Georgia football has recruited well, but their players aren’t being drafted high.
Kirby Smart has been the head coach of Georgia football since 2016. In that time Georgia has had just six players drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. In that same period, Alabama has had 15 of its players selected in the first round. This is the level of recruiting and development Georgia needs to get to compete at the same level as Alabama and Clemson.
There have been a total of 27 Georgia football players that have entered the NFL under Smart’s watch.
