The Georgia Bulldogs continue to make waves on the national stage as two of their top stars—Mykel Williams and Malaki Starks—have officially accepted invitations to attend the 2025 NFL Draft, set to take place next week in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
This exciting development places the spotlight on Georgia’s continued dominance in producing elite NFL-ready talent.
Mykel Williams: A Defensive Force
Mykel Williams has become a household name for Georgia fans and college football enthusiasts alike. Known for his explosiveness off the edge and ability to disrupt offenses, Williams has solidified himself as one of the premier EDGE rushers in this year’s draft class. His rare combination of strength, agility, and technique makes him a top contender for a first-round selection. Analysts have pegged him as a future game-changer in the league, drawing comparisons to some of the NFL’s current stars at the position.
Malaki Starks: Leader in the Secondary
On the back end of Georgia’s defense, Malaki Starks has shined as a consistent and dependable force in the secondary. Starting 42 out of 43 games in his college career, Starks’ durability and high football IQ have made him a coach’s dream. His sideline-to-sideline range, ball skills, and leadership have drawn widespread praise, and he’s widely projected to hear his name called on Day 1 of the draft. Many believe he’ll be an instant-impact player for whichever franchise lands him.
A Testament to Georgia’s NFL Pipeline
With Williams and Starks heading to the draft’s main stage, Georgia further cements its reputation as one of college football’s premier pipelines to the NFL. This comes on the heels of recent years where multiple Bulldogs have made successful transitions to the pros, often becoming early contributors on their respective teams.
As the NFL Draft kicks off April 24–26, all eyes will be on Green Bay to see where these two Georgia standouts will land. One thing is certain: their futures are bright, and their journeys from Bulldogs to NFL stars are just beginning.
