A few weeks ago, the world saw Georgia football take over the 2022 NFL Draft and see 15 players selected, and now those players are already making impressive first impressions.
Dawg fans knew these guys would shine in the league, but it’s interesting seeing the local media and their fans take in the wonders of these players.
From Travon Walker in Jacksonville to the Green Bay Packer duo Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt, those first-rounders are killing it in their new cities. Signing contracts for a combined $92.5 million is incredible.
However, it appears most of the Dawgs have already gotten some kind of mention after the Draft, and we love to see it.
Georgia football is already seeing its NFL rookies leave strong first impressions.
Let’s start at the top with Walker and how it’s going with the Jaguars. From the time he inked his incredible $37.4 million rookie contract to now, Walker has gotten some attention in all the right ways.
His teammates already seem drawn to him, and the Jags are 100% bought in and knew he was the right guy for their team.

He fits the part, and it’s exciting to see him already working hard. The season will be here before we know it, and if this continues, Walker will shine this fall.
The reports go farther than Travon Walker too. Lewis Cine, Channing Tindall, Quay Walker, Wyatt, Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Zamir White, James Cook and Jamaree Salyer have all gotten discussed in the last week.
Georgia is proving right away that if an NFL team drafts one of their guys, it will pay off in the long run.

From top to bottom, Georgia is producing high-character and developed players ready to go on Day 1. Are there some things to improve? Of course, but at the same time, they are coachable, so they welcome the criticism.
This production is another recruiting tool for the program, and it should interest recruits because it proves how much the coaching staff is helping them meet the league’s demands.
Georgia football should be incredibly proud of this draft class and how these guys are already making a name for themselves. These rookies are on track for a strong season, and it’s great to see the Dawgs doing well on their respected NFL teams.
