Where have UGA players been taken in NFL Draft

11Alive will be tracking all night long which team each of those players gets selected to.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After setting an NFL Draft record by having 15 players taken in the last year's draft, the University of Georgia is here to represent once again all weekend long on the stage in Kansas City.

UGA has likely five players who are potential first-round selections. 11Alive will be tracking all night long which team each of those players gets selected to.

Jalen Carter

Jalen Carter was selected 9th overall by the Eagles. He will join fellow former Dawgs Nakobe Dean and Jordan Davis, both 2022 draft picks out of UGA.

The star defensive lineman was a force for the Bulldogs en route to their back-to-back national championship wins. After some pre-draft controversy with some off-the-field trouble, Carter's stock started to slip a bit from what was once viewed as a potential No. 1 pick just a few months ago. He stays inside the top 10 with his incredible skillset.

Stetson Bennet

Georgia’s two-time national championship-winning quarterback was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round of the NFL draft.

That unites him with coach Sean McVay and fellow former Georgia signal-caller Matthew Stafford on the West Coast. The 25-year-old Bennett’s unlikely route from junior college to the heights of collegiate success has been well documented, but the NFL worthiness of the quirky quarterback known as “The Mailman” has been hotly debated for years.

Nolan Smith

Nolan Smith was taken 30th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. He will now join up with fellow Bulldog and 2023 first rounder Jalen Carter along with 2022 Eagles draftees Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean.

Smith is a high-character, high-energy player with the leadership skills that are ready to command a defense. Not to mention, his skillsets are flat out ridiculous. Let's not forget that before his injury, Smith very well could have been a consensus top-five pick in this year's draft.

Broderick Jones

Broderick Jones was selected No. 14 overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers after they traded up to get him.

The 6-foot 4-inch, 310-pound offensive tackle from Lithonia, Georgia, was one of the Dawgs' most consistent road graders in the trenches. He started all 15 games for UGA in 2022 at left tackle and helped lead the Bulldogs to back-to-back national titles.

Darnell Washington

Darnell Washington was selected 93rd overall (3rd round) by the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's the third Bulldog to be selected by the Steelers in the last two years (George Pickens, Broderick Jones).

The overpowering tight end shot up draft boards with a highly-productive 2022 season at UGA.
