Georgia football: Top-10 NFL Draft classes in Bulldog history
2. 2013
Eight players drafted, two in the first round
With Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree and Shawn Williams, 2013 was a hard class to top. This is the class that nearly led Georgia to a National title in 2012 and has since gone on to field some of the best in the NFL today.
The players drafted in this group include:
Jarvis Jones-Pittsburgh Steelers
Alec Ogletree-St. Louis Rams
John Jenkins-New Orleans Saints
Shawn Williams-Cincinnati Bengals
Sanders Commings-Kansas City Chiefs
Tavarres King-Denver Broncos
Cornelius Washington-Chicago Bears
Bacarri Rambo-Washington Redskins
NFL Careers
Ogletree has clearly been the best Dawg from this draft. He has started in all 52 games he’s appeared in during his four years in the league. In that time, he’s made 406 tackles, five interceptions and 11 forced fumbles.
Jones has had a quieter career than Ogletree, but he’s still been solid with 129 tackles and six sacks at outside linebacker. Williams didn’t do much in his first two seasons, but he started four games in year three and last season he started 15 games for the Bengals. In those four years, he has 135 tackles and five interceptions.
Jenkins had a good first three years with the Saints. He had 100 tackles and 21 starts in those first three years. He struggled last year and only appeared in nine games for the Saints and Seahawks. But he can certainly turn his career back around.
