It's hard to imagine a better feeling than winning a Super Bowl. Unfortunately for normal people like Georgia football fans, that will never be something we get to experience, so the closest UGA fans will get to experiencing that is watching their favorite NFL team win it or seeing former Georgia Bulldogs win the Super Bowl.
Sunday night Georgia fans got to witness six Bulldogs accomplish their dreams of winning the Super Bowl when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.
While winning the Super Bowl in general is a huge accomplishment, that got magnified for some Bulldogs when you factor in the success they found during their time at Georgia as well. And that's exactly what Jeff Sentell with Dawg Nation showed with the below post that outlines an elite four-year run for two former Georgia football stars.
Hard to imagine a better college-to-NFL transition than the Philly Dawgs …

Let’s take a look for @breadmanjalen and @SmithNoland2 here:
2021 - National Champions
2022 - SEC and National Champions
2023 - 11-6
2024 - Super Bowl Champions knocking off the back-to-back champs
Can a 4-year run get any better than this?
Noland Smith and Jalen Carter arguably just had the greatest four-year run in the history of football. That run began in 2021 when they helped lead Georgia to its first National Championship since 1980. Winning one National Championship makes for an impressive college career, but they weren't done yet as they followed that up with an undefeated season in 2022 that saw them win a second National Championship and Georgia's first SEC title since 2017.
Both players then moved on to the NFL where they kept finding success with the Eagles. In 2023 they went 11-6 with the Eagles which was good enough to make the playoffs. They unfortunately lost in the first round of last year's playoffs, but we all know what happened next. Philly then went on to have an even better season in 2024 while earning the 2-seed in the NFC before rattling off four straight wins to take down the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
All four of these seasons are impressie on their own, but combining them together is potentially the most success any player could ever find in a four-year stretch. But that's what happens when players choose to play at Georgia then land in a great spot like these two did with the Eagles.
