Georgia football: Eagles, Steelers, and Patriots seem to get what Falcons don’t

Georgia football players drafted by Atlanta since 1993

2011 – LB Akeem Dent, Round 3
1994 – LB Mitch Davis, Round 4
2007 – TE Martrez Milner, Round 4
2008 – RB Thomas Brown, Round 6
2022 – TE John Fitzpatrick, Round 6
2022 – OL Justin Shaffer, Round 6
2006 – QB D.J. Shockley, Round 7

Seven players, none in the first or second rounds. The first thing that jumps out is that the earliest any Bulldogs have been taken by Atlanta is in the third round, yet Georgia has had an abundance of first and second-round talent selected by other teams.

Beyond that, how many of those players really made an impact and helped the team to winning seasons? The quick and easy answer? Zero.
