Georgia Bulldogs NFL rookie Trey Hill has looked impressive thus far in the NFL preseason. The Cincinnati Bengals selected Georgia center Trey Hill in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft with the 190th pick.

Trey Hill was the only returning starter on the talented Georgia Bulldogs offensive line in 2020. Hill took over at center after former Arizona Cardinal Lamont Gaillard was drafted in 2019. He started 22 games in his Georgia career.

Hill earned AP All-SEC second-team honors in 2019 and was named preseason All-SEC in 2020. Hill started eight games in 2020 before undergoing minor knee surgeries in both knees ahead of the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. These surgeries contributed to Hill’s slide in the NFL draft.

Don’t be fooled. Trey Hill is seriously talented and brings a physicality to the center position that few can match. If healthy, then the Bengals landed a steal in the 2021 NFL draft.

The Bengals recently traded center and guard Billy Price to the New York Giants. Perhaps they are showing confidence if Trey Hill.

Hill’s preseason performances gives the Bengals a lot to look forward to:

Trey Hill dominated against the Washington Football Team in the preseason. Washington has one of the better defensive lines in all of football. Hill was playing against back ups, but he looked sharp in pass protection and when run blocking.

Get caught up on all things Georgia football NFL draft with this week’s episode of “UGA Football Live with J.C. Shelton”

Georgia football has five go in four-round 2021 NFL mock draft

Five Georgia Bulldogs football players are selected in the first four rounds of this 2021 NFL mock draft.

The 2021 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and a number of Georgia Bulldogs are expected to be selected throughout the 7-round event at the end of April.

Chad Reuter of NFL.com recently released his most updated four-round mock draft, in which he had five Bulldogs selected, including two in the first round.

Here’s how Reuter sees things playing out for former UGA players.

Round 1:

Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari goes No. 20 overall to the New York Giants.

The Giants get a couple of premium picks from this trade with the Bears and still select a much-needed pass rusher who best fits their scheme. Ojulari’s aĀ good athlete and plays bigger than his 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame portends against the run.

Cornerback Eric Stokes goes No. 28 to the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints are a bit thin at cornerback right now and former first-round picks Marshon Lattimore andĀ Patrick RobinsonĀ are both free agents after the season. Stokes is a fantastic athlete with good ball skills who could be a Tre’Davious White-type bargain near the end of the first round.

Round 2:

Cornerback Tyson Campbell goes No. 47 overall to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The junior out of Fort Lauderdale started in 23 games for the Bulldogs, recorded 89 career tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one interception, 11 pass breakups, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries. He started all 10 games for Georgia in 2020, finishing with 29 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, one quarterback hurry, and one interception.

He recorded two career touchdowns.

Round 4:

The Buffalo Bills project to take Georgia tight end Tre’ McKitty with the 108th overall pick.

McKitty spent one season with the Bulldogs after transferring in from Florida Sate last season and battled injuries throughout the 2020 season. In seven games played, McKitty caught six passes for 108 yards and one touchdown.

The Cleveland Browns get Georgia offensive lineman Ben Cleveland with the 110th pick.

Georgiaā€™s Ben Cleveland touts some of the best size, strength, and experience of any prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft. He measured as 6-foot-6 and weighs 354 pounds. Cleveland was an excellent run blocker for the Bulldogs in 2020.

Six Bulldogs picked in first three rounds of 2021 mock draft

How many Georgia Bulldogs be selected in the 2021 NFL Draft? Azeez Ojulari, Ben Cleveland and Eric Stokes project as high picks.

How many Georgia Bulldogs will be selected in the 2021 NFL draft?

In the 2020 draft, seven Georgia Bulldogs were selected: Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson, D’Andre Swift, Solomon Kindley, Jake Fromm, Charlie Woerner, and Tae Crowder.

More than one Georgia defender will be drafted in 2021. In fact, six Dawgs (four defenders) are projected to be drafted in the first three rounds of the 2021 NFL draft.

Here’s where Georgia Bulldogs are projected to go in the first 96 picks:

Outside Linebacker Azeez Ojulari: 22nd Overall

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Azeez Ojulari goes No. 22 overall to the Tennessee Titans. He would immediately help the Titans’ pass rush, which needs more talent.

Defensive Back Tyson Campbell: 39th

Tankathon projects the Carolina Panthers to draft Tyson Campbell in the second round. Campbell is strong against the run and has the physical traits to excel in the NFL.
