jamaree Salyer were all big contributors as rookies.

NFL Network draft expert Daniel Jeremiah predicts that four Georgia Bulldogs and a UGA transfer will go in the first round of the draft.
NFL Network draft expert Daniel Jeremiah thinks that four Georgia Bulldogs will go in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Georgia has won consecutive national championships. It is tough to win a national championship without a lot of NFL talent. Georgia fans should expect Bulldogs to be selected early and often in the 2023 NFL draft. However, it is unlikely that Georgia will break last season’s record of 15 players selected in the draft.
Georgia junior defensive tackle Jalen Carter has a chance to be the No. 1 pick in the draft.
Here’s the four Georgia Bulldogs and one Georgia transfer that Daniel Jeremiah projects to be first round picks:
