The 2021 Georgia Bulldogs have one of the best defensive units in college football history.
Prior to the SEC Championship game against Alabama, the Bulldogs were giving up less than a touchdown per game. They enter Friday’s game against Michigan giving up 9.5 points per game after giving up 41 against Alabama in the conference title game.
A big reason for Georgia’s stout defensive is their dominant front-seven. They are giving up just 2.61 yards per rushing attempt and have only allowed three rushing touchdowns all season.
It’s a defensive unit that will likely have 11 players hear their name called (if they all declare) in the 2022 NFL draft.
After the Green Bay Packers hit a home run with Eric Stokes in the 2021 NFL Draft, they could go back to the Georgia defensive pipeline again in 2022. Let’s take a closer look at those 11 prospects.
Note: For this preview, I chatted with Shane Coughlin, the Director of College Scouting for the Shrine Bowl.
