Today, it was announced that the 2022 NFL draft, which will begin on April 28 in Las Vegas, Nevada, will host 21 players. Included on that list are three of UGA’s former defensive stars: Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, and Devonte Wyatt.
According to multiple outlets, Davis, Dean, and Wyatt are all projected to be selected in the first or second round of the draft, and while they are not attending the event, Travon Walker, George Pickens and Lewis Cine also have a good opportunity to be chosen early.
Deandre Baker, a defensive back who played for the Bulldogs from 2015 to 2018, was the last Georgia player to attend the draft. Baker was selected by the New York Giants in the first round as the 30th overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.
This year, UGA has the opportunity to achieve a record number of first round draft picks, and considering the talent and skill of the available players, it would be not surprising if all five of them were taken off of the board during round one.
