The Atlanta native anchored the Georgia offensive line for 47 games in Athens.
The All-SEC second-team selection had his best season in a national title year, shutting down Alabama star linebacker Will Anderson Jr. in the championship game.
Salyer’s versatility as a lineman who has played multiple positions along the front will make him a steady pro.
