Former Georgia tight end Isaac Nauta has been taken by the Detroit Lions in the 7th round of the NFL Draft, with the 224th overall pick.
Nauta joins a Detroit team that is led by former No. 1 overall pick and Bulldog great Matthew Stafford.
Nauta came to Georgia as a five-star recruit in the 2016 class out of IMG Academy, though he is originally from Buford, Georgia.
Georgia never fully utilized Nauta’s skillset, however, it was still clear that he was deserving of that five-star rating he had coming out of high school.
His freshman season, Nauta was a favorite target of quarterback Jacob Eason.
