While there aren’t any Georgia players in play for the Falcons with the No. 4 overall pick, there are some intriguing ones that could interest the team later in the draft. The prize of UGA’s class is EDGE Azeez Ojulari, who could be a home-run pick for Atlanta in the second round, or if the team trades down into the late-first.
Arthur Smith may be in his first year as the head coach of the Falcons, but it wasn’t his first time at a UGA pro day. Back in 2019, Smith was in attendance as the Titans offensive coordinator and Tennessee went on to draft linebacker D’Andre Walker in the fifth round that year.
