Tracking UGA football’s NFL Draft decisions

Georgia football’s QB Jake Fromm, LB Monty Rice, OL Solomon Kindley, and DL Devonte Wyatt are among the list of players considering the NFL.

It’s decision time for many of the veteran members of the Georgia Bulldogs: enter the 2020 NFL  Draft or return to Athens for another season. Each players decision is their own choice, but it is always beneficial to a program when veteran players return for another shot at the College Football Playoffs.

So far, Georgia’s right tackle Isaiah Wilson, running back D’Andre Swift, and left tackle Andrew Thomas have declared for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Georgia’s defense is getting a boost with the returns of safety Richard LeCounte and defensive lineman Malik Herring.

College football players have until the 20th of January to determine if they wish to enter into the 2020 NFL Draft. Juniors and redshirt sophomores are the primary players contemplating their NFL decisions.
