There is a natural fan base that supports both the University of Georgia and the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, any Georgia fan would love to see their favorite player continue wearing red and black as they enter the NFL.
The past 25 seasons have seen the Atlanta Falcons only draft four players from UGA. From DJ Shockley in 2006 to Akeem Dent in 2011. None of these players panned out. Akeem Dent had a career year in 2012 as he led the Atlanta Falcons defense to the NFC Championship game and then saw his production fall right back down.
