Georgia Bulldogs are making a strong impact across the NFL this preseason. Georgia rookies George Pickens and Travon Walker are both out to excellent starts. Pickens is arguably the NFL’s top breakout star this preseason.
Georgia football had 15 players drafted in the 2022 NFL draft, so Bulldog fans are getting to watch a lot of new faces this year.
Dawg fans were delighted when the Eagles drafted both Nakobe Dean and Jordan Davis. That duo is already making plays in the preseason. What other former Georgia stars are making an impact in the NFL this preseason?
Here are some of our top plays from Georgia Bulldogs in week one NFL preseason action:
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens
George Pickens continues to make play after play. The rookie wide receiver is looking strong and healthy. Pickens may end up being remembered as a steal in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Pickens showed excellent body control and coordination on the touchdown pass he hauled in. What a toe tap!
George Pickens is Him. 🔥 @steelers

Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean combine for a stop
The Philadelphia Eagles drafted both Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean. Now, the Eagles are starting to see what made that duo so special in college at Georgia.
Jordan Davis penetrated into the opposing backfield and made initial contact with the running back. Nakobe Dean, who has excellent play recognition, was there to finish the tackle.
DAWG mentality.
