Jones has played in every game for Georgia since the beginning of the 2021 season, seeing time as a reserve and spot starter in 2021, and taking over at left tackle for the 2022 season.

In maybe the biggest moment of his career, Broderick Jones stepped in for an injured Jamaree Salyer in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship against Alabama.

The No. 2 tackle in the class of 2022 per 247Sports, expectations were high for Jones entering his college career. He certainly lived up the they hype. Per PFF, Jones did not allow a single sack in 2022, helping Georgia defend their National Championship.

At 6-foot-4, 310 pounds, Jones is the ideal mix of size and speed for the next level. NFL teams covet offensive lineman that can get out in space, and he's shown the ability to do just that.
