The first pick in the NFL draft is taken by the Jaguars. There is a time and a place. The UGA football team continued their hot streak on the first night of the NFL draft, with four first round picks, but it was just a continuation of their recent success. After the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in the summer of 2020, the University of Georgia won the College Football Playoff National Championship in January. The victory ended a seven-game losing streak against the Alabama Crimson Tide. I told the guys in the locker room to take a picture of this, because I remember back to the 1980 championship picture and seeing all those players and the Frank Roses and the Herschel Walkers reach out and say things. Matthew Stafford was the first Georgia quarterback to win a Super Bowl as a starter. In his first year with the Los Angeles Rams, Stafford sealed the team's 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals with a one-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp late in the fourth quarter. Joe Burrow was a former first overall pick. In Las Vegas on Thursday night, the bulldogs showed off their skills. The pros and cons of every first-round pick so far. Walker was the top pick. It was the second time a Georgia player was selected with the first overall pick, the other being Matthew Stafford who was picked by the Detroit Lions in 2009. Walker is the fourth defensive end to be drafted first overall in the past 20 years. The previous three made at least three Pro Bowls. What a year for @GeorgiaFootball 🐶 pic.twitter.com/cntZRm0JKr 🐶 Travon Walker🐶 Jordan Davis🐶 Quay Walker🐶 Devontae Wyatt 🐶 Lewis Cine@GeorgiaFootball is the first school in NFL Draft history to have five defensive players selected in the First Round❗️ pic.twitter.com/nAe3mQfSv0
Jordan Davis went to the Philadelphia Eagles with the 13th pick. Since 2012 the Philly had not drafted a defensive tackle in the first round. Davis is a big help to the Eagles interior rush efforts. He ran a 4.59-second 40-yard dash at the 2020 combine, which is close to the one he ran at the NFL combine.
Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt were both drafted by the Green Bay Packers. The first time two players from the same school were drafted in the first round was during the Common Draft Era. Lewis Cine was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round.
The five total first round selections was a new record for Georgia football and a record for the most players taken from one defense in the first round in the common era. The record for total picks from one team is shared by Miami and Alabama in 2004.
