Georgia Bulldogs defense back Christopher Smith has accepted an invitation to the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl will be played on Feb. 4 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
The game is played annually in Mobile, Alabama. The Senior Bowl is considered the top NFL draft scouting scrimmage ahead of the draft.
Christopher Smith was named as one of four finalists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. Smith, a senior, has 49 total tackles, one sack, three interceptions and five pass deflections. Smith had a memorable blocked field goal returned for a touchdown in the SEC championship game against LSU.
Smith will enter the 2023 NFL draft following the end of the college football season.
Georgia’s defense ranks second in the country in scoring defense. Christopher Smith is a big reason why Georgia’s defense is so good. He seldom gets beat deep and is a strong run defender.
Smith returned to Georgia for another season to boost his NFL draft stock and to win another national championship. Smith has certainly has helped his 2023 NFL draft stock this season.
The senior made the midseason all-riser team for the Senior Bowl. Smith and true freshman Malaki Starks have played the safety position at an elite level for Georgia this year.
