Four former Georgia Bulldogs really helped their respective NFL draft stocks at the 2024 Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl is a premier predraft event and gives NFL draft scouts unprecedented access to players throughout the week.
Georgia defensive back Tykee Smith earned defensive MVP honors at the Senior Bowl for the American team. Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint scored a touchdown on a contested catch in the Senior Bowl. The game featured just two total touchdowns.
Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard was named as a practice player of the week along with Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey. Opposing defenders could not guard McConkey all week. In fact, McConkey may be in the conversation for being a first round draft selection after his monster week.
How did NFL draft scouts and social media react to how Georgia football players performed at the Senior Bowl?

NFL expert thinks Tykee Smith had a great week
Some (not all ) favorites that kept my attention from the 2024 @seniorbowl practices. @JimNagy_SB and his staff absolutely crushed in terms of set up, organization, and access. One of the best events on the #NFL calendar by far:
DE Adisa Isaac – Penn State
DE Laiatu Latu – UCLA…— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) February 2, 2024

Long snapper William Mote is hoping to be drafted
Extremely blessed to be able to wear the G one last time this past week. Thank you to the @seniorbowl and @JimNagy_SB for the opportunity. Couldn’t have asked for a better week. pic.twitter.com/d6GbOnVb8w

McConkey has been a great player
I’m more blown away with people being blown away by Ladd McConkey. Have we not watched what he’s done on tape at Georgia? He walked in and started jumping 4 star caliber players. You don’t do anything he’s done in Athens by accident. He’s a dude and has been. If there’s any…
