It was an eventful night for Georgia football on Thursday in the 2023 NFL draft: Three Bulldogs heard their names called.
First off the board was star defensive lineman Jalen Carter, who was selected at No. 9 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
The cameras were live in Athens as Bulldog teammates watched Carter take the next step.

Offensive tackle Broderick Jones went to the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No. 14 pick, followed by edge rusher Nolan Smith, who was taken by, once again, the Philadelphia Eagles, who are rebuilding the Bulldogs record-breaking 2021 defense.
The Eagles now have former Georgia star defenders Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith.
