The University of Georgia continues to cement its place as a college football powerhouse, with early projections indicating that 13 Bulldogs could be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. This impressive figure underscores the depth, talent, and developmental strength of the Georgia football program under head coach Kirby Smart. If these projections hold, Georgia will once again be among the top contributors of NFL talent, following in the footsteps of recent record-setting draft classes.
Over the past few years, Georgia has become known for producing elite NFL prospects on both sides of the ball. The 2025 class appears to be no different, with several players expected to go in the early rounds. Among the top names are standout defenders and versatile offensive threats who played pivotal roles in Georgia’s continued dominance in the SEC and national contention.
One of the more prominent names being mentioned in early mock drafts is cornerback Daylen Everette, who has drawn comparisons to other elite Georgia DBs now thriving in the NFL. Alongside him, linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. is projected to be a top-50 pick, thanks to his athleticism, speed, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse, known for his strength and ability to control the line of scrimmage, is another key name gaining attention from scouts.
Offensively, the Bulldogs continue to impress with a strong offensive line and skill position players. Offensive tackle Earnest Greene III is being touted as a potential first-round pick, praised for his size, footwork, and pass protection skills. Tight end Oscar Delp has also emerged as a highly regarded prospect, following in the footsteps of recent Georgia tight ends who have made successful transitions to the NFL. Quarterback Carson Beck, entering what may be his final season in Athens, is another name to watch. If he builds on his previous success, he could rise significantly in draft discussions.
Having 13 players projected to be selected would not only demonstrate Georgia’s recruiting excellence but also its ability to develop raw talent into NFL-ready professionals. This consistent output of draft-caliber athletes is one of the reasons Georgia remains a top destination for high school recruits and transfers alike.
Beyond just talent, NFL scouts admire the culture Kirby Smart has established in Athens — one that emphasizes discipline, toughness, and accountability. Georgia players are typically seen as polished, well-coached, and prepared for the mental and physical demands of the pro level.
If these projections hold, Georgia will likely challenge or even break its own school record for most players selected in a single draft. It also solidifies the Bulldogs as the gold standard of college football player development.
As the 2024 college football season unfolds, these players will have the opportunity to further elevate their draft stock and showcase why Georgia remains a dominant force — not only on Saturdays but also in the NFL Draft come April 2025.
