Georgia finished 11-3 and won the SEC championship against a brutal schedule in 2024 under Kirby Smart.
The Bulldogs are not slowing down, by any means. Georgia has another strong class in the 2025 NFL Draft. Projected first-round picks include safety Malachi Starks, linebacker Jalon Walker and defensive end Mykel Williams. Smart continues to develop elite talent on that side of the ball.
Georgia had 14 players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, so another haul of double-digit draft picks seems inevitable in 2025. Sporting News breaks down the Bulldogs' potential draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Starks, Walker and Williams are consensus first-round picks. Starks led the Bulldogs with 77 tackles last season. Walker led Georgia with 6.5 sacks and had flashes of dominance – namely the three-sack performance against Texas on Oct. 19. Williams played through an ankle injury last season and is a consistent pass rusher.
Ratledge is the best of the three Georgia offensive linemen on the board. He will be a solid Day 2 pick on the interior line.
Mondon and Etienne are intriguing Day 3 sleepers. Mondon had 57 tackles and three sacks last season. He closed last season with 28 tackles in a three-game stretch against Georgia Tech, Texas and Notre Dame. Etienne ran a 4.42 at the NFL Scouting Combine. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry and had 32 receptions last season.
Which school has the record for most picks in a single NFL Draft?
Georgia had 15 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, and that included five first-round picks led by No. 1 pick Travon Walker. Ohio State (2004) and LSU (2020) each had 14 players selected, and Michigan (2024) had 13 players taken in last year's draft after winning the national championship.
