Seven Bulldogs were drafted in the 2019 NFL Draft and four signed as undrafted free agents. Deandre Baker, who was taken in the first round by New York, was the first cornerback off the board. There was no consensus on the top defensive back prospect but Baker was in every conversation for the top spot.

Kansas City took Mecole Hardman in the second round as he will likely be groomed in the Tyreek Hill role. Hill's future in the league is in question due to domestic violence accusations that surfaced over the past month. Hardman has a similar play style to Hill with an abundance of speed and athleticism.

D'Andre Walker may have fallen into a perfect position to succeed. The Tennessee Titans a 3-4 defense, providing opportunities for a player like Walker to find their niche as an edge rusher.

Despite his rough outing at the combine, Elijah Holyfield was still expected to be drafted in the middle rounds. He fell undrafted but, like Walker, may have found an excellent team fit. Behind Christian McCaffrey, The Panthers were in desperate need of a complementary running back which is exactly what the team will get with Holyfield's power-running style.

Isaac Nauta was a true wild card in the 2019 draft as he tested among the bottom of his position group in the combine as well. He has surprisingly adept hands in the passing game and was a strong blocker in the run game. He is likely to succeed next to an improved offensive line in Detroit and former SEC standout Kerryon Johnson running behind him.

The past few seasons have seen many Bulldogs excel at the professional level. Players including Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, and Roquan Smith have been difference makers in the NFL. The new crop of Georgia standouts is poised to join in on the fun.
