Georgia Seniors in the 2023 NFL Draft

Most of the NFL Draft is comprised of seniors who spent four years in college before attempting to enter the pros. This allows those who don't break out early to continue their development in hopes of closing out their collegiate careers strong.

Georgia has 10 seniors looking to make the jump to the NFL. This group is headlined by EDGE Nolan Smith, who's expected to be a first-round pick. He's joined by safety Christopher Smith, quarterback Stetson Bennett, running back Kenny McIntosh, linebacker Robert Beal Jr., center Warren Ericson, safety Tykee Smith, wide receiver Kearis Jackson, cornerback William Poole and kicker Jack Podlesny.
