Georgia football fans expect Zachariah Branch, CJ Allen, Monroe Freeling and Christen Miller to have eye-popping stats at the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis as they are likely to go in the first or second round of the draft.
But that's not who you want to watch out for.
But there are four Bulldogs in particular that everyone should be paying attention to, and that is punter Brett Thorson, tight end Oscar Delp and wide receivers Colbie Young and Dillon Bell. Let's look at why each of the four may surprise everyone.
1. Brett Thorson, Punter
With an average of 45.5 yards per punt with a career long of 66 yards, Thorson brings an Aussie toughness and deep skill that improve many an NFL special teams' performance. On the rare chance there's a run-back, he's 235 pounds of "you're not getting by me."
2. Oscar Delp, Tight End
He'll get compared to Brock Bowers, but Delp is his own man with a 13.1 yards per catch average. That's guaranteed first downs on the NFL turf. Underutilized at Georgia, Delp has the chance to shine through at the combine and raise his draft status.
3. Dillon Bell, Wide Receiver
Playing in the shadow of Branch's greatness may hamper Bell, but sharp NFL scouts should pay attention to his dual-threat skills as a wideout and running back. With nearly 10 yards per catch and over 8 yards per carry averages, Bell needs to show off both in Indianapolis to get extra eyes on him.
4. Colbie Young, Wide Receiver
Young also has the opportunity to up his draft status with a solid showing at the Combine. At 6 ft, 3 in, and 215 pounds, he's the prototypical receiver, with a consistent 13 yards per catch average. With the right team, Young could prove to be an elite offensive weapon.
Only the best get invited to the NFL Combine, so these Bulldogs are in elite company. Each will need to prove they belong. If they do, their draft status accelerates upward, meaning more impact and more money.
