Who is Georgia losing to the NFL Draft?

A year after setting the NFL Draft record with 15 selections, Georgia is once again looking at losing a large amount of players to the next level.

Georgia (13-0) is currently preparing for a College Football Playoff matchup with Ohio State (11-0), but as the team gets ready to try and defend their national title, Georgia’s coaches are pulling double duty; coaching up their current players and trying to solidify their 2023 signing class ahead of Signing Day 2022, coming up on Wednesday, Dec 21st.

The Bulldogs are set to lose another extremely productive group of players to graduation and the NFL Draft. So far, no players have declared for the Draft, but that will certainly be coming following the College Football Playoff.

So, who’s staying and who’s going?

There are a few names that feel certain; Kelee Ringo, Jalen Carter, Darnell Washington, Kenny McIntosh, Nolan Smith, Warren McClendon, Broderick Jones, and Sedrick Van Pran all are highly-touted prospects that will likely declare.

Guys like Stetson Bennett and Kearis Jackson have exhausted their eligibility, and will probably end up in an NFL camp.

Again, we won't know for certain until after the CFP, but Georgia will once again have a huge amount of players vying for high spots in the NFL Draft.
