The NFL Combine is kicking off this week which means it is time to turn our attention on the Georgia Bulldogs who are looking to get drafted this summer. 10 Bulldogs will be participating in the NFL Combine this year, but there is a great chance that even more than that will be drafted later this summer.
Why is that? Because there is one attribute about Kirby Smart and his teams that stand out to every NFL head coach and organization in the league.
"Tough. That's what Kirby [Smart] is about. That's what that program is about," Atlanta Falcons head coach Steven Stefanski said si.com. "I'll be there at their pro day in March to see it up close and personal, but you're getting a mentally and physically tough football player when they are coming out of Georgia."
NFL head coach praises Kirby Smart for instilling toughness in his players
Atlanta Falcons head coach Steven Stefanski recently spoke about Smart and his team's ahead of the NFL Combine. Everyone knows how successful Georgia has been under Smart and the elite players he brings to Athens every year, but Stefanski knows that their toughness is what takes each Bulldog to the next level.
That is likely why the Falcons chose to use their first round draft pick on former Bulldog Jalon Walker just last year.
So while there are countless really good players looking to be drafted later this summer, Stefanski knows that the toughness everyone from Georgia has is what separates them. So while some teams are overlooking certain players from Georgia, it is clear that the Falcons are not.
Most Georgia fans are also fans of the Falcons, so seeing these comments from Atlanta's new head coach is very exciting. It is every Georgia fan's dream for as many Bulldogs to play for Atlanta, and it looks like the Falcons are ready to add as many as they can in the NFL Draft this year.
