After a massively successful 2022 NFL Combine, Georgia football is set up to come away with a massive draft haul for the 2022 NFL Draft.

ESPN’s Todd McShay published his latest NFL mock draft and Georgia is the most represented team in the first round. McShay has four Bulldogs coming off the board in the first round, which would be a program record.

Defensive end Travon Walker is slated to land with the New York Giants with the No. 5 overall pick. He’d reunite with a number of former Bulldogs, including Andrew Thomas, Azeez Ojulari and Tae Crowder.

“Few players I’ve ever evaluated can generate the power he does from the ground up, and that was on display with a 35½-inch vertical and 10-foot-3 broad jump,” McShay wrote. “Teamed up with Leonard Williams and Azeez Ojulari, Walker will only continue to develop while giving the Giants a dynamic edge rusher to spark the defense.”
