Georgia football's season unfortunately came to an end earlier than anyone was hoping. With the way the college football calendar is setup though there is no time for Kirby Smart, his staff or any player to dwell on that defeat as they all have some big decisions to make.
One of the many decisions some players have to make is if they want to enter their name into the NFL Draft or return to Georgia for one more season. Defensive lineman Christen Miller is one player that is more than ready for the NFL, but he still has one more year of eligibility remaining.
Miller however has decided to give up his final year of college football as he announced on Saturday that he will be entering the NFL Draft.

Georgia DL Christen Miller makes his NFL Draft decision
Miller has been at Georgia for four years because he redshirted during his true freshman season. Miller however made an immediate impact the second he took the field in 2023 as he recorded 14 tackles and one sack. His production improved in 2024 when he set his career high of 27 tackles.
This past season he took a minor step back as he only recorded 23 tackles, but he did tie his career high of 1.5 sacks.
Miller heads to the NFL with the potential to make an immediate impact on whatever team decides to draft him. He likely won't be among the first defensive linemen selected in this summer's draft, but one team will absolutely take a chance on him.
Georgia has already begun looking for his replacement, and they have set their eyes on the No. 2 defensive lineman in the Transfer Portal. Miller however will be tough to replace regardless of who Georgia brings in, but he is absolutely ready for the NFL and it will be exciting to see where he ends up.
