The 2026 NFL Draft is set to take place from April 23-25, and, for the first time, it will take place in Pittsburgh. Once again, Georgia will likely have a strong presence in the draft.
After going 14-1 in 2021, making the College Football Playoff, and becoming the first No. 3 seed to win the national championship, Georgia went 15-0 in 2022, winning back-to-back CFP National Championships. In 2023, Georgia went 13-1, with its fifth straight New Year’s Six bowl victory in the win over Florida State, giving Kirby Smart his 16th win over a top-10 opponent as a head coach. In 2024, Georgia went 11-3, with Smart winning his third SEC Championship. In 2025, Georgia went 12-2, winning Smart his fourth SEC Championship.
In another sign that the Dawgs are in line to be well represented in this year’s draft, Georgia has 10 players invited to this year’s NFL Scouting Combine in tight end Oscar Delp, wide receivers Dillon Bell, Zachariah Branch, and Colbie Young, offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, offensive guard Micah Morris, defensive tackle Christen Miller, linebacker CJ Allen, cornerback Daylen Everette, and punter Brett Thorson.
