Georgia's Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams headed to NFL draft

Georgia standout defenders Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams are both headed to the NFL draft, where they could continue the school's run of first-round selections. Both made their draft declarations Monday on Instagram.

Walker, an inside linebacker who won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker, earned first-team All-SEC honors alongside Williams, a defensive end. Walker led Georgia with 10.5 tackles for loss and tied for the team lead in sacks with 6.5, while adding a team-high seven quarterback hurries and two fumble recoveries.
