Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo is one of the top players in the 2023 NFL draft. However, Ringo and the Georgia secondary have given up a lot of yardage in recent weeks. The Georgia pass rush needs to be better against TCU. Ringo has all of the physical traits that NFL teams are looking for in a cornerback.

No. 41 Georgia tight end Darnell Washington
