Georgia football has so many NFL rookies right now, and the Dawgs are taking over the NFL as much as they are taking over the college football discussion. The amount of Georgia love the NFL has shown really is a sight to see.
On Friday night, Zamir White was a force of nature for the Las Vegas Raiders and deserved a shout-out. Despite having two knee injuries in college, this young man does not quit. He refuses to give up and bow down — at this point, those two traits are not in his DNA. Now he is on track to have significant playing time for the Raiders as a rookie.
In their latest preseason game, Devonte Wyatt and Quay Walker showed out for the Packers. The Steelers continue to make George Pickens their poster child, and we never want to see that stop because it makes our hearts warm.
Those aren’t the only Georgia rookies getting love, and it’s across the league that continues to highlight what these former Dawgs are doing.
With a week to go before the college football season starts for the Dawgs, let’s brag on these NFL rookies just a little longer.
Georgia football saw its rookies take over another week into the NFL preseason.
These rookies are providing head coach Kirby Smart plenty of recruiting help, plus making the Georgia football program a national spotlight. Georgia had a great 2021 team, and seeing these guys already make noise continues to prove just how elite that championship team was.

Look at Wyatt and White go! These two are killing it for their teams. The blender comment also made us chuckle because that spin move is special. Wyatt’s teammate Walker was also making noise for the Packers. His speed is awe-inspiring to watch, and the Chiefs felt it.

Seeing things like this surrounding a Georgia football NFL rookie is what Smart loves. Something like this also helps to recruit on another level. When it comes to receiver recruiting, the Dawgs haven’t always had the most success, but this young man is helping the cause.

Could Nakobe be a starter by Week 1 for the Eagles? Maybe, but seeing that he is getting more reps with the starters is always a good sign.
The Dawgs are taking over the NFL, and there is a feeling a few Dawgs will hear their names quite often as the NFL season continues. Georgia football loves seeing these rookies and its other NFL players shine. It’s essential for the future of the program, plus Georgia fans love seeing their favorites continue to have success at the next level.
